Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. He almost never gets fed out of a bowl. It's all training/rewarding good behaviour and...
Thank you so much. So many similarities, though obviously our boy is younger and is happy to nap next to you while you read or work on the laptop....
I have a question about his barking when we are cooking or eating. Our puppy school trainer says to completely ignore it OR to offer treats when...
Thanks guys. I'm just trying to focus on enjoying him and appreciating the good things. He is very sweet and affectionate. He was nuzzling and...
Little vent here. I'm still a bit sleep deprived (lots of 5.30 wakeups) and last night Chewie was with my husband on the sofa. I went to the...
This is so lovely to hear shawnlinus! We went through the puppy blues at about 10 weeks and now at 13 weeks we have some good days and some bad...
My pup is growing rapidly and his tail seems to be growing faster than anything else. When he first arrived at 8.5 weeks it was a silly, conical...
Chewie has been sleeping through the night for about 2 weeks. Last night he has to go out at around 4.30. All good. Then he didn't want to get...
My husband isn't all that bad, but sometimes he is so laid back I want to scream. I'm an anxious person and this is my first dog. He is the most...
We have just been having the toilet training in the rain drama. Fun times, but it looks like it's clearing today. Thanks for the welcome...
Chewie was 5.75kg when we got him at nearly 9 weeks and is now about 7.6kg at 13 weeks. He looks pretty good to me. He is a tall boy. He can...
My kongs so far have been really simple as Chewie can lose interest if they are too hard. Mostly kibble with some mashed sweet potato or...
Hopefully he goes the other way. When I was having a drink on the sofa today he was clearly trying to get my attention, but instead of barking he...
That's great to hear snowbunny. We can tell when he is about to bark (most of the time) and try to pre-empt it with redirection, like puppy push...
Hi! It's so great to find a forum where I can ask all the silly questions I have about my bouncy 12 week old Lab boy, Chewie. Also, where I can...
Hi all. We (myself and Chewie the black lab) are new here and I have a question. Does anyone else have a very vocal puppy? Chewie is 12 weeks...
We are in Sydney too. Luckily, being small, he isn't so smelly. We have been saving his liver treats for outside potty rewards so hopefully he...
I'm so glad I found this forum and this thread... we have a gorgeous 12 week old pup called Chewie and as a first time dog mum it has been...
Our 12 week old puppy Chewie has been a barker (and generally very vocal, which is great when you live in a townhouse!) and I find snowbunny's...
