My gut feeling is that synthetic turf slows down toilet training a bit. We are in a similar situation, except part of our garden is synthetic...
My pup managed to destroy the inside of his memory foam mattress, while leaving the outside completely intact. I was wondering why it was so lumpy...
Yes! My pup steals carrots at daycare and gives himself soft poos. He also ate some flowering plants in the daycare garden, which also gave him...
The jumping is a problem for us too. People always say that it's fine, usually having approached him without asking. It really isn't fine. I have...
Yes, it probably won't be months, but a few weeks before you get to sleep through till 6 or 7. For the first week or so we kept our pup in a...
I'm so sorry for you and your pup. It must be so hard for you, but you really do have your pups best interests at heart, no matter what other...
Some things that we have found work are giving a tasty chew while you eat (we use bully sticks sometimes) and, as Ski-Patroller suggested,...
But what you actually said was "don't blame the tool," which implies that there are situations where it is okay to use choke/prong collars, or...

From reading this forum, labs seem to either be mostly silent or very chatty. I got a barkador! But only for play or food. He never alarm barks....

Thank you! I'll look that up today. I figure a hand touch will be useful in the future so worth training now.
So... I'm trying to teach Chewie to hand target using the clicker. He gets that he has to touch my hand, except he always licks my hand after...
Apart from barking, training is going well. We drove to a securely fenced dog park and had a ball. Brilliant recall and so much romping around....
Chewie also sometimes barks when the car stops... if the car keeps moving he usually falls asleep but in stop-start city traffic he can be quite...
So... I'm having a little resurgence of the blues. Chewie is great 95% of the time, but in the mornings he is a nightmare. He wakes up between 6...
We tried LAT with some dogs, people and brush turkeys today. Surprisingly had most success with the turkeys. I'm using a clicker, which is...
Chewie is only 10.5kg at nearly 18 weeks. His ribs aren't visible at rest but maybe he could do to be a little chunkier. He is all legs....
