It varies from dog to dog. We have always let our dogs meet any other dog that was friendly, especially during socialization. . None of ours...
I would not put a 6 hour limit on leaving a dog alone. If he has the run of the house and yard, lots of dogs are at home while their owners are...
Tilly had droopy lower lids like a blood hound. She often had gooey eyes, and we treated them periodically. She also had chronic of yeast and...
Be aware that staring at a dog is often perceived as aggressive by dogs that have not been socialized to it. Most of us have gotten our pups to...
How much wood could a Labrador chuck if a Labrador could chuck wood. Tilly and Cooper were both part Wood Chuck. We never really cared except...
I don't think you should get a second Lab this soon. It is a lot easier to train one dog at a time. If you want two Labs wait until your boy is...
When Ginger got old, we put down temporary carpet runners in the kitchen for her. She was not afraid of the floors, but she did have problems...
I think your pup just wants Lucius to play, and Lucius is not really into it. We dog sit a Sammy most days now, and while they do play,...
The best thing is to groom them outside in front of a fan. A Furminator works great there. It worked well with Tilly and Ginger, but Cooper...
If he tried it with Cooper he might get schooled. Sometimes she doesn't mind, and sometimes she returns the compliment, but a couple of times she...
Cooper and I think Tilly before her had the run of the house before 7 months. Both would occasionally chew up things they weren't supposed to,...
Neutering does not stop dogs from humping. Maybe sometimes it reduces it, but the neutered males I'm around still hump. Some females do it...
I bought a SEBO Airbelt D4 this Winter. It is head and shoulders better than any vacuum I have ever used. Large Casters so it rolls easy,...
I can find photos of dogs in the canoe, or wherry, but I don't have any of hauling them in. It is too busy to take pictures. We sometimes have...
A Zoom and Groom pulls guard hair and some undercoat. The Furminator mostly pulls under coat. Unfortunately for us, Cooper does not like being...
Does it cool off outside at night. In Oregon it can get quite hot in the daytime, but cools down into the 60s or 70s at night. I don't know...
We Canoe with ours. It is a lot easier to get a dog in or out of a canoe than most kayaks. Surprisingly it is easier to get a dog out of the...
Rope pulls are great for tug. Also Nylabones. Tuffy brand toys are less destructible than most, though that is not a big issue with small pups.
Cooper was only 10.5# at 9 weeks (4.8 kg) but she was gaining about a 1/2 lb per day. She ended up around 80 # and over 24" at the withers.
Sounds like he wants to play in the evening. Do you have tug toys, or things he can bite or pull on?
