				Can Anyone Recommend Some Good Videos Or Books
laffi replied to jesomil's topic in Training / Obedience / Dog Sports
I think it's http://www.leerburg.com/ (without the au) :D - 
	I agree that rewarding the dog and taking brakes to play/cuddle them is very very important. My dogs love to work when they know they will get a treat!
 - 
	I have to say at the beginning I thought obedience is boring (compared to agility or tricks). But now I think about it as a set of tricks joined together and am having much more fun. Perhaps it's very overwhelming when you go to obedience school and they teach/train to do all these things at once, and dogs don't do most of them properly. I think that once you decompose it all and treat it as a lot of different exercises together is much more interesting.

				What Is The Average Weight For An 8 Month Old Lab?
laffi replied to Kylie and the black Lab's topic in Puppy Chat
Sorry I can't help But I would also like to ask the DOLers how much excercice should a young dog (6-8 mo) of a large breed (like lab or goldie) get? I was told not to walk them for too long because it's bad for their joints - 
	This is a really good advice Akitaowner.
 - 
	Me too - I couldn't live with myself if just coz I missed the worming (ie: did them every 12mths etc) that my dead dog was my fault Both of my dogs are on Sentinel Spectrum as well. Better safe than sorry.
 -

Yep, my vet and bayer rep say you can use Advocate and Advantix concurrently just like Mel said. Georgie-boy why do you say you can't? -

	How did it go?

	the males do tend to have 'bulkier' heads. Although it is assentuated in my pair as Kinta's head takes after her sire's side of the family - which tend to be a lot sharper. I'm not a real fan of her head myself coz I love the boofheads . Leo's head is beautiful IMO, although his muzzle is a little shorter than what it should be Oh I also noticed something else. Leo's ears on all the pics are pretty low in a submissive/respectful way but Kinta's are high (in a more attentive/interested way). I realized that Midge used to be like Kinta at the beginning but now it more like Leo. Does it change with age? Different lines again- and just different ear sets . Leo's just naturally sit a little lower - both are technically correct. Aussies ears should be semi-erect but the length of ear can't reach past the tip of the eye... so - that means if you grab midge's ear and pull it toward the centre of her eyes, it shouldn't reach past there http://www.shalakoaussies.com/BreedStandard_Ears.html This is a good website too I will be doing some ears pulling tonight Thanks for a great website

 - 
	Kinta and Leo have very different heads. His is much more "bulky". Is it a trait of male aussies?
 - 
	Call them again. Can't hurt.
 - 
	Have you changed anything in his diet? He looks amazing
