Hello, Am I OK to give cooked beef as a treat inside a Kong to Blue who is 15 weeks old please ? Thanks in advance for the help

Thank you !

A quick update on Blue and how we are getting on over the past few weeks. We bought the HuggiePup and put it in his bed with him and although it seemed to settle him at first, it wasn't long before he was shaking it around like all his other toys. I can see the value in this toy for dogs that...

A quick update .... First, the HuggiePup has arrived at Argos so I'll get Bev to pick it up after she has come back from her mums. I'll do a review on here after a few days of using it if you like ? Second, yesterday Bev gave Blue a lot more rest and altered the feeding times a bit. He now has...

Brilliant ! I'll get one tomorrow and see if it helps.

We only isolate him for about 10 seconds then let him in the room again. I know what you mean about hard work ...

He has had a few more hours sleep this afternoon and so far quiet and calm. We will wait and and see what happens later but for now he is doing great.

I spoke to the breeder and they seem to think he could be over stimulated, especially in the evening and he is getting cranky. She said give him 3 naps a day even if he doesn't seem like he wants one because we may be keeping him awake and stimulated for too long. We will try this and continue...

Ok we will go back to isolating him from the room. Sorry for all the questions.

Our next strategy is, when we are in the living room and he starts biting again, get him to sit by showing him a treat and only when he is calm, giving him it. The only problem is that I'm not sure if I would be teaching him to bit and bark in order to get the treat ?

I'll text the breeder today and see what she says.

Will do Joanne. I sure there is a good dog waiting to get out but the more I think about it the more I'm thinking the problem is on our side not his. Maybe we are giving him too much exercise and freedom. We give him 30 mins in the morning and 30mins in the afternoon with him, throwing balls...

Ok we will try that. We have a dig behaviourist coming over soon.

I'm away on a business trip, back tomorrow The dogs gone mental again. He's bitten Bevs mum making her hand bleed and then bitten our 14 year old boy, making his foot bleed. He snapping barking and biting all the time tonight. He's been fed, exercised and he has had 2 long sleeps. Is this normal ?

Ok ill change the wording. Thank you

It's only a week and Blue has become Bevs shadow. To think she wouldn't come out of her room before and now they get on great. He still bites but he responds well to "BAD DOG !" If he gets to lairy. He gets excluded if he goes to far abd behaves well when he is reintroduced. Treats are working...

Thank you for the advice I'll definately go and see a few then.

Thank you. We are enrolling him in a local training course but he needs his second vaccination first. With Bev being at home all day its a project she is really excited about. I'll post the details when we have more details. Thanks again

I suppose the reason I'm a bit neurotic over Blue is because of a past experience that left my family devastated about 14 years ago. Before I met Bev, my family had a German Shepherd which we rescued and he was brilliant. He lived for a good 8 or 9 years with us and when he got sick and was too...

Yes I think you're right. He still has his moments but we find a run around the garden enough to settle him down again
