It's about knowing what's 'normal' for the individual dog. If some of mine missed a meal, they would be straight to the vets as they are very...
One of mine used to be water obsessed when he was fed on kibble. He'd drink a full bowl and throw up. Since being on raw, they drink very little,...
I breed them so it's a bit different for me as I know they are from health tested lines, have been brought up properly etc, but actually choosing...
Agree that the dog needs teaching to wait and not get up and leave the car until requested. The parcel shelf if the shelf above the boot. The...
It's not necessarily about providing lots of toys, it's about providing toys which interest him. As such, they are best rotated so he doesn't see...
Not an easy question to answer. If you are a novice, then I would aim for as low COI as possible. Check the average COI for your breed and stick...
I would disagree with this. While puppies do need some physical exercise, too much exercise (as well as risking their growing joints) can often...
Poor Nova. Hope she's on the mend soon.
Hi! Can you tell us more about your 'silver' pup? What country are you in?
I agree with Michael, self control is often the best form of control. You could end up building bigger and stonger barriers, or teach her boundries.
Would you consider raw feeding him? I struggled with one of mine for 18 months before trying him on raw. Within 3 days his tummy was fine and has...
I think you have answered your own question. The only time he goes in the car is to go to the vets. Even if you can't walk him, could you take him...
I also raw feed, but it's not the easiest so not suited to everyone. I did a lot of research when I considered moving back to kibble and settled...
I would second a raised bed and Vetbed.
Was it his first time walking on a lead? If so, work on your lead work at home where he is more confident and find somewhere you can play with him...
J.B. sounds lovely! You could try to rotate his toys so he doesn't get bored of them. Then when he chows down on your feet, you can give him a toy...
Then you may just have to accept that she will be stressed and nervous and hope she is OK when you get back.
Being so young, I would be tempted to pop her to the vet.
Does she really have to go into kennels? Could you find a home boarder for her, or a housesitter?
Are you looking to work her or do competitions with her? If so, you may want to break the habit as she may do this to a wounded bird instead of...
