Awesome much appreciated guys, I'll go check em out this arvo.

Hello, I have tried the search function of this forum and have been keeping an eye out for dog parks around my living area (Macgregor), so far fail to see such a park around.... Does anyone know of a good dog parks around or close to macgregor southside brisbane? Cheers, Yots.

I'd offer to take one off your hands if you like to offload them

Hrmm.. a slight offside question.. anyone have experience with racq's pet insurance?

I have this problem... the only way I found effective is to have a plastic bag handy most of the time.. as soon as the dog does his poo go and pick it up immediately or when I see one pile on the ground I'd pick it up as soon as possible. Everytime my dog does it I would ignore him for a while too and do my thing. He has stopped eating his poo for a while now or he has eaten it very quick.. either way I haven't seen him done it. I have tried pineapple and pineapple juice neither made any difference.

Me Milo was doing this for a few days. He would bark at one corner of the yard when I in the yard.. I originally thought he was barking at my shadow (bbq light behind me) but later saw and found out that there was a small blue tongue lizard there and once the lil lizard moved on Milo stopped barking.

Hey guys, I took yesterday day off spend half the day cling wrapping fish tanks (bought a roll of the heavy duty stuff from bunnings), used a protector smoke thingi and a 3 flea bombs.. All me fishies are all good, short of having half the house ash smelling from the protector smoke bomb.. all went ok so far... wish I had the time to check this post yesterday but she who I must obey has had 2 sleepless nights.. one more and I would be spending time with Milo outside.... If the current situation doesnt improve, I'll check out home remedies and try some of the suggestions there too thanks. Will also look at the derris dust too. Cheers Yots.

Pet City at macgregor I have been to Southside Dog Obedience twice now, they are breaking over Xmas break atm... The people there are really friendly, me lab is a really excited doggy. When I first get there he would chase after anything that moves.. people or dog. After the first lesson, he has settled down alot more, the lessons are short (relatively since time flies when its fun) and everyone there is really friendly. Didnt think Pet City at Macgregor does classes (maybe I'm blind?), sure you are not referring to the one at Mt Gravatt showgrounds ?

Hey guys, Got an issue with fleas atm, they have appeared in our carpet lounge area and also in our hardwood surface in our bed room. I have spray surface spray to kill them in the lounge area, however not sure what to do with our bed room. The dog is an outside dog and sleeps in the shed so I'm thinking I should treat the shed too just incase.. Dog is on advantix monthly so he should be good, I just wanted to make sure his sleeping area is clear too. So far the only product I have found on the web is the mortine flea bomb that has IGR, since I have quite a few fish tanks in the house.. I cannot use it, so need some advice on it.... I am thinking of using the mortine flea bomb in the shed when my dog is not in there too. Is this going to be issues? so the questions are.. what can I do/use inside the house that will treat fleas but won't kill my fishies and wether using a mortine flea bomb in the shed is ok for my dog afterwards.. Cheers, yots.

Physical, I take him out for a walk in the morning and in the evening. They are at least 25 to 30minutes and its more of a casual walk than jogging tho I have just started to go a lil bit longer in distance since yesterday. Mental, I have just started doing some mental activities just after the walk as I am trying to teach him a few things. "Leave it" one thing I am trying to get consistent with atm. I still get him to do the usual sit, hand hand and also down. Can start him with obedient school this coming monday as I couldn't start him earlier as it was in the middle of an already running school. With my brother, this is only according to my parents as my brother is still overseas atm. He gets one walk usually, sometime none, sometime 2 in terms of physical. Mental he was going to puppy and then obedient school once a week? Environment wise he has a big backyard (3x the size of my brother's backyard) and he is free to roam during the day.

Yup he gets bones every now and then (a piece every 2 to 3 days), there are left over bone pieces around the yard which I am considering removing as they have been there for a while now.

It used to be after its dried for a while... but because I have been picking them up he has been going for it as soon as he's pooped. I am teaching him "leave it" at the moment so thats helping.

A mixture of Bonnies and also supercoat puppy dry food. More so the Bonnies than the supercoat at the moment. So the main food he gets are dry. I do mix boiled veg, left over cooked rice, bread, etc in about every second or third meal he gets. This could be in his breakky or his dinner.

Ok I can say that the pineapple trick does not work for Milo..... so next step a change in diet..

All good no kittens here anymore Cool good to know, I'm not so sure with Milo... He does like to scratch himself abit lately, hence why I'm thinking re-apply in a week's time.
