Thanks! He was quite the tiny bundle of cuteness (as our pups generally are!). :D I've just requested the "Forum Supporter" upgrade, so I'll...
Capronca - their dogs look beautiful but I've not yet done any other research into them. Do you know them?
I like to teach "watch me" and "target" - both were really helpful when teaching more complex commands later. Dremmel tool for toe nail cutting...
So handsome and I love his name! Is that an Austrian thing or is calling him your breadcrumb your unique invention? :-)
Yes, I agree with you. It's my heart over my head as taking a pup from this breeder would be easy...and I did love the sweet personalities of the...
Well, I had an 8 year old female when I got my puppy and they were absolutely soul mates. Her name pretty much instantly went from just Jodhi to...
How do you actually train that (not to mark or wee on walks)? My dog Brogan just did it (or rather DIDN'T do it) and it was dumb luck on my part...
I'm glad you got Snowy and his poo-loving personality though the health issues must be scary for both of you. But I hear you.. you can do...
Thanks - though I'm not adverse to looking in the UK either, mainly because of the language barrier in Germany. My German is passable and works...
I'm going to file this in my "really good advice" puppy folder! :-)
What a rough day! Good for you for keeping your cool under considerable pressure. I agree with Snowbunny/Fiona - it's so hard to stay on an...
Perhaps his age also has something to do with it? My background is in Rotties (I've not had a Lab and so am here to learn) but right around a...
When I was in California I didn't need to use anything but brewer's yeast and apple cider vinegar added to food. In Spain I used a Scalibor...
I'd be proud of them as well - that's an awful lot of temptation! Their noses must be on overload if they aren't used to town. :-)
Going to the beach 2-3 times a week his whole life, Brogan never ever ever...ever... learned that salt water was not good to drink. EVERY time...
Hi there! This is the same reason I am here. You can learn so much just watching what questions people ask about their puppies, pictures and...
Take heart, training a small dog can also be a total pain. I used to foster chihuahua crosses and a huge hurdle to getting them adopted was...
That's lovely when they come and check on you even when they could just run off willy nilly. And good boy Bruce to not be distracted by SIX spaniels!
She's lovely - thank you for sharing such great photos! :heart:
Thank you! I will try (yet again) when I get a new pup. I didn't do the "just before they wee" step. Maybe that will be the magic formula!...
