  1. Howdy all, I am new to the forums and am looking for advice regarding my 4yo Labrador Kelpie cross. Taj is a beautiful dog, who is quite obedient. Sit, Stay, drop, roll-over, wipes feet (before coming inside), goes to bed, and eats on command. However he is fetch obsessed, whenever we go into the yard or to the park its fetch, fetch, fetch...... He will obey for a minute then back to fetch, dropping balls/sticks/anything onto laps and feet until someone throws the item for him. Ignoring him does not work (we ignored the behaviour for 4 hours and he still kept going). It is constant, and is at the point where we cant have people over for BBQ as he wont leave people alone. Inside he is completely different, quiet, doesn't even care about fetch at all. Sits on his mat, enjoys pats and lets neighbours 3 yo climb all over him. Our yard is big, plenty of run space, and also comes in the evening on a 6.5k run (everyday or second day at the least). I think its a re-training thing, can anyone offer advice on what i can do or try training/re-training behaviour wise?
  2. Hello all, Im new to this forum and looking for advice. I have a 4yr old Labrador kelpie cross, who has recently started moulting excessively and licking his paws. He is still highly active, healthy appetite, and happy, but have noticed his coat is slightly dulled as compared to usual. Could this be signs of a yeast infection, or perhaps needing a change in diet? We feed him eukanuba dry food, as well as chicken necks and raw meats from butcher (although not as much in the past 5 months). Any advice? or suggestions on correct dietry needs?
