Give him chew toys? Lol. You can give him fabric toys to chew, and try to find toys that are tough enough to withstand the chewing, but if he's...
I don't encourage my dogs to chew toys - unless they are chew toys (e.g. kongs or similar). Toys are for playing games with, and games involve...
Yep, it will confuse her. Why do you want to train her to go to the toilet inside?
HeeHee - don't blame me if she wees! :D They were in pens because it didn't matter if they did! :D
I just ignore Betsy picking up stones - she does it so much, I'd drive myself round the bend if I worried about it. By not making a fuss, she just...
Both Betsy and Charlie were in pens from day one. Charlie had one or two wees overnight at first, Betsy has never had a wee in her pen. When she...
Not long now - hang on in there, it'll all be worth it. :)
You just have to manage small pups, and tick off the training tasks one by one. You can't train them to do something else instead of all the...
The fetch everything that is not nailed down comes from a drive to retrieve. You are not training your guide dog puppies as retrievers, it's...
I think that, rather than trade for treats, just making 'being near mum with things I've nicked' a really good thing is best. I did trade for...
I've never removed water from a puppy at night - I don't see any reason to do so. Dogs drink when they are thirsty, it's not like it's wine, tea,...
Ah, well, if you have a crying puppy in a crate, then you need to look again at her crate training. There is an article here:...
Plus....it is MUCH easier with a little puppy than with a teenager or adult dog that needs training. I took Betsy to a class for adolescents, at...
Neither of my dogs have settled as puppies - Charlie is chilled out in the house now he is older, but my young puppy Betsy wouldn't stop running...
I have been doing Susan Garrett's recallers (supposedly for Betsy, but reckon it would do Charlie no harm to do the basics again!) and I watched a...
I do very similar - only I walk in busy places, so I do need my dogs to be ok with quite a high volume of dog traffic. Which means they do have to...
Betsy is on Orijen large puppy, I certainly never bother to calculate the amounts between the guides on the packet. She has been on 100g a day...
The reason that meals are split into 4 is so tiny pups don't get runny poo/upset tums from too much food all at once. Charlie came home already on...
TeeHee - what a place to choose! A UK based forum about Labrador dogs. Yeah, right - absolutely your target audience for sex in New Delhi - so...
How dreadful. You poor thing, and Finn. :( Charlie, my beautiful gentle boy, was attacked a few months ago and his behaviour changed as a result....
