@Xena Dog Princess Though he is technically my dog, it's more than likely he will stay in my parents' large house with the yard when I eventually...
Ah, that makes so much sense. Thank you, this is really helpful! I'm excited to give it a try tomorrow, I'm super keen on getting a solid lie down...
Hello! I was wondering if anyone had tips on fading out a lure for a certain trick/action? Particularly with lie down. He does it fine with a...
Just an update on the situation: I conveyed the advice here to the rest of the family. Unfortunately, my dad insists that we have to avoid barking...
We've only had two sleeping arrangements for Stampy (aside from the first 5-6 nights he spent next to my room), but we certainly haven't had this...
I don't have any experience with this, but I did ask around in another post about getting a second dog who's older than your current one. If we...
@Xena Dog Princess That is so comforting to hear. We are very much muddling through, getting frustrated, tweaking our system, then muddling around...
At this point, I'm fairly certain we'd be willing to try anything. I'm lucky that my family really appreciates consistency. I just think we messed...
I think we have accidentally reinforced the barking. When he was up at 5, we'd let him out and that was pretty much the start for the day. It just...
I don't think he's being reinforced - if he wakes in the night, he only gets to go out to the toilet if he's quiet, and he's ignored until 5, when...
Hi everyone, We're really struggling at the moment. A couple of weeks ago, we moved Stampy's crate near my parents bed - he can see them through...
Stampy somehow always manages to get his wobbler pushed towards his playpen walls... I'm only just getting used to the rather alarming sound of...
I don't have much to add except that this is such an uplifting post, it made me smile so much! Your pup is lucky to have you, and I bet you're...
You poor thing :( It's good that you have the option of daycare. I hope you recover quickly! Sending my love <3 And thank you! The name was my...
Thank you everyone for such kind replies. I'm amazed daily by how supportive this community is! I'm trying my best to just persevere though each...
I've had a bit of a resurgence of anxiety. (Maybe it's puppy blues? Maybe not?) I no longer have that awful feeling of "what have I done, I need...
Stampy can get interested in toys in our summer room/deck, but as soon as we let him out just into the yard, the toys mean nothing. I suppose the...
Stampy was 10.5kg at 13.5 weeks. Growing by the minute.
That's really good to hear everyone, very comforting! @DebzC Interesting to note that 8/9 months is when things became relaxing, because I figure...
Hi all, sorry to be posting so frequently! While I think I'm almost out of my puppy blues (through a combination of Stampy learning to chill out,...
