Can you direct her onto appropriate chews/toys instead?
If the hock has enlarged since your last vet visit, I would be tempted to take her back to the vet and request an x-ray.
Have you tried training a positive 'leave that' command?
No, I haven't come across this behaviour before; sniffing other dogs wee, and even teeth chattering, is fairly normal, but I've never known a dog...
Great news- half way there!
It's difficult to offer any advice from just a picture, let alone without one. I would say that if you are concerned with something you do not...
Where abouts are you? If you are local enough, I could see if I could help you
I've heard of a few people doing this when the breeding is time sensitive (eg an older bitch). You should still send them to the BVA, but yes,...
How much exercise and mental stimulation is he getting?
The rule of thumb is 5 mins per month of life, so at 12 weeks, that would be 15 mins. Each to their own, and this is not my advice, but my pups...
I wouldn't wait for him to ask to go out. Go back to puppy basics and let him out every hour/ after play sessions, after feeding, upon waking etc...
Bearing in mind that you are hoping to spend the next 15 years together, I personally would not risk it. I could understand a slightly lapsed eye...
He's trained you well! He barks, you let him out. I'd suggest going back to puppy basics- set your alarm for a time before you know he wakes eg...
I have used the ruffwear ones and found them to be good. I believe they are the ones the fire/search and rescue use.
I am so sorry for you and your dog. I can't offer any advice I'm afraid but please do inform the breeder as they will need to know for future...
If it really has got to the point that you are thinking of rehoming her, would you consider sending her to a gundog trainer for a couple of weeks...
Do you have a problem with fleas? We are very lucky that we have never had a problem with fleas so don't need to use these chemical collars. We...
This looks like more than just a little bit of hair loss. If he were mine, I would pop him to the vet to see what they think. It might just be...
If we have a crate set up, ours will always go in there to sleep. Up to you if you want rid of it, but they do tend to like a little den.
What does he like to do? Could you do some scent training with him? Does he like to retrieve? You could try some gundog training?
