I agree letting him be in the room with you may really calm him. I tried letting Myles "cry it out" in a room across the house (this is just how I...
I'm so sorry to hear about your puppy's injury :(. I hope he has a smooth recovery. JulieT has created an excellent thread on things your can do...
I won't clean Myles ears until I see signs of irritation. He usually starts shaking his head and then I know. Otherwise I don't actually see...
Myles just turned 1 and he still does this occasionally. I agree it is an over excited or frustrated response, and when he is in that state there...
Myles is very prone to ear infections so I got some prescription stuff from vet. It's a 2 step cleaner then ointment. I soak a cotton ball with...
Myles has it and I think in the US it is more common in show labs. I think nothing of it. It certainly isn't a sign of anything.
I'm a big fan of feeding entire meals in some sort of treat dispenser or (Wob a lot). I actually have 3 different kinds and split his meal between...
I am so so very sorry to hear this Marie. So very sorry for your loss.
Good points Julie, I think you are right in that I have let him get to the boredom stage (trying to keep him engaged). I am still trying to get...
Thank you Karen. I agree I need to probably build on the things he does like. I think it's just been a mental block for me thinking he also must...
I'm really struggling with finding ways to tire out Myles (11 months). I am absolutely willing to play fetch, etc but he will only engage for a...
Myles (10 1/2 months) has recently been doing this on his lead walks. We will be walking along fine, and then I can't tell what triggers it but he...
Alright, finally going to start one of these. There are a few things we really need to work on. 1. On-lead impulse control 1a. Passing...
Yep, don't do it. There are a thousand other challenges with a puppy besides toilet training and this goes on for months, not just the first 15 weeks.
That's a great explanation of the difference between the 2. I'll have to give "look at that" a try. :)
That is a great video. I've never considered look at "that" instead of "me" but seems very similar in results. If I could pick 1 command that has...
Interesting discussion and I'm wanting to re-word what I was thinking in not allowing Myles gaze/stare. I do think those can be 2 different...
Myles can be a big time starer/gazer. I nipped this is the bud early by doing a "look at me" any time there is a distraction that may cause him to...
that's hilarious!
Myles is awful for this. His paws are the most dangerous things on him. He uses them a lot, mostly my fault for not discouraging it. I've noticed...
