sarcastic? No. Once you master the basics .. these things are great :)

Just cut food back by 1/3 . for the dogs :) do lots of very short trick.training sessions ... get their recall every time .. practice lying on your bed/mat/chair .... practice "pick up toys" /retrieve .... practice walk alongside me s l o w l y ... do your training in a whisper - so they pay more attention to you . All this increases their concentration - therefore can make them tired ;) ( think of you at work/kids at school - all that brain fag settles you down )

Thanks, KC - found THIS LINK :)

teach him to help aroundteh house? Pick up things for you ..put toys in box ..find lost sox ..carry mail .... :)

That was their joint decision :) Groom & groomsmen wore matching nice white shirts, shorts & thongs ( it was written on invites that things were mandatory ) For these two - it was perfect - this is how they are ....

Finally I got to get around to looking at these - the elephant one is my favourite .. and I do like the way your big cats are always 'doing' things :)

:) puppies certainly have teeth ..and they are there for a reason - to chew food ! It also makes mealtime more than a 2 minute scoff ;)

i don't think he needs calcium at all - esp as he's getting raw mice :P :p Seriously - he should not need it - also - I would advise swapping chicken necks for semi frozen - or frozen whole wings - less of a chance they will be swallowed whole and pose a choking risk :) and we need photos!! What advice did the breeder send him home with regarding feed & supplements?

and leaves sweat from pads behind- more scent marking :)

Shadrack ..... you sound as if your dogs needs a bit of tough love - they have plenty of affection and snuggles and care ..and now need to learn that all this wonderfulness comes with a cost! Dogs ARE like human kids - house rules /chores/table manners/playing gently .... all that stuff is vital to learn :) IF you can the housemate on board, and IF you are willing to work at it .. Nothing In Life Is Free should help . This involves still using treats/cuddles etc BUT the dogs ONLY get attention when their behaviour is what you want . Dogs learn this really fast , actually - because they LOOOVE their attention/treats - however it will take some time for everyone(esp humans) to learn the new routine ;) CLICK HERE to have a read . :) You are fortunate in having several DOL members living around melbourne who are professionals working with dogs , and who are wonderful to have at your side when learning to manage problems :) I know there are more - apologies to those I've missed cosmolo nekhbet erny

:) I think i am in love with Mishka's cute face !!

it's really easy to cut back :) use low/no fat cheese ..and hold off on jerky, etc. Try him with slivers of dry fried sweet potato , or dried apple rounds cut into little bits :) With all th eyummies he's getting ..and a nice variety - I would suggest also reducing his dry food intake by 1/3 :) That way th e lack of exercise is catered for :)

no - not my dog - I swear!!

j..yes- try it!! (and edit with iPhone apps ;) ) here are some of mine :)

well done :) Happy practicing!
