If there really are lots of dogs around, and you don't have the choice of a quieter place, put a light line on your puppy's harness. The advice to...
There is only one study on this that I've seen, and the risk of stairs/steps and hip dysplasia is relevant for puppies under 3 months, not older....
Yep, that's this bit...:)
Charlie has had more bits of shaved fur, for ops, and x-rays, and heart checks and CT scans than I don't know what (he's all fine now though :) )....
This is appallingly bad for canine joints - in my view, anyway. So as above, I have my dog catch things with their bums firmly on the floor. :)
Take a handful of treats and sit down in a chair. Sit your dog up in front of you, close to your knees. You may as well be comfy, it can take a...
If your 4.5 month old puppy is weeing on carpets and beds every day, I'd be tempted to go back to basics for a bit. :) My 5 month old puppy,...
I don't really like puppies all that much! :D I was head over heels in love with Charlie, indulged him - far too much - and then he grew up into...

I have a ball obsessed dog. If you have a ball obsessed dog, it stops being funny very quickly. I smile when I meet people that say their...
In the house and garden, my dogs don't wear collars. I don't go to grab the dog, I go to grab the resource! You can't do this outside, off lead,...
Such good news your boy is fine! Charlie, as a puppy, scoffed loads of grapes in the garden before I learned they 'were bad'. He suffered no ill...
There is nothing magic about a slip lead. It's like a choke chain, only made of rope. I doubt it's less painful. Slip leads, unless your dog acts...
Yep, about 5 months. Charlie had his last 'accident' at round about 5 months then was pretty reliable. Betsy seems about the same.
Strangely, although both my dogs are counter surfers, and get 'human' food all the time, I can leave a plate of steak prepared for a human on a...
Well...would that be the Alaskan wild pedigree Labrador or the African wild pedigree Labrador? :D:D:D Domestic dogs are domestic dogs - they are...
Before you consider surgery, see a dermatologist - ask for a referral, no matter how much you like your regular vet and respect his opinion and...
