Hi, Any one any ideas on fun games/mind games for dogs.  The only 'game' my dog will play is hunt for the treat.  He will not chase anything, catch a ball, play 'fetch', 'tug' or anything else I can think of and all tried in a praising and fun way.  Around 5pm every day he starts to 'squeak' or...

Thank you to gypsysmum2 and to excuseme for replying and for the advice. I have taken my little chubbster to the vets today. He has had a blood test to check for any hidden problems and I have asked that he be put on a STRICT diet with specialist food. I am hoping that if he can shed some...

Help! My 4 year old yorkie is putting on pounds. We measure out his daily quota according to the recommended amount for the weight he SHOULD be and divide it into two or three small meals daily. His feed is grain free. Our biggest problem is that he does not seem to like going for walks, or...
