Good luck on the walk!

Unfortunately not too much advice on this. I am currently using signs to my dog as she has become deaf but not from birth, she was taught signs with words so made it easier. I have found that to get her attention we have to touch in some way. for example a hand placed on her head to look up...

Hi guys I posted this reply to someone else: For the first couple of nights we slept on the sofa with pup, then after that we left in her bed in the kitchen with an old t-shirt to snuggle with which we had worn to bed for a couple of days so it smelt of us. We only went down once a night to let...

In my experience only used a crate when travelling in the car. I personally don't like dogs in the bedroom so we set up an area in the kitchen all her own with a comfy bed and toys, that way no problem if any accidents as lino floor. For the first couple of nights we slept on the sofa with pup...

If you decide to change food (whatever you choose) do it gradually over a few days, pups can be extra sensitive to change. Also give it time, you may have similar symptoms but it will take time for anything not so good to leave the system.

Natural Dog Food company dry food. We also add veg/fruit and cooked chicken. Old dog with few teetch so can't get on with bones anymore but the sometimes enjoys a carrot to chew on.

There are no fillers in their food, you should read the ingredients and lit before you slate like that. And as for grains that's your opinion. Wheat is bad for dogs but I don't beileve all grains are, they use whole brown rice, oats and barley which are good. Also I find it interesting how...

Don't be put off they are great dogs. Excuseme is right, they can be hard work, but totally worth it. All puppies can be a pains at the beginning but you shouldn't give up on them. Once you can get her outside for walks I'm sure you will see an improvement. Also look at some kind of puppy...

I'm sorry no experience, just wanted to say good luck with everything. I have an older dog going blind and it is frustrating, I would think that it is a positive that he is losing it gradually and at a younger age as he will be able to adapt quicker and quick to learn new skills. Perhaps use a...

Hello McSmurphy! Not been on here long but it's interesting reading other people's experiences and views on things. Hope you find it useful! Is it your first dog?

I have a 15 1/5yr old lab. She is not vocal at all, she only ever barks once at the back door when she want's to come back inside if the door has shut behind her. She went deaf over a year ago and this year has begun to lose her sight. She comes to work with me and like to lay on the grass...

Any compnay not just ones that use grains will say they are the best, they clearly don't beleive in the product if they don't haha. I don't believe all grains are bad. A dog in the wild would eat the stomach contents of prey first to take in the nutrients of what the prey has eaten. I would...

I feed Natural Dog Food Company, 100% natural dry food not even added artifical vitamns or minerals. It also goes great with raw food additions and as my dog is old and on medication for her heart it is great as it won't react with anything. I would personally look for no wheat/maize/dairy as...

Don't forget pups are sensitive to over feeding so make sure you are reading the guides from whichever food brand you use.

Hello MrsSwan, it could be a few things but maybe diet related? Usually the skin is affected most by diet issues as it is the largest organ. Perhaps you could gradually change onto a more natural diet? there are plenty to choose from and everyone will have their own opinion, but I feed Natural...

It's a tough one and although I agree with Golden Bear, separation shouldn't be the answer for long. Perhaps once training is sufficient you can go back to them being around each other. Walking together is especially good for creating a bond, it must be a good pace with them focused on the...

I agree with eingana, if it changes at all then a vet check might be useful but otherwise shouldn't worry too much.

virgil, sound like you have everything under control! Glad things are working out. The old fella will let you know when he can't keep going but as long as he is in relatively good health and not struggling then keep going. Give him lots of attention (when he wants it). Puppy classes are a...

Most cats will tell the dog it's place however is yours are more passive maybe provide escape routes for them so they won't be cornered or trapped. If they like climbing or being higher up for example, something like a cat tree will provide a great escape and somewhere to relax. We did this for...
