    Well I am unsure on how to maintain the raw diet but in past 2 weeks have gave her the tins of food twice a week, the Aldi own brand Cesar type. with about 10 tiny bits of dry food to stop her scoffing it in seconds and on those days and the day after she normally is buzzing with energy but also...

    Transitioning 8 month old puppy onto adult food

    My BC is now 8 months old, I still have I think around a month of dry food left depending on how I use it and if I give her bigger portions, a relative suggested to give her more food as even though her weight seems just about right shes still slim and it may stop puppy wanting food 24/7...

    Final puppy stages? Help and advice welcome.

    Updating a little, I thought I had the worst of it over as for about 2 weeks she only had the rare accident then in past few days had a few again though I will admit I still had that fake turf mat by door to stairs, I removed that last night to test if she would hold it in, seemed ok to start as...

    How to stop puppy picking up (and eating/swallowing) everything on walks and resource guarding?

    Puppy has a habit of since I got her picking up and swallowing everything on the floor especially stones/pebbles originally if I was quick enough I would use a treat and then chuck the stone away. Now shes older and I take her on a lot of walks especially through wooded areas and places where...

    Shes been fine since, apart from taking about 2 days to recover she was sleeping a lot and since then her toilet pattern has been great she went 4 days without an accident (on her indoor mat) and even then it was my fault as I took her out and she did a wee and wanted to come in and rather than...

    Well when I WFH, she just sleeps in my arms all day bar the 30-45 minute walk on my break and the rest of my lunchtime. and the toilet breaks for her in between so gets less attention then which is why I hug her. Walks are one on one as I hate using my phone, we do stop if another dog walker...

    Well I should of wrote, the door is closed but doesn't always "click" shut so can be pushed open if not closed properly, normally the only open door is kitchen door and that is in hall, and the hall access is via a closed living room door. In mornings I normally keep the bedroom door slightly...

    Final puppy stages? Help and advice welcome.

    I posted on my other thread, yes I notice zoomies or the current incarnation of them are often when she hasn't pooped in a long time i.e hours and poops shortly after having one. In the morning, of course especially pre breakfast she is so calm and obedient, any thing I ask of her i.e sit/down...

    14 week old puppy is getting agressive and loud

    Since the thread is a little active again I will post a bit of an update, last 2/3 weeks have been strange I did change her food as old stuff I bulk bought ran out and using treats more to control her behaviour i.e to get her to stay sitting down, the only constant is that she spaces out her...

    Final puppy stages? Help and advice welcome.

    Ok so since yesterday I have been giving her food 30 minutes earlier and this has made her evening poop a little earlier too so I'd say thats a good thing as means she is more likely to want to do her wee right before bed rather than around 12.30 at night. I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow...

    Final puppy stages? Help and advice welcome.

    Well I more meant how do I deal with her barking? it now seems to be every evening and she stands by the hall door and stops barking if I open it only for her to go into kitchen and want to jump up and look for food. For her toilet training I have tried being less reactive to her when I am in...

    Final puppy stages? Help and advice welcome.

    Shes 24 weeks old now, she still doesn't hold it in during the night though even when I take her out she rarely actually does a pee or poop or if she does its like a split second wee and a tiny poop like smaller than a meatball. Her zoomies in past few days have changed from running about a lot...

    14 week old puppy is getting agressive and loud

    An update, she calmed down a few days into the New Year, she still has her zoomies but less common like I said before. She was doing great with not biting feet but kinda backtracked since Monday though that may be related to teething, as on Wednesday one of her baby teeth came out when she was...

    What I do is a few short or 1 long walk a day, sometimes (but doing it more often again) in morning using her breakfast to train her basics like sit/down, leave it and just started doing it without shoes on as she bites bare feet or feet in slippers. Lunchtime I give her dinner in a dog...

    14 week old puppy is getting agressive and loud

    She has been hit and miss the last few days, not sure if its weather related as I noticed in past she is more calm on rainy days. Today I was working from home and on phone which she normally goes crazy especially in afternoon, whilst not perfect she at one point was dozing in my arms whilst I...
