Cooper will walk anywhere with us, except into our Vets:rolleyes:.
I know people warn about not letting pups climb stairs, but both of our Lab Pups were going up and down stairs at 14 weeks, and neither ever had...
Labs (most dogs) are pretty much self cleaning. Cooper gets maybe a bath a year. My Malamute only had one in his life, and he explained that it...
Why do you take the water up. We leave water down all the time. Cooper and our day care Samoyed both drink a lot of water, as did Tilly.
We have had 3 chocolates. The first one became diabetic at 12 and lived 4 more years so she outlived the average Lab by about 4 years. Tilly...
Cooper can be like that even at 4 years. When some one comes to the door she sometimes goes berserk with excitement. After a few minutes she...
Any thoughts about why some dogs just don't seem to get fleas? We have never had to deal with fleas with any of our Labs, though we did have them...
Keep hydrogen peroxide around the house for emergencies. I think it saved Tilly when she ate a months supply of deramaxx. We still spent a...
Do you mean urinate often as in marking. Cooper pees many times on a walk, but she is just leaving her pee mail.
Cooper would bark sometimes when she came back in in the early morning. My wife let her come up on the bed, to keep her quiet. She's been there...
If he is 8 or 9 weeks 30 min is too long.
Home Depot (A big home improvement store in the US) is a good place to meet a lot of people and some dogs. A lot of different smells and things...
By 6 months our pups were not crated. They occasionally got into some mischief but we mostly were able to keep things our of their reach. Cooper...
Be aware that dogs doing a lot of ball retrieves in (fresh) water can swallow so much water that they get water intoxication (low salt hydration)...
Cooper and Tilly would stop and lie down if they got too hot or tired retrieving tennis balls. Cooper would be ready to go again if I picked up...
Not really and certainly not often. Cooper has had a few showers over 4 years. Probably less than one a year. She gets to swim in the warmer...
Does it really matter? Cooper eats her kibble so fast I'm not sure she chews it much. Tilly was the same way.
I don't know much about them in dogs, but they are so routine in people that most folks don't worry much about having them (I have two partial...
Both of our pups did stairs fairly early, Cooper and Tilly never had any hip or shoulder problems. I don't think we carried them after two or...
I would find a different solution until your pup is older. 6 months is too early IMHO. A lot of doggie day cares in the US have similar rules,...
