Ha, ha, ha ..she has trained you already!! She HAS to learn that things like roast chicken are for a BIG reward ..and it seems she has trained you to feed her this for just breathing ;) of course she'll eat "mcdonalds" instead of 'broccoli' - but she NEEDS to eat her "broccoli" The breeder should have provided you with feeding information Just follow that ..and then gradually introduce her to a brand of puppy food which suits you . Chicken necks are fine ..just remember to use LARGE ones ..or feed them frozen . Pups can choke on a whole chicken neck , cos they're about the same shape as a dog's throat .. and can get stuck if swallowed fast All that said - did the vet give her the 'all clear' at her "Hi - I'm this family's new puppy - just need everything checked please" visit ? if so ..and she is up-to date with vaccs & worming ..then be a bit tough , and stop HER running the kitchen ;)

Dog keeps taking things off tables

Agreed! That seems extreme !! -
You won't need to add any veges . there will be enough in the patties - they are made as a complete meal, after all ..and dogs are predominantely meat eaters ;) I am reeling from that butcher pricing!! The other day I bought 2 bags ( plastic shopping bags ) absolutely full of lamb offcuts ..mainly 1/2 necks, and lots of lovely flap squares ..plus quite a few pelvis/hip bones ! In each bag were about 7 meals for a koolie type dog . 2 bags = $10.00 :D

This advice is well worth repeating She is a new puppy ..she needs to feel secure , and that her meal time is hers

Oh my - she does have an irresistible face ! I am in love LOL. Have watched this video multiple times ..it just makes me smile

Hi - where did your dog come from ? it may be she has learned to gulp food before it's all gone , or before someone else takes it! Feed her seperately ..do NOT let her watch you preparing food ...use a special bowl ...and try feeding her large turkey necks, or 1/;2 chickens- frozen . She can't gulp those ;)

And there you have it . Maybe some new habits need to be learned by everyone Alarming a youngster with lots of clattering things may indeed cause repercussions . -
I dare say their brain would be a tad overloaded at present .... lots happening

@chrlsrand That is an awful situation . taking a puppy is a generous offer - BUT raising a teeny singleton is not easy when done properly . I have worked with dogs most of my life ..and dealt with tiny pups ..like many of the good DOL members here have . At present having a 3 wk old would be too much for me ..I need my sleep , and am no good anymore with routine. The work is constant , like a newborn human baby , plus it will need absolute isolation to protect against viral infections and children will not be allowed to play with it - it's too small . A puppy needs so much more than food ... and this time in a puppy's life is where it learns to speak DOG, to act DOG , and habits to last a lifetime. being with mum, and/or littermates provides mental and physical stimulation essential to becoming a dog of decent temperament . Rural Pug has made a wonderful offer!! I do hope it can be acted upon - it will take a huge load of everyone's shoulders.

There has to be an explanation for this .... a very short time ago , you didn't think your family could cope with a pup/dog . you were doing your homework , and had a lot to learn , you said ... I am still hoping the numbers are wrong and that you will post that really, you have an 8 week old puppy , all healthy, vaccinated and chipped You have children , right? What did you do with them as teeny babies on car trips etc ? Pups are not much different. They need to be contained in a carrier/crate .

or some squished sardine ?
-
Mix with vegemite , or honey ? How many mls per dose?
-
ermmm..just WHY are you collecting a 3 week old puppy ? Did the mother die or something? Throwing up in the car is the least of your worries , I would think ....
