The rubber tooth Zoom n Groom type are great for guard hair. Furminators really take out the undercoat though I wonder if they are uncomfortable...
For better or worse, Cooper and Tilly have free run of our house and back yard. There are probably 20 trees back there and they drop branches so...
While it is not desirable, lots of dogs chew up sticks with no problem. We think Cooper may be 1/2 Beaver. She chews on sticks and small pieces...
In the US, most low windows have to be tempered glass, as do patio doors. It is a lot stronger and difficult to break, but if it is broken it...
I don't think any of the Labs we have or have had would ever bite us, though Cooper might play keep-a-way. Years ago I had a Malamute, that...
Can you just take swimming instead. They come out nice and clean, especially if you can use sea water followed by fresh. Ours are such water...
Tilly barks when she wants something, usually very specific. Like I want you to open the door to the upper deck. We pretty much can't ignore...
When Cooper was a puppy she did this several times when she had an empty stomach. Almost guarantee that it is nothing more than that. Try a late...
I think we may have seen Tilly at 2 weeks or there about, but it was mostly to see the kennel and the parents. Certainly could not choose a pup...
The Golden's care cost several $1000 at the emergency hospital, so this was not a happy go lucky dog that just ran by. The Golden did recover,...
Ginger used to eat wild grapes, until we learned that grapes were bad for dogs.
You can also try a cap pistol. Cooper did not mind the sound, but did not like the smell. You might also go out to a skeet or trap range and...
Other than watching to see that it does not get out of hand I would let it happen. Cooper (2) and Tilly (11) still do it. Tilly can stop it any...
One of our neighbors just got a year old Labradoodle, Lucy. The previous owner could not cope with her energy level and wanted to re-home her....
A year ago, a Golden Retriever was attacked by a pair of Pit Bulls in Multnomah Village. Apparently they had done this before, and were known...
With Cooper and Tilly, it was on lead walks and now swimming for the first 10 days. We had Cooper on sedatives to keep her quieter for the first...
Our back yard is a combination of compacted 1/4- gravel paths, beauty bark and just natural forest floor. The dogs use all of them. I prefer...
I would start out with riding in the passengers lap, and only making short trips to fun places. It worked for Cooper. She was initially unhappy...
How much exercise does he get during the day. Most dogs seem to poo after a short walk, or at least ours to. We have a fenced yard and a dog...
Contrary to most of the advise on this forum, both of our Lab pups went up and down stairs as soon as they could manage. Initially I carried...
