Well I think I spoke to soon as he has now gone back to letting it hit him on the nose. Do I need to throw it higher or is there a trick I am missing??

This may be a silly question but when do you class a puppy as fully grown?? Mainly I am interested in height and just wondering how much longer I should expect my pup to grow or if he is about finished (10 months old). Thanks

Couldn't have said it better ILoveFlatCoats. This poor little dog. I really hope he finds a nice new loving home and soon

Wow this technique works wonders. Lear used to let the food hit him in the face but now he is catching everything. Now on the speaking (hmmmm) not going so well as he is not very vocal. These trick pages are great as I had taught him all I knew and was wondering where to go from here. Thanks CDT

I don't mean to thread hijack Redii but does anyone know of a stockist of the Energy any where near Bathurst?? I would be interested to see if my pup does better on this as he doesn't really like dry food at the best of times.

Sorry just noticed Stacey B has already suggested Clark rubber but the thing I meant is a plastic sort of mat rather than foam

Have you tried Clark rubber? They have a sort of mat thing here which you could cover in blankets and it would be soft and is supossidly dog chew proof. I don't know if they have an online store though.

This is a trick I have been trting to teach Lear for 2 weeks now. I think I have been going about it all wrong so once we master the catch I think this will come next. Updates as we go

CTD this trick sounds great. I will be trying it with my pup tomorrow and see if he can do it. At the moment if you toss a treat to him he will let it hit him anywhere on head and wait til it is on the floor to get it so Hopefully this will work. I will let you know hwo he goes.

I went into my IGA today and they don't stock the Ecopets one but they are happy to order it in and are looking into where to get it from. Thanks for all the info.

Thanks for all the responses. I will check out my IGA tomorrow and see if they stock it although I am in NSW. He is happily eating VIP at the moment but if I can get a better one that would be great.

I am sure this has already been asked but is there a good dog food roll on the market (something like the VIP ones). I wanted to start buying these as the BARF is taking too much time now I am on internship. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I found a largeish tyre squeaky toy in Big W for under $7 that my pup adores. IGA sells them too for $6.98 they are made by pet life. It is his favorite and he has not yet made a mark in it and has had it for about 8 weeks. He chews it every day and night and hasn't got a bit off it yet. It is quite big for him but would be great for your 2. It was in the pet section . I also got a great selection of squeaky toys reduced at woolworths for only $3 each and he hasn't managed to destory these yet either. I wouldn't suggest junk shop toys either as my boy rips them up in 5 mins too :cool: Big W is the best for me though (no I don't work there ) as I have found them cheap and good.

My local pet supply place sells kennel mince which is a mix of chicken, lamb and beef (sometimes has roo in it too). It is 2.5kg for $5.00. My pup loves this in his barf

I tried the coconut too and must say I had the same response UNTILL my son cracked it open a bit and the milk started coming out. Now he loves it and keeps trying to get more milk out. ANE Where did you find the hard toys that are still going???
