Could you put in a dog door, so he can be in the house or the yard. That has been our solution for years. Once they were house broken, all of...
Cooper was 59# at 6 months. She is right around 80#, 36.3kg. now. Her mom was about 70# and her dad around 80#. She is a very tall (24")...
When Cooper was a pup, we put her playpen around the tree. Now, she and Tilly leave stuff alone, but we try to never have food under the tree.
Dog doors are a huge help. We never worry about having to take the dogs out at home. They go out when they need to, and all we have to do is...
Tilly seems to be allergic to some foods, which cause her to be itchy, and perhaps more ear yeast problems. The chicken and brown rice based...
Can your pup get some off lead time during your walk. One mile walking would not wear Cooper down much, but 1/2 hour running, chasing balls etc...
We usually ask, and if the dog is friendly we let them meet. If they want to play some, we will take Cooper off lead so they don't get tangled.
Remember that most brands have multiple formulas, so you don's necessarily have to change brands, but if you do change brands, you may have almost...
I think if a Jack Russell attacked Cooper, it might be the last thing he ever did. Cooper gets along fine with other dogs and plays very hard,...
As long as they stop and start up on their own is it probably fine. Cooper bites Tilly's leg some times, though usually they play bitey face or...
You might take the cone off, when you can watch her, to make sure she isn't licking her stitches. We bought one of the inflatable collars for...
We used a crate at night in our bedroom, and a puppy pen in the kitchen during the day. The advantage of the crate is that it makes potty...
While is it not ideal, we have several friends that have to leave their dog all day long. One of them uses doggy day care several times a week,...
Cooper (and Tilly when she was younger) are toy destroyers. There are a few like the Tuffy brand that seem to hold up, but their mission in life...
Generally it does get better with age. Cooper was pretty rambunctious at that age. The best way to stop chewing up things, is to keep them out...
He sure looks like a Lab. If there is anything else in the mix, it did not affect his appearance much. Both of our Labs have double coats,...
In the US (at least in Oregon) the areas labeled "Dog Parks" are pretty much a doggy free-for-all area, intended for dogs, not people. The only...
I can't see where you live, but if you don't have traffic concerns or real close neighbors, you might be able to get by without a fence at all...
We have a fenced yard at our home in Portland, but no fence at our ski cabin. We get so much snow that a fence would have to be 15 to 20 ft tall...
Cooper was very nervous originally, but with short fun rides, to fun places she go over it in a week or so, and now she loves to ride. Her...
