Hi! We adopted a small mixed breed dog. Unfortunately his previous owner crated him most days for more than 8 hours a day since he was a small...
Hi there. Had my first one on one training with Max. The trainer believes that he has anxiety, she said that this can be common with yellow labs....
We don't allow Max on any furniture except his bed - which is pretty big and plush. The biggest reason is our sofas are very new and the most...
That sounds painful not sure I could drag myself out of bed that early but I'll have to give it a try.
I hope it lasts for you. Yeah, once he wakes me up I'm pretty much awake. Sometimes after he eats and goes outside we both fall back asleep in the...
I wish I could allow Max out of his crate at night but that's not practical in our home. Thanks!
Well after the third day Max is still getting up too early. I fed his last meal at 8:30pm last night and took him out for the last time at about...
Max is 40lbs at 21 weeks He looks to be at a healthy weight with a defined waist and can just feel his ribs.
Hi @MillysMom thank you for sharing! It's comforting to know that this is not abnormal. The first night after feeding 3 times was good but last...
Thank you everyone! I fed Max 3 times yesterday, last meal at 8:30pm and he only woke once and it wasn't until almost 5am. So much better than 3...
First off, thank you all for the kind words and support. My husband and I had a long tough conversation last night (I'm over on the west coast of...
Max has been in a 6 week group puppy class. We've gotten a little out of it, but to be honest I feel confused on several of the concepts. I am...
I've tried sleeping next to his crate since this happened and he seems to get more agitated. I'm going to try spreading his food out starting...
I've tried a heavy blanket and something made for the crate. Max was a ruthless ninja in another life. Lol!! He can get anything through the crate. :)
Thank you. Okay, I will try that. We had followed what the breeder was doing. She was only doing 2 meals at 10 weeks.
Typically it's pretty calm and quiet starting at 8 - 9pm and he either chews quietly on toys or is sleeping already. I divide his meals in two, so...
I'm at a loss. Max is 4 and a half months. For a good week he was sleeping through the night from 10pm until 4:45/5:30am. Prior to that he woke up...
Thank you @snowbunny! That is super helpful. I will start working on that. You mentioned teaching no and off. Can you point to somewhere where I...
Max is now 4 and a half months. I thought his biting was a thing of the past because he really hadn't been doing it at home but he went for a bath...
Hi all! Max is now a little over 4 months. A couple weeks ago I discussed some digestive issues with his breeder, diarrhea and frequent stools....
