    Barking and Biting on walks

    Sonny’s recall is okay. Still needs a lot of practicing as he doesn’t come to heel or come back when called every single time. (He’s not even 4 months old so I’m not down about it.) HOWEVER, what’s getting me down is when we are out walking, he will have a personality switch and just start...

    Sonny's Behaviour

    @JudyN @JoanneF I didn't get a corrector spray in the end. We'll stick with putting him in another room or leaving the room when he barks and bites excessively. I just want a quick fix to stop the biting as it's not good! We have stopped crating him for time outs as you are right, he doesn't...

    Sonny's Behaviour

    Thank you for the advice. Much appreciated. I can’t cope with the pulling so will have to do some more research with it. I used to dog walk a lot of spaniels and they weren’t pulley at all so it’s doable, I just have to find the right technique. Lol. Play pen being picked up today to give him...

    Sonny's Behaviour

    Hi @JudyN I have taken your advice and set up a camera last night. Totally addicted to watching it now! it records sound and movement. Sleeps like a baby angel through the night. At least we’ve got one thing ticked off. (I knew he did anyway but the camera reassured me!) I am picking up a...

    Worming!

    I meant before hand when he did have them he had a pot belly so I knew he had them. This time he has had no symptoms.

    Worming!

    It’s weird because he’s not shown any symptoms of worms. Before hand, he had a pot belly. But his poos have been fine, no symptoms at all. I don’t know what they use. May give them a call tomorrow. The breeder definitely wormed them though.

    Worming!

    Hmm. The worming is done at the vets! So it should be effective? He is now 13 weeks old so will be being wormed once a month from now on anyway. The vet didn’t say anything about being wormed every 2 weeks when he was younger either so not sure on that one!

    Worming!

    Hi! Question about worms. Sonny was wormed when we picked him and was pooing out dead ones for a week or so. He got wormed again yesterday, 4 weeks after the last dose, and more worms came out this morning. Does the mean he has had worms for the last 4 weeks and they have been alive? Or does...

    Barking and biting during play

    Hey Guys. Few random questions here. Sonny is 12 weeks old now. Recently he’s been barking at me a lot and snapping his jaws while playing on the floor with toys. I don’t even have any in my hands and he just gets in the pounce position and barks and snaps. Is this aggressive or is he telling...

    Hi Guys, Sonny is now ten weeks old! He has settled in so well, loves his crate and sleeps like a dream! Completely toilet trained after a week and a happy puppy all in all! ❤️ HOWEVER... he is non stop scratching. I spoke to the others that had the rest of the litter and one said she had...

    Vaccinations

    Hi All, I have decided not to get any vaccinations until he’s 9.5 weeks old and home with us for a few days so he’s settled before a vet trip. Thanks for your answers! Got another question about food which I’ll post in another thread. :)

    Vaccinations

    Hi Guys, Got another long question. I am getting Sonny's first jab tomorrow (he is 6-7 weeks). Once he has had it, he is going back with his litter for 2 weeks until we pick him up on the 4th Sept for his second jab and bring him home that day. The vet said he will be fine to go back with his...
