The bad evaluates are from Hong Kong, I feeding my pup by RC and barf now, just want to know whether RC work or not and compare with Nuture choice.

I fed my pup barf as well, did you fed your gsd half barf half RC? or just barf?

Nutro Natural Choice - crude, no chemicls Royal Canin - Famous brand but people said it included many antiseptics and monosodium glutamate My friends's golden retriever has been fed by Royal canin (Her vet recommend) Share about what you know and recommend, thank you.

Hello guys, can I ask about the obedience trainning centre? My pup is a German Shepherd, can you guys recommendsome good trainning centre in Perth? Any helps are appreciated.

What is your opinions and some experiences?

Yes, he definitely should be allowed to go outside into your garden but no, definitely don't ''take him for a walk'' yet. He's only been with you two days and one of those days he was sick, he definitely does not need any more changes or excitement in his life. Take him out in to the garden without the other puppy, sit on the grass (hope it's not raining where you are!) and let him explore and wander about in his own time. When he comes to you praise him, give him a cuddle, then let him wander around again. This is quite enough ''exercise'' for a young puppy which hasn't been well, and will help him get used to coming to you for attention and love. When he lies down and looks tired (which might only take 5 or 10 minutes) he can go back inside and go to his bed for a nap. There is no way I would be leaving these two puppies alone in the same room together. Playpen for the Maltese, crate for the GSD would be my way of thinking. After puppy school I would suggest a good obedience course - and much effort from you. You have bought a puppy of a very intelligent and work orientated breed, you will need guidance to train him as you obviously don't have the experience to do it yourself. Where is his breeder? Are they near you? What trainers do they recomend? He's been with you for two days. Persistence and careful observation and you might have him mostly house trained in a week or so. He is much too young to be reliable about this, you need to find some articles about house training and follow ONE system closely, but whatever method you use, he won't be reliable for some time yet. HE IS A BABY!!!!!!!!! A Maltese is a much more compact and together type of puppy, don't let them run around together as the GSD could seriously hurt himself slipping where the Maltese would be able to turn and move better because it's a smaller dog and way more in control of itself even at this age. You can start training him now - sit before you eat, come here and we'll play etc etc etc. Make everything fun and don't expect him do do anything for more than a couple of seconds. Than you very much you are helpful Unfortunately there is a very long distance(42km) from me to my breeder and what she recommend is much more far away from me, I live a bit north (Dianella) but they are deeply south. My garden has some ants and other hexapod, and some grass, I am not sure the grass include flea or not. Forgive my english, I know I am bad describing but I hope you can understand.

Thanks missmaddy, I will send the breeder to you by pm. Do you know where has puppy school for gsd near Dianella/Morley? I found and booked one at bedford vet hospital but not only for GSD and they said the nearest class is start and mid Jan, I think it is too late. Did you take him to the vet or breeder? If he cant stand I would get a blood test done asap. Do you have a crate so pup can be locked away for a forced rest? That pre school is held by Vet hospital . um..it hard to say, he isnt cant stand but I think his weak, he can run and walk but If I push him he will easily down.

Sometimes I see them and hard to think that GSD is a little brother for maltese because of their size, You mean his leg will grow slowly if he always running and jumping?

It has a little bit at this moment and my leak of dog knowledge, they living in same room with my these 2 days because I worry the gsd will not get used to new environment and he always wailing. I want to take him for a walk but he just have Protech C2i and Protech C4, is that ok for walking in my garden and outside park? I have booked the pre puppy school but we are now waiting for response. During the long time what should I do to control him? He has following : Sometimes he knows where to go to toilet but sometimes he wee and poo to another place (still in the room) He's 8 wks old but he always look like very weak, i mean he cant run faster than maltese and he seems cant stand when I put him down, is that normal? As I see the infomations GSD should be very strong. When should I let him living outside my room? more days? (He arrived at 17/12) Is that a suitable time for him to train him? Name, sit, down,come.

