This has helped me - I trained take it with food (as part of take it and leave it standard stuff) and with toys (playing tug). I trained let go...
Betsy has ripped so many of my tops! I had some lovely slightly floaty tops for summer, with zig zag pointy hems. Huh. They are no more....:rolleyes:
I do think this is a challenge, for sure. I'm rather determined that I would rather sustain a great deal of bites rather than not interact with...
I have no idea - I suspect it is a mix of genetics and early handling. Puppies in a litter can vary.... Betsy is an exceptionally bold puppy, and...
I've just had a (quite long) voice mail from my vet right now, so I haven't asked him about the details but yes, potentially either Charlie didn't...
Ah, that's very true! :D
HaHa - Tatze is on the Lambie network with super charged camel communicator! :D:D:D
Charlie has just had a full set of blood tests to check that there are no adverse indications that the cartrophen injections he now has on a...
Charlie went in his crate when young, and now we ask him to lie on his mat a little way away from the table. OH feeds him though, so if OH is...
I do have some chews for her - not rawhide though. I have some beef pizzles, rice chews, dried fish stuff and some venison chews from Billy and...
As a puppy, Charlie was pretty nippy and bitey but absolutely nothing compared to my new puppy, Betsy. She is a real determined horror for biting...
I didn't think any dog could eat faster than Charlie - until I met Betsy. Betsy gets more food than Charlie, and her food is dense, large kibble....
I find long lines quite tricky and even if you have your dog in a harness (which you absolutely must do, never on a collar) it is difficult to...
That's really good! It's such a boost when you come across a good class (and your dog is a star :) ).
My OH is a bit of a hi-fi (or whatever they are called these days) nerd, and we have elaborate subwoofers that are frequently sold on ebay and the...
I have agree with you. I grew up in a rural community where everyone had dogs. Kids knew how to behave around dogs, and weren't scared of them. I...
Bloomin' well hope so! Betsy is driving me mad! :D @Sarah C - I've had my pup a month now (she is my second pup) and I don't feel that I've...
I use a Puppia back fastening mesh harness on my 3.5 month old puppy, and when she is a bit bigger (probably about 6 months) I'll move to a fleece...
Hello there - 6 months is a really difficult age to live with a Labrador. Near adult body, but very puppy brained! Labradors are bouncy, mouthy,...
I know how you feel....my old Dad was staying with me this week, and he kept calling Charlie 'Jups'. Jups (Jupiter) is a black working Labrador...
