HI All

Apologies if this is not the correct forum, but hoping more Perth people will see this here than elsewhere.

I am hoping for some recommendations for dog trainers in Perth.

We will be welcoming an 8 weeks old Siberian Husky puppy into our lives on 2nd Jan and looking into trainers. We intend doing kindy/preschool and would ideally like someone with experience with this unique breed that we can take through different levels of training.

We are North of the river but will travel further out for the right person.

There is a a PawPrints kindy run at a pet shop very close to me, so I could possibly use this for kindy and go from there, however it might be better to stick with one trainer throughout?

Many thanks

Jase

It sounds like Mrs Cranky is just being a be-atch.

A vet practice can be a stressful place to visit for we humans, especially when our much loved pets are unwell. When you are next there I would either let the vet know how you feel about the staff and are considering moving or simply switch vets. If you switch vets I would make sure they know that Mrs Cranky is the person responsible for your move and for them to let you know if a time comes when she is no longer there.

It seems that your Vet acknowledges this person's demeanour by calling her Mrs Cranky - however, they may not be aware though that this person could be damaging their business by alienating customers.

Having said that I have never seen dogs sitting on human chairs at the Vet, and personally wouldn't do it, but it seems the chair is less of an issue than how you feel you are being singled out and made uncomfortable by this person.

I do hope it all works out for you in the future.

Esky, your puppy is gorgeous

Such a ghastly tragedy. Not one of us was there so we don't know. There are any number of scenarios. The parents of a 3 month old baby are probably a bit sleep deprived and when they do get the chance to sleep I imagine they sleep very very deeply.

However, it is all supposition on our part.

Poor little baby, Mia, and those whose lives are changed forever.

Well said DD.

He's coming on Qantas on Monday. Somehow weaseled my way out of working the entire day ;) So I'll be there easy. We don't live far from.the airport at all so the poor feller wont have to go much further before he can have a run

That's great news!

bugger, hope they don't move near me :laugh:

Flights confirmed.

Nerves setting in.. Overthinking training already.

:laugh:

Want to make sure this one doesn't train my partner!

I can relate :laugh:

bewdy Thanks Huski!

Hi Huski,

Do you think the True Colours Shampoo is okay for a puppy?

I see the showstopper shampoo is on back order - any idea when stock will be in?

It's back in stock now :)

many thanks!

Ezio is gorgeous ! Congrats

He's lovely, F-dog sounds pretty cool btw, but my money is on Flash!

If his papered name is Jedi then I think you should call him Force - haha :p

I said that.. but apparently that's a stupid name according to the man who agreed to call our cat Corpsegrinder :laugh:

Corpsegrinder is a rather fantastic name.

Not if you're a mouse in that house. :)

Gorgeous pup!

Flash! as in The Flash superhero

Oooh I love his colour.

He'll have lovely face markings when he's all grown methinks.

Awesome name too :)

Many thanks, I am looking forward to seeing pics of your Bullarab puppy!

I received 5 week old photos from the breeder today! We are calling him Ronin which means masterless samurai and should relate to the free spirit of a husky. My daughter thinks Ro-Ro sounds cute (also sounds like barking) so we might see some alternate versions being used LOL

Great - thanks for the replies.

I saw there was a bit of a discussion on another thread about this product so thought I would start a separate thread.

I have a few questions about Puppy gold if I may. I will be getting a Husky puppy in around 5 weeks

How does one feed Puppy gold to an 8 week old? Is it sprinkled on kibble or what do you do if feeding PMRD?

Do you adjust the food quantity to account for the extra calories?

Is there any concern with accelerated grown and strong joint formation with a supplement such as this?

Many thanks

That's so cool * and further envy :laugh: *

You should totally do some racing too ( if you aren't already)

The scene in WA is totally awesome, really friendly people and a real great companionable group.

Met a lot of them that travelled in a big group so the ACT for nationals earlier this year.

I've been to an open day at the WA Sled dog association, and yeah they seem like a good bunch around 190 members I think!

I am definitely going to participate when he is old enough - some 18 months away. I even have a mushing scooter LOL

Oooh so handsome!

Do they race their sibes, or are these just awesome snow shots?

Thanks, and yep they definitely race their dogs.

Oh lovely, the dam is a very nice looking girl

* Annnd I've got sibe envy now * :laugh:

Thanks :D

THis is the sire who the breeder thinks my puppy will look like.

Ohhhh huuskyyyy. What breeder / lines is he from if you don't mind sharing. ?

Articpower

here is the dam but the link for Sire (Hart) keeps coming up with an error message
