  1. Sounds like a young ,bored dog ;) What does she have to DO ..to think about, to exercise her brain, and to chew ? What is her normal routine?
  2. yes, dogs do sweat thru the pads.... your boxer may just be feeling a bit warm..
  3. You are very right! Many DOLers are also keen photographers , and that's why I suggested you try to sell it on here
  4. if there is a decent fence...and no contact, he may not even notice
  5. helen...always try D O L first ............ that's a very special website ;)
  6. Oh.. seems like she may be just too hot .Hopefully she perks up when teh sun goes down
  7. Can you get someone to help you take her temperature /check her out?

  10. Honestly, if one went by some of those lists .. no one would have any green in their yards - except painted concrete use a flash, maybe, and post some pics of the suspect plants then go along and cut off the bits poking thru your fence ....
  11. Hi - what experiences has she had with dogs up til now? What other dogs has she seen whilst on lead, and how did she react?
  12. Hi.. Oh.. Ok. I was going to suggest you have your older dog thoroughly health checked... a dog that loses its playfulness could be unwell.. rather than bored. Digging holes..especially if he lies in them could mean he is trying to get cool.... A bored dog , IMO would be more likely to want to play lots..be racing around, chewing, jumping.... finding things to do... I feel you have done the impulse buy thing for the wrong reason ... Buying a puppy for another dog when you are not sure if that's what he needs . Your dog may be much happier/content /interested if his favourite human spent 20 min each day doing tricks etc with him ;)
  13. oh hoping she does OK tonight... thoughts sent.
  14. It's good that you are looking at things which may work Hopefully, with a decent trainer, and some personal help in understanding what is happening, and why .. you will not need much more than a flat or a chain collar, and some toned and timed response times, coupled with a good reward system Hope you find someone who can help .
  15. Some do ... some which are not walked often enough on hard surfaces don't. Dogs with pale pads sometimes feel the heat on pads more , if our working dogs are anything to go by . When training GD's years ago, we never walked, or encouraged owners to work, on hot asphalt . Concrete is much 'cooler' ..asphalt can be extremely uncomfortable .
  16. ohhhh :) he looks beautiful with his fluffy coat!!! Hope it grows quickly!!
  17. Please consult a professional, and get help with this one ..it would be awful if a mistake was made and something worse happened . Any aggression /fear at this level is best assessed by a good trainer/behaviourist.
  18. ridiculous... but if done to be funny, then it;s funny
  19. R I P gorgeous girl .. for flaves
