We live in Saudi and this is a constant battle for us!! The weather turned on Thursday evening and we will now be in temps anywhere from 34 - 40+ until September/October - with high humidity too. This is MAggie's first Summer too. Obviously we walk Maggie early in the morning now and stick to...

Hi Everyone, Our Puppy, Maggie, is almost 7 months old. I believe she should be on 2 meals a day now. She is a fussy eater and at the moment is on 2 varieties of Canagan kibble mixed together. (Chicken and lamb) She is not a huge fan and I got into the terrible habit of mixing a bit of chicken...

ooh, I like this! OUr pup jumps up a lot at people and tries to lick/nibble their face! I am going to try this!

We are in Saudi! Very close! You have a great memory! Recently there have been a number of new pups added to the community where we live and there is a lady here who has done all her training in the UK. (She is a brit too) We have had her over for a few 1:1 sessions and she is very FF and has a...

I remember your first post as we were experiencing a similar thing. Things improved A LOT for us after our pup lost her baby teeth. However, I feel your pain as although our pup is now almost 7 months we still experience some biting, mostly first thing in the morning and tea timeish. I was only...

It'a been a while since I started this thread and our puppy is now almost 6 months old. I am pleased to say the early waking didn't last too long, as far as I can remember!! I started to give her a little bedtime snack when I put her in her crate. bit of chicken and a handul of kibble. This...

I just thought I would up date what happened with our pup over the last couple of days. We intentionally invited people over to try and help our puppy get used to people in the house. We had stopped inviting people and we were missing our friends!! Anyway, the first couple we met outside the...

I am following this thread as my 5 month old puppy barks constantly when people she doesn’t know enter the house. She is behind a stair gate but can see the door but begins to bark as soon as they set one foot in the house. If we can get her quiet we then open the gate and let her go and say hi...

I am not sure if this will help but some of what you describe Mrs S resonates with our 5 mth old puppy. She also targeted me, (I am her main carer and spend most of the time with her) and would often bite me quite hard. She really used to go for my trouser legs and actually ripped a few pairs of...

Vizmum, it does get better, I promise. We were in exactly the same position as you with our puppy who is now nearly 6 months old. I was often in tears and so were my children. My husband and I had moments of wondering if it was going to work out with our puppy and if we had made a mistake in...

I have a question for you as a dog groomer! I hope you don't mind. My 5 mth old puppy does not like to be groomed at all. We have taken her to the groomers twice, for the last 2 Fridays, and all the groomer has been able to do is brush her!! He is great and is taking it really slowly to try and...

Thanks! We do get some amazing sunsets and sunrises! We are currently living in Saudi! It's 32c today and only 11am....:eek: I am missing the snow and lower temperatures!!!:)

We are very lucky to have these views and sunsets! I am jealous of all the snow though!

I have a similar puppy, an angel when she is asleep, not so much when hse is awake!!! We also have barking issues. I will read your other post and maybe I can get some tips from the experts too!!

We are spending a lot of time conditioning our pup to like her harness being put on.... well maybe not like it - but to a stage where she will tolerate it!!. We do this 3 times a day- she is fed her lunch by hand, and this is incorporated into one of the harness training sessions. The other 2...

Thanks, @JoanneF - we will stick with the crate. She is losing quite a few teeth at the moment and really needs to chew a lot as her back teeth are coming through. We have managed to forsake any furniture so far, thanks to her love of frozen Kongs!!! We will make sure we do it all slowly and...

Our puppy is left for 4 hrs 3 mornings a week. Left after a nice walk and with a kong in her crate. Sometimes I manage to get back and let her out for 15 mins, but this is less frequent now she is older. The other 2 days we have a helper who lets her roam around whilst she is here. I make a...

I hope so!! I have going to ask her to come over on tuesdays before I go to work and we will do the morning walk together, and then ask her to come over for 1 hr 3 evenings a week before we go and for a couple of hours on Fridays too. I think this will he,p them to get to know each other better...

Makes perfect sense! Thank you! Normally if she works 'after hours' or on her day off, we pay the same rate and she helps out around the house and has Maggie. We asked her to come over on Friday as we were out for the evening but we made it clear this job was for pet sitting. I made it clear to...

@Caro Perry - You are absolutely right, it is quite a big ask, but as she has known Maggie since we got her, we thought she would be a good choice. Our helper is very enthusiastic when she talks about Maggie and says she likes her and she thinks Maggie is a good puppy. She looked after her for 4...
