Second day of eating in hall, all empty bowls day one, ate about half of first meal today, I took it away, we went for walk, when we got back he went straight to place in hall. I put down remainder of meal, left him alone, he cleared bowl. I think it has been a mixture of things, a noisy...

I think I've made a rod for my own back to be honest. He actually sits and looks at food, then looks at me as if to say 'you know what you have to do'! I am going to try a different tack today, instead of kitchen, I'm going to put food and water in the hall. No fridge, freezer or other noises to...

In reply to JoanneF and gypsysmum2, at the moment he is on natural instincts puppy raw food, with just a little akela puppy dry to graze, I had wondered if he needs something a little more robust than the raw food, he is 12 weeks old and quite active, in that he will play ball etc all day, and...

Hi, tried the tray method last night, and after very suspicious circling, he did venture to eat a little, roughly about a quarter. However, I wondered if he was just plain bored with the same flavour all the time, so I have bought some other wet puppy food and mixed it 3 parts (old food) to...

Thank you for reply, the feeding plan is great, simple idea that I never even thought of. I did have him facing wall but see now that would make him nervous, we will start the tray plan today. As for the toilet plan, he is pretty predictable, so I know to some extent when he will need to go. It...

Hi all, does anyone else have a pup that will not eat from any dish, plate, saucer etc., but if I put food straight onto kitchen tiled floor, will eat every morsel! I have tried putting it down in dish etc and just leaving it sitting there, but after an hour and half, he had not touched it. He...

Just an update, have spoken with vet, she recommends having injections, so will be taking Alfie for first one in Feb. A little late, but we won't be going out til weather better. Many thanks for replies and advice, much appreciated.

Thanks to all replies, I can't visit pup as the distance is too great, and as a non driver I have to rely on others for transport. I will look at drjeandodds site, I have been looking up sites for info, but they mainly say it's up to you as a new owner, obviously I want to protect my puppy, but...

Many thanks for your reply, you have said all the things that bothered me. I have four weeks before pup is ready to come home, so I will speak to the vet and see their recommendations. It could be all quite fine, and nothing to worry about, but it's the fear of the unknown I suppose and I...

I have recently reserved a Shih tzu male puppy, the breeder does not have pups injected but relies on nosodes for pups protection. Do any members here have experience of this, as I am a little nervous about it. I have read some reports which seem to support it, I just need reassurance really, thanks
