Another suggestion

Can anyone who operates under an ABN please add this

So sorry to hear this Gail

I do understand what you are going through, but know that what happened was not deliberate on your part so you cannot be responsible

You give so much love to those you foster

Put the chooks in a properly fenced enclosure that he cannot get into and electricfy it

He may want to kill more but you cannot rehome a dog over this, it is just a normal obsticle to overcome in his growing up

If you look at the top right hand side of the DOL page you will see something that says MY CONTROLS, if you click on that you will be about to see your controls and a thing that will say send new message

I hope this helps LOL

Goodluck with your boy, he sounds lovely

If he came from Rozzie paganman he would not have missed out on anything lol, he would be a well socialised little tacker

I agree with you about the protection to some degree, but not in a pup his age

Send a PM to erny, she is always more than willing to help

I too am no expert, I have just had alot of troubled foster dogs LOL

I have found Vet Nurses running Puppy Preschools to be a problem, they mean well but do not have the experience to cope with any problems and what she suggested to me about taking him with her will only make the problem worse not better. I took one of mine to a puppy preschool like yours, it was only when I looked into it further for my next dog I realised that not all Vet Nurses have any real training in dog behaviour just experience from working at the vets

For most puppies where you are taking your boy is OK, but I think he needs extra help that only someone with Dog Training can provide

Do you have a Dog-Tech out your way?

He is very scared and you do not want him to become too fearful of other dogs. If he was my dog I would not be taking my son if possible, give him less to protect if that is what he is doing

Was the instructor a behaviourist or a Vet Nurse running a puppy preschool in the Vet Surgery?

Anyone in Bathurst know a good behaviourist?

I would take her to the vet for a skin scraping to see if she has mites, she could have demodex mange, which is easily treated by a vet

Your puppy is fearful of other pups, he is also in a fear period of his life

What breed is he?

How long have you had him?

Does he play with other dogs?

I would be talking to a Dog Behaviourist about his snarling, by taking him to puppy preschool when he is so fearful could make him worse and dog aggressive

Where about are you situated?

I fostered an 11 month old Lab bitch

She did $3500 thousand worth of damage to my house and yard

I do not know how to help you other than what other people have suggested but can say this, Imogen is now a happy, healthy non destructive 3 year old who lives with a family of 7 kids in a caravan park

When she first went to live with them she ate some caravan tyres

They do grow up but take awhile

So sorry Kristie, so sorry Barker

You gave him more love in the short time you had him than what he got before you

Generalising about any breed is not a good thing I agree

But I have found in my years of dog ownership and rescue that some breeds are prediposed to certain behavioural traits.

goodluck

Friend has a 4 year old Tenterfield and he is like this all the time

They have tried everything to no avail, she has been told by the vet it is common in the breed

Not much help I know

Contact the breeder for advise

Honey is also good to put on small doggy cuts and scrapes

I feed the larger meal in the morning

I used to be a night feeder but with a change in work schedule I now feed my guys in the morning (BARF) and then at night after a walk etc they get a cup of dry kibble

I have noticed that they both have lost weight, gained muscle and do not fart as much

We still walk the same amount

No not Diva Dog, another poor puppy with a similar problem

What a dog and owner though, great commitment and a very lovely doggy

I agree sas, gates, screen doors etc can create tension

When I brought my boy home, I put my girl on lead and let her watch the boy walk around the yard, he then came up to her and she gave him a big sniff and a lick, every time she did his she got a treat

I got mine from Bunnings for $20 each

They are actually compost bins LOL, but when you join the 8 peices from 2 together you get a nice puppy run

You are new to the breed and the breeder is not, they are just trying to tell you about a breed they know well and help you make a well adjusted adult dog

Follow their advise and you will be rewarded

So sorry to read this, you boy truly is beautiful

Run free old man, be young again

So sorry to hear of your loss

Run free Boffa

So sorry to read this, I know what Jesse meant to you

RIP Jesse James, run free and be young again

I would never have 2 pups together, but I know alot of people who do

If you are keen to get another dog, why not adopt a dog that is around the 1-2 year old mark?
