"His master's Voice" :)

well done! :)

Glad she is feeling a bit better now :)

catbrit - yes .. I also suggest a specialist vet if you have not done so.

Thank you all - :) I tried to just catch 'the' look :)

Kirislin - That's what I thought, too :)

:)

What a sensible question :) training, training, training ... good communication between both of you is the key to it all . If , as a youngster, he looks to you for everything wonderful ...and knows his lessons - that's a perfet start . you may have read this already - but will post it again :) Socialising your pup

this has not been edited to enhance shape or anything ....

You've both done good!! :)

oh damn . I am sorry. You & Amber have been working so hard with such good results :) Fingers crossed, hugz and healing thoughts.

Your girls looks beautiful :) I am SO sorry about Carny . losing a best friend horse is one of the hardest things .I will be thinking of you ..and imagining him, freed from this tired old body - kicking up his heels as he heads for the slushie bucket over the rainbow bridge ;)

oh - I hadn't seen it . I think Stan Greyhound should wear one ;)

and yes, they are real > anyone speak Russian? LINK HERE I really would like one of these things ;)

oh - re reading .. there is excitement ..and there is ANXIETY ... I am perhaps leaning the anxiety rote now ... Ok - I have found something for you to read ..from HERE, an article by behaviourist /trainer , Mark Singer . an excerpt :

A natural remedy ? yep . Training to be calm ...giving that little busy brain LOTS of stuff to learn ..and teaching appropriate behaviour around people. tell me - if you had a 3 yr old child who ran up to visitors, climbed on their laps , and interrupted every conversation - would you be using a supplement/medication, or would you be teaching how to behave when the visitors are there ? ;) It's not a great leap from that scenario, to a terrier ...really .....

pup is acting like a BRAT, not a boss ;)

How's she going now ?

Cha- I agree! he sounds a bit like a pushy teenager ;)

please do NOT stop the grumbles - that is a warning ..and if the pup does NOT listen - next may be a snap . IF there is NO grumble - and just a snap/bite ... because the lab feels insecure now his owner won't let him warn the pup ..he could do damage to try & rein the youngster in . I would be teaching the youngster to sleep in a crate/pen to give the old boy some well deserved peace & quiet . In our porch at present are 4 dogs - all in their OWN beds .. rarely do any of ours share a bed past puppyhood.

Sorry - you must have the wrong puppy identified - THAT face can do no wrong!! ;)

I shouldn't ...but ... LOL What a mix!!!! :) Ok ... perhaps make him a dig pit - full of sand /clean straw /kongs/ big bones /nylabones and deer antlers? That is HIS spot to play . It needs to be big enough for him to stand in & dig in several places ..perhaps 1.5 metre X 2 metres? And deep enough to get a decent dig ;) I would not bother with weedmat just yet ..Imagination is painting images of a very satisfied puppy after pulling it all up/out, and dragging it 'round the yard

:)

It isn't the controversy which is a concern - D O L thrives on controversy ;) Sometimes these situations have legal ramifications to them ..and telling stories in public is often very unwise I wish you and pup all the best - pls give us an update ? :)
