Welcome to the forum. What's the pup name? We adopted our lab mix Johnny from the local SPCA at the same age and he was pretty much afraid of...
So glad to see treatment is going well so far. Sending good thoughts and please keep us updated. I'm sure he's delighted to be rid of the cone :)
Welcome to the forum :) First off, if any of the professional trainers or experienced members respond to you, take their suggestions. Mom is...
Can you find out how this is structured? For example our puppy classes ended with playtime where the trainer had pairs of puppies play together...
Hi Holli, Where are you located? If Michael can help you identify the issue(s), and if it turns out your pup is reactive on leash, you could try...
Just to pass on what my community vet told me when discussing worst case scenarios for my cat. He's had several dogs take chemo and for *those...

You're taking wonderful care of your dog. Unfortunately the "papers are in the mail" breeders gamble with their puppies' welfare because not...

Congratulations! I dunno about the cat part ... my lab mix does a lot of rubbing and leaning on my legs. I'm not a vet or a breeder. Johnny is...
Hi Sandy, Sadly you're experienced. Been there done that with phenobarb. Yuck. I'm not a physician or a vet but I work in regulated research. It's...
Stuffed toys are disposable here too. Johnny likes the Kong Tuffies so we usually have at least one lambie and moose in various stages of...
Hi Sandy, I'm sorry your girl is having these problems, and at such a young age too. She's lucky to have a concerned intelligent human :) Is...
