I am debating whether to change Caspar's food to one that has a higher ratio of protein to carbohydrate. Is there a general guideline as to what...
Honestly, I'd put in her kitchen crate and buy earplugs. As said above, she can get to you, so she does. It ay get worse when the mornings are...
I use dried sprats or something called Sea Jerky from Fish 4 Dogs.
I do put him in his crate for the post walk morning nap, otherwise he just wanders about not knowing what to do with himself, as his preferred...
We are following the 5 min rule (roughly) but having 2 walks a day, plus playing. At 16 weeks Caspar has breakfast, snooze for about 1 hour,...
Agree with Snowbunny. A relative used this method with his Goldie, and had to abandon it when it was just being used to get a "good girl" treat....
Caspar doesn't seem to like the water much either but that may be because here it is pretty cold. Our last Lab was a fantastic swimmer but he...
We don't withhold water for our pup either. I did have to pick up the bowl after drinks for a while as Caspar would pick up the bowl and play with...
I thought our last Lab was the greediest beast on the planet, yet he never stole food. I don't think we will be so lucky this time round. Pup less...
Caspar 16 weeks and 12.7kg. Trying to keep him on the slim side, but may need to increase his food a bit.
My last one was scared of vacuum (and mower) and would just take himself off to bed. Current one tries to ride on vacuum, not mowed yet. I am more...
My 16 week old snores sometimes, too, and when he breathes in through his nose he snorts. I wonder whether he has an extra skin flap in there or...
It is really difficult for anyone to give advice on feeding without being familiar with the specific brand that you use. Also, food is not the...
Yep, Caspar too. As the world revolves around him it is only logical that he should show off as much as possible to any visitors. I'm not sure how...
Yep, second this. Caspar loves a plastic bottle, but I have to intervene as soon as he gets the top off and in his mouth. Then he starts on the...
I have had to increase my pup's food as he was borderline underweight - all because I worry so much about letting him get too heavy and this...
Thanks for sharing that. Without buying the book (which I do not plan to do) it is not possible to see what age neutering is recommended. What age...
It is hard not to get obsessed with their weight. It is much easier to increase their food than to start deducting from the amount that they have...
I have been trying to stick to the 5 min rule, but harder to train my husband in this! They are out a suspiciously long time when I am not with...
I have to say that after the age of about 5 our neutered male did react with warning growls to any entire male that came to sniff him. He was the...