I booked the pre school at Bedford-Dianella vet hospital, i am now waiting for their timetable.

haha they are so cute and nice but actually the maltese is not own by me but my hsemate. anyways, we love them

ya the gsd pup just 8 wks but the maltese near 13wks, I wont let them play together without supervise. maltese always come and play the hitting game but i worry gsd will misunderstood him and attack the maltese.

here's 2 pics before: http://img195.imageshack.us/i/img0244fam.jpg/ now: http://img9.imageshack.us/i/img0249id.jpg/

I am back. he is fine, he just play a lot with maltese and missing home, depressed. Once I take him to see the breeder, he look like normal, walking around her and nothing wrong with him. Finally I realised that I over worry about him.

Guys i m at home now and I am now taking my poor boy to get some advice, bless him.

8weeks old yesterday, I took him earlier.

Thanks guys, I have already contacted my breeder and I will get there today for helping my pup.

I am work now I will take him to hospital after I get off my job. one more question, where can I find a 24 hrs animal hospital in WA? It will be too late for him to wait I finish my job. Thank you very much.

Thanks guys what I want to say are 2 1 my pup is enough of 8wks old 2 I GUESS my pup was sick yesterday but not. Some people misunderstood my breeder is not a responsible breeder but she helps me yesterday and today. I am happy with that having a wonderful pup Anyways, thanks for those helpful guys for answer my questions.

We agreed to train the maltese if it still biting and being naughty so I am much more happy for owning a gsd pup.

My family used to have a malamute. I didnt have gsd or 2 dogs before. I know I do not have much knowledge about dogs and their language but I wanna start it. What I want to do is try to avoid 2 pups hurt each other and living together happily, thanks for infomations.

You have a people problem, not a dog problem. It is good that you are thinking of this before you bring your pup home. Instead of leaving it till it's too late. The problem is, you cannot force your friend to train his dog so that it behaves well around you and your dog. There is a good chance this will mean your dog will learn some undesirable behaviour, as a result of being annoyed, or just copying naughty things from the other puppy. Unless you can keep the pups separate, you lose control of what happens to your puppy, and what it gets to learn. This can be so dangerous, because you are getting a big strong breed that will be able to defend itself against threats. As an adult if it behaves aggressively, you could be in big, big trouble. The right time to get a puppy is when everyone in the house wants the same thing and everyone agrees to follow the same rules. If you cannot control the dog's environment and the other people and animals that interact with the dog, you can end up with serious problems that cannot be solved at all. I talked with my friend today and he agreed to train his pup, I think we are finding a way to learn how to train both of our's pup as someone said gsd is much more bigger and dangerous for maltese. As a owner I do not want my pup hurt anyone's pup.

Im not really sure the maltese is playing with me of not because I really feel hurt.. ... but if I say no, he will release for few seconds and bite again... My family own a Malamate in my hometown but I think the maltese is much more better compare with Malamute. That malamute is just crazy and naughty. It sounds as if the Maltese is badly lacking proper training and guidelines, you are going to be bringing a large breed dog into this situation who is going to be large enough to cause this little dog serious damage if it retaliates. Do you think you can manage this? It will be your dog that wears the blame and a friendship probably will be strained. I have large dogs and toy dogs in the same household, but they are all mine and all live by my rules and boundaries and we manage them. Do you mean even they are best friends but you will not leave them under supervise?

Is it possible to train my GSD to ignore the maltese when the maltese biting him? My friend's pup ALWAYS bite everything, included people. Thats why I worried about my gsd pup... Why would you train a dog to ignore another dog biting it? Would you ignore something biting you if it hurt? I really think you need to get some advice from people that can talk you through and show you what to do and how to manage the pups. You are going to have to manage both dogs to prevent them hurting or annoying each other, and given that one dog isn't yours, this is going to be hard. Thats the problem, I cant even teach his dog do not bite because it is his dog and he loves his pup very much. I dont want my pup getting any hurts from that maltese and do not hurt the maltese as the same time, just be friends. I see even a cat can be friend with dogs on youtube....but i am not sure real or not.
