Getting in with him worked for us. If the water is too cold for you, send some kids in to swim with your dog (they don't seem to notice the cold :) ).
I agree. It's unreasonable to expect the public to work around aggressive dogs. UncleBob said the guy was "plain stupid". Yes he probably was....
:) Exactly! There is one place nearby where all the dogs wee. We call it Dogbook corner :)
Dogs sniff stuff a lot, that's clear. But can anyone help explain the different levels of sniffing and other associated behaviour? Our boy sniffs...
I think the time taken is heavily affected by how the early weeks are handled. We were lucky enough to plan that he wasn't alone for the first 5...
I'm not sure that was our actual pup, but they were all a similar size, really quite small. We haven't weighed him for a while but guess he is now...
Lovely to read about your new arrival, but I have to ask, is that really 5 weeks in that first picture? Is it a due to the camera angle? Here is...
Yes these are great unless you have wood floors and are taking part in a teleconference :D
It could be that he is bored with his toys. Are they the same toys that are available all the time? We bit the bullet and bought about 20 toys...
I don't think our boy gets to play with enough other dogs. When he gets the chance he is so happy. Usually we don't allow him to meet other dogs...
Gosh, this is deep. In "scary situations" like a thunderstorm, I try for a "horns of the buffalo" strategy: Two separate tactics which hope to...
Well yesterday he did his first "non-snow" poo. No circles, but he does a "walk", which is best demonstrated by the guy in white at 3:26:...
So after months of permanent snow cover, it's now melting. Some parts (e.g. under spruce trees) are now totally snow-free, but there's still maybe...
We have had: muskrat, adder, Northern goshawk, common snipe, curlew, fox, squirrel, moose, deer, yellow-necked mouse, vole and either a mink or...
I was thinking that the cutlery is thin, hard and non-porous, and the rinsing action of a dishwasher is designed to wash away the detergent. A...
Does the dishwasher rinse cycle manage to rinse the detergent out of the dummies? I would be concerned about residual detergent getting in to a...
We wash the food bowl each evening, which is, in my opinion, overkill. If I throw treats on the ground outside, I don't bother scrubbing it clean...
I didn't/couldn't vote. But if you do go for day-care, remember also to train him to be alone sometimes anyway. There will likely be times in the...
I know what you mean. I feel exactly the same when Mrs Snowy has taken the boy somewhere and I'm at left at home. The place feels strangely...
Our boyis a year old, but the sleeping pattern has been the same since he was small. He will drop off about 19:30-20:00, out for last pee at...
