Labrador Barking For Food
persephone replied to Just love my dogs!'s topic in General Dog Discussion
Some more questions... just so we know a bit more about you and your dog/s Is the lab desexed? When you say 'long walks' ..how long? 1 hour? 30 minutes? is this every day, or twice a day? or once a week? What obedience training do you do at home? Do you go to any dog training clubs? I bet he does love the water! They look terrific when they are playing around and getting wet What do they do when indoors- you say they trash the house- do they chew/run/toilet? .... perhaps we can help you with some ideas to settle them down ...then with a new feeding regime- and indoors, barking should not be an issue -
What reward does he get for sleeping in the new spot? you have now trained him to sleep with you. He gets warmth, scent, tactile comfort, and companionship. He loses all this to sleep on the new bed.

the cat probably won't enjoy it up their nose either

Please Help Us Settle A Little Disagreement
persephone replied to mrs tornsocks's topic in General Dog Discussion
I wouldn't worry about a coat - it's just one more thing to chew/get hooked up.Make sure he has a good windproof cover on his crate.. a solid floor to stop drafts , and also be aware that he may well take to barking at things thru the night after he's been out there for a while -
What Dood Is Best For My Labrador
persephone replied to Jodielass's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
jodielass- your food question has almost been answered in your older thread.. HERE when do we get to see a photo of your girl? -
What is she doing that you notice she is awake? ( I am presuming she is left outside at night?) Does she bark, or scratch at the door, or what? She may be cold- she may be coming in season ,and be feeling restless, there may be a new cat/possum about....or she may not be getting enough physical/mental exercise to make her sleep longer.... that's the simple things I can come up with

Tired Spaniel Refuses To Eat?
persephone replied to alexandrite's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
If the food looks undigested and it's been some hours since he ate it- a vet visit is definitely a wise move. he sounds most uncomfortable. Is there a chance he has eaten any foreign body- plastic bag/toy/ stick? Hope all goes well at the vets, and it is just an upset tummy . -

She's pretty She looks quite large in those pics- I thought beagles were smallish? Dunno- she's lovely.anyhow! -
friends had one who did this very thing...only a couple of times when it was useful ... she would bark other times.

Dogs will learn to cock a leg..it is most often done when with other dogs or in a new place. My kieran used to squat at home by himself.. and lift his leg at other times it is an instinctual thing.. and you cannot now make him squat . What you CAN do is train him to toilet on command.... a word or phrase, keep him on leash when somewhere which triggers his peeing, and make sure he toilets a couple of times before walks/visits etc. Are the females speyed? Could there be a bitch in season somewhere?

We have bitches- and they CAN suddenly become enemies WE have 2 housedogs who now cannot be trusted together- makes for a lot of shuffling~

Most of the calendars etc I buy for family use are uploaded and stored as PRIVATE ..no one ever sees them :D.As RB IS primarily an open marketplace for the visual arts, if you have your work available for public sale- try and only put up your best quality However, if you purely want to use the manufacturing/buyback feature- just do everything private

Our dogs usually come running when they hear a tablet bottle rattle( or If I go to the section in the fridge where their medications are kept) cos they get a treat after they have their tablets!

They are the BEST :D

Furballs- hi What does your dog's routine go like for a normal day? What breed is she? have you had her since a pup?

Poor dog- next time he 'escapes' it may well be a car ..and his last freedom
