LOL someone should photograph YOU photographing spidees

we had a misty shower this morning , and I managed to sneak up on this FM.. LOVE the wasp face 'Wotchyou talking'bout, Willis" ?

FM- I love the second one

Practice, practice, practice, practice EVERY day ..on leash ,and at home .many times. I wpuld also be using a light plastic BASKET muzzle .. like the one HERE You are wise- worrying about him eating something dangerous ... and if he is so keen, I would be muzzling him .. or always walking on a long lead ...

Nice pics .. pups are gorgeous little grubbies ! poor mum looks a bit long for the bed in the last pic :D

Bicarb in a generous amount, followed by a good slosh of vinegar is a wonderful spa for kitchen sink drains

I read that in 'THE' book, as well- haven't tried it tho .

Those photos are a bit squished try & keep them something like 800X600 or 600X400 then the proportions are correct .

On hard floors, use the 'squeegee' side excellent for sand!!

I hope it goes well . as long as his crate is secure, and he has a leash/tether which he can't chew thru he should stay safe just don't forget he might enjoy it, but other folks/dogs may not be as friendly ! Not something I would do

depends what you want to do - and how much you can afford . I use lightroom a lot .. it is where changes are made to fix exposure issues/sharpening/colour etc... in my photos. lightroom I do have photoshop (came on a laptop from a friend ;) ) but rarely use it - it confuses me It is handy for the times I want to try fancy stuff ..like creating different scenes ,etc. I tend to use a free program to quickly do bits & pieces .. THIS ONE

Sad news for you

Someone told me the easier/quicker way ..with cursor on pic- 'click' the scroll wheel ..and it will automatically open in a new tab - or new window if you don't do tabbed browsing (and why wouldn't you ? :D )

Thanks for the update! ;) :D

:D

jadesamara..yep :D He was such a cute pup ... shame they have to grow up..but it's just amazing how similar he & his brother are ...

Hamlet ... father , Fred, but mum was a cocker spaniel ... there wasn't a lot of difference as pups , and even now there's not heaps. I must get a pic of the two of 'em.. Hamlet thinks Leo is just the most wonderful dog ..he's always all over him :D and his 1/2 brother, Leo , Father, Fred

Ok - I strongly suggest you get a professional to visit and discuss things ASAP It's a stressful , and potentially dangerous situation for everyone -neighbours, you, and hector.

Much & all as he dislikes it.. a run is your only option I think. provide lots of things like iceblocks, cardboard cartons to rip , chewy things ..and make sure he is tired from an intense training session beforehand ! What if he does front up at their house, and they are scared to come outside, or ,worse, confront him and he reacts? There will be all sorts of legalities and problems You could also try getting help from a professional .... rehoming may be an option if, in all other respects he is a good and settled dog - otherwise , it is not responsible to rehome a problem Sorry you are having this trouble...

Dogs are vocal .. they bark.whine/growl/howl. unfortunately in the close confines of suburbia .. these natural behaviours are frowned upon:( I love watching pups play and bark .. but I don't live in town. Barking at people/other dogs ...hmmm there may be all sorts of reasons WHY - and if you want the behaviour to change/stop, then first you must know WHY pup is doing it. If you correct a pup who is fearful, for example..or if you comfort a pup who is fearful , things may get worse Same as if you pat a dog who is being aggressive .... To have some idea WHY, you need to have an understanding of how dogs relate to their world, how they communicate, and what their body language says Dogs do NOT see things/people/dogs like we do ...dogs can pick up on scents, on tiny tiny body language cues we miss, on sounds we cannot hear ...and on shapes/postures which may be odd. to start your research have a read of these links LINK LINK LINK It takes time, but do lots of reading, posting ,like you are ,and you will learn quite quickly what your pup is telling you!

*nods*

Fuzzy, you are certain of this? I have seen pups of that age disembowel one of their littermates ..and no, they were not playing! Also ,puppies several weeks old can be , and should be taught that teeth do NOT ever touch human skin!

Normal puppy checks will not find problems with hormone levels. or in the brain, or other internal things ..possibly wouldn't even find the source of any chronic pain ....

Honestly, as this pup is now big enough and mature enough to escalate behaviours .. a professional to work with the owner is their only sensible option. No more 'home fixes', alpha rolls or trainers of dubious reputations.. ask on here for a recommendation, giving the city/area where the owner lives ..and get it SORTED!

..and where did your friend buy this pup?
