hi everyone we have had our dog nearly 4 months, and not long after we got her, she was in season, today i have noticed blood spots on the floor, and yes shes bleeding again. I didnt think she would come into season again so soon? is this normal/common? thanks tracy

hello everyone we havent had our shepherd that long, shes 15 months old, and was wondering how much exercise should she be getting a day? thanks tracy :)

thanks weasels, kerrys pawsitive training is the one recommended to us by the vet. we are new to having a dog, so we just need some direction in where to go with making her feel comfortable and safe. She was fine being outside while we was out up until the weather changed, and it got colder and raining. We tried leaving her indoors, but on one of the days she chewed my couch, i could crate her, but i feel cruel leaving her in there where she cant run around, so being outside is the only other option while we are out. we have a dog door, so she can come in and out as she pleases, but its attatched to the fly screen door, not tha main door, so she cant access it when we are out. thanks :)

im south of the river in baldivis.

thankd for the advice, no we dont leave her outside at all when im home with her, shes outside only when we go out. we have been recommended a dog trainer by our vet, and will be starting next weekend with the dog trainer. thanks :)

hello everyone we have a german shepherd, 15 months old, we have had her about 3 months now. Recently when we are going out, she senses it and wont go outside, she either runs away from me, or rolls over. The only way i can get her out of the door is if i pull her my her collar (which i hate doing, cos it feels like im choking her) or to put her on her lead and take her outside. Its stressful for her and for me. Is there a way we can get over this, cos its really stressing us both out? At the moment most of the time there is someone home with her, but next month i will be going to college 3 days a week, and im a bit worried about leaving her home alone all day, if she still suffering with seperation anxiety thanks tracy

ive tried her a couple of times inside, with main areas apart from the bedrooms, and she has been fine, and not wrecked anything in the house, i left her plently of chew toys, and everything went good. :) thanks for all the advice another bad storm due tomos though in perth

a proper dog door would be good, but im guessing having one cut into the glass will be expensive? shes a german shepherd too so we would need a biggish door, and i worry about someone getting in the house, although i guess they would be pretty stupid with a german shepherd present, i wouldnt want to take my chances against her.

thanks for the advice, im going to leave her indoors, its not fair to leave her outside, there may be a storm today, ill leave the radio on, and lots of chew things and see how she goes :)

we have a dog door, but its attatched the sliding fly screen door, not the main door, so it would mean leaving the door open, and potential for a robber. i have never left her inside before so i really dont know how she would react, she may be fine? i guess i wont know till i try

hello everyone, normally when we go out we leave the dog outside, but at the moment its raining and cold, where does everyone else leave their dog in winter? She has excellent toilet control, she can go hours and hours without going. I would rather leave her in our bedroom with the door shut, she has her bed and crate in there, with some toys, I just dont know if she would chew anything?? any tips/advice thanks tracy

hello everyone, a couple of weeks ago my dog was not eating, turns out she was sick, shes taken all the antiobotics, and is still not eating properly. Is it possible that dogs can turn their nose up at some food, and become fussy. ONly reason im asking is occasionly ill give her a piece of cheese, or meat when im preparing our dinner, and she eats it, and i gave us some of the kids leftover tuna, with her other food, she happily gulped the tuna but left her chicken mince, and advance biccies. Im a bit confused as she has always gulped her food down until recently. AND shes always around us when food is around like she is hungry beacause she hsant eaten her food, any tips/advice or should i take her back to the vet? thanks tracy

thanks for the tips guys, im not that bothered about the pooing, and yes she eats advance biccies, so her poos are nice and solid, hence it doesnt really matter where they are, its just the wees, cos it stains the pavers, and onviously makes them smell. yes maybe i shouldt stress so much, i guess im lucky she is toilet trained and goes outside. i was thinking of buying a tray and put the turf in there, and put it under cover, at least then it wont stain the pavers, and i can easily clean it. thanks :)

hi everyone our dog normally wees n poos on a piece of artificial turf we have round the side but now its raining she's doing it everywhere which is the kids play area n where we sit outside which is goin to smell n unhiegenic. i totally understand why she wouldn't want to toilet in the rain.any simple way to solve this

ok back from vet she has a slightly raised temp n an upper respiratory infection should be ok in a week. thanks for all ur advice :-)
