I've raised 3 Labs (having said that, my most recent is a devil dog monster, so please feel free to ignore any or all of my advice). Personally,...
My devil dog ate tar backed carpet. I was too upset cleaning up the horrid mess he'd made of the floor of my spare room to see he'd thrown up all...
Thanks for all your replies - I really appreciate your time. I basically did crate training when I sectioned off my spare bedroom with a puppy...
My boy is 9 months old, and I'm absolutely exhausted. Originally I had a bedroom sectioned off with a puppy play pen and a baby gate which I...
Sing it with me: red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue...I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too... I...
I'm really sorry. I hope your boy makes a swift recovery.
My boy is 2 or 3 times a day (from at least 3 occasionally 4). I've cut back his food a little recently. I take careful note of the colour,...
Mine goes on similar walks. He's now about 8 months old, but when he was 6 months we'd return after the 45 minutes or so and he'd still have...
My boy was recently castrated, and it too was major surgery (his testes were located in his abdomen). The vet had to cut through layers of muscle...
I think it's a little like raising children - for example, an old friend of mine was obsessive about tidiness - so her children were taught from a...
Some may allow dogs, but as animals don't have credit cards or carry cash, they're still specifically for humans ;) Dog parks too allow children,...
Personally I feel like it's a comparison of apples to oranges - to expand on that, if one were to take a toddler or child to a dog park and then...
To be perfectly frank, whilst I don't think you're "a bit nuts", I do feel some of you go a little overboard - take you yourself for example, you...
Again, perhaps, this is a little clash of cultures (I don't know where you're located). This is a predominantly UK forum, and the members have...
Yes, thank you, of course. He's outside a few minutes at a time and only when I actually catch him in the act. There's no point putting him...
Thank you for the clarification - I really do appreciate it :)
I use a combination of positive and negative reinforcement. I appreciate the majority of the forum members use positive only with excellent...
I'm very sorry to read of your loss of Penny. You'll never replace her, but I hope that one day in the not too distant future you consider...
Oh, they're such a worry, aren't they? Mine had some very loose stools yesterday (but was eating and drinking and playing around very normally),...
The bad: My boy goes absolutely bananas when either other dogs or people walk close to him. I'm trying to train him to calm the heck down, so...
