Oban and the other dog were having a good play and the man asked me, "How old is your dog?" "He's eight." "Oh," the lady exclaimed, "He's a...
Yes please, can you please video that before you try to fix it? :)
That is really unfortunate. For his part Oban seems to harbour no grudge against Golden Retrievers, even after the same thing happened to him. I...
My thought is: Dog intelligence has been variably said to be that of a two year old child, maybe a four year old. It's the dog owner's...
Welcome to both of you from Oban and me. It's been a while, Oban is 8 now, but he also arrived when our house became so quiet and empty after we...
Another idea, here St. John's Ambulance sometimes bring in a Vet and put on one day dog first aid courses. Maybe yours do too?
What about teaching him a stay on a mat or some such before being released to eat his meal? I don't need to do it now but my boy was required to...
Has Bella had a litter of pups? I have noticed Oban has a pronounced liking for females that are now spayed but previously had a litter. He...
This thread made me think of this. I can count five local dogs Oban is/was absolutely enthralled with. They were all spayed females but all 5...
Is there an update? Is Aurora ok? Some Vets will let you establish a credit plan and are quite aware a big bill at one time is hard for many...
WElcome to the board. I think we have another member from Oregon, @Ski-Patroller?
I like to have puppy on my knee, cuddled up in a thick blanket. I feel this is an important time to bond, puppy has just been wrenched from Mum...
RE. the cat, ditto @MaccieD . Just to give you an example, I bought a hooligan puppy home to three cats, all rescues, one feral, who were used to...
WElcome to the board. Can you give a bit more detail? What you describe does not necessarily mean fright. She could be excited. Peeing is...
Ditto Rosie. We also, in our first agility classes, often went in to help by being spotters for another dog on a raised station and tied our dogs...
I think a longer bonding period might help too, you've only had her one day and she doesn't yet know you are her place of safety. But, how old is...
Was just about to say the same thing as Charlie, you did the right thing by running the opposite way. It's a hard thing to do but you have faint...
Kind of a sad topic for me, I always thought retirement would give me more time to walk the dog. But Oban hurt his leg two years ago, put it...
Oban's last shot (third) was at 16 weeks and then the Vet said to wait another two before going to dog intensive places. That was about as long a...
The breeder will probably send you home with a package of the food puppy was weaned onto and is eating now. You should keep her on that food for...
