For separation anxiety from humans, I dealt with this with my dog by never leaving him alone, then 2 or 3 times a day I'd practice leaving him. To...
I also wouldn't be able to do this with Lucky because he wouldn't be able to stay calm if someone went to say hi! I do leave him tied to...
I agree it depends on your dog and on how the daycare is managed. I have found a good set up for Lucky. The dog sitter doesn't have more than six...
For help with drinking, I use chicken flavoured water - just plain water with chicken breasts boiled in it - nothing else added. I only give a...
I've seen one silver lab who lives near me, and it looks more like a lab than some of the pictures on wikipedia. It's quite short and stocky, and...
Could she be feeling anxious when she's left alone? Sometimes dogs with separation anxiety do this. I think at 9 months she should be ok for an...
Looks like fun - I hope you enjoy it! Even if I was in the UK, I don't think Lucky would ever forgive me!! He's a bit of a wimp about water and...
I thought there was a gene that affected how dark a "yellow" lab is. It's not as simple as being one shade or another, as I think a CC dog would...
I don't think it's being unfair, I find dogs to be pretty flexible with us changing things, and often they are used to us changing criteria as we...
I buy this brand:...
I've never had problems in my house, but twice my unneutered boy has marked plant pots on the floor in other people's houses. We don't have any...
I find squeezy tubes are great for this. I use tubes of liver paste or salmon paste from the pet shop. Tuna and cream cheese sounds good though!...
Hi Tracy, I had the same problem outside with my rescue dog, who had separation anxiety in the house too. Our strategy was: 1) Don't separate on...
I haven't done this myself but am thinking about it. Cats Protection has this great video about introducing cats and dogs: [MEDIA]
I think what brand you buy depends on why you want one. Do you just want to track the distance your dog walks or does he/she run away either...
I agree that it's a difficult decision to make given a lot of owners have reported side effects. I had read about these before using Bravecto, and...
I use Bravecto for my adult dog. I previously used a spot on treatment called Fletic which I bought from the vet - maybe it's a German brand. I've...
Thanks for your reply @JulieT Developing aggression isn't a problem for Lucky - I've had him for 2 years now so know him very well. I think that...
@Harley Quinn I'm sure you will find it useful! I think it's great for friendly dogs because it rewards them for making the choice themselves....
Thanks @Beanwood - this is a great idea! I've been so focused on trying to reward calmness that I didn't think about adding something fun as a way...
