I would take him out right before you feed and then again right afterwards. That should stop the weeing at the food bowl.

Why the crossbreeds? Nothing against crossbreeds, but if you're looking for something smaller with a temperament you can learn about relatively accurately, then you are better with a purebred from a responsible breeder who knows the lines, the temperaments, the health etc. Different dogs were...

For going outside I use the general rule of 'if the feet hits the floor the pup goes out'. This means waking, after eating, if playing and stops, etc. For a pup that young it happens fast, so best out every hour or two and change in activity. To reinforce where you want him to go have some...

Great job. I know she thinks she'll prefer being able to see out and watch the world go by, but you know she'll be safer in there now.

Good points. The laws are there, they just need to be enforced? This is the same worldwide when it comes to animal laws. The existing laws would work if they were properly enforced. We don't need new ones

Could you rent an estate or mini SUV rather than a sedan and put the crate in the back - better for the dog to travel in while driving anyway?

I have found that a couple of biscuits before bedtime stops this. Most times it seems to happen first thing in the morning with my girls. Giving the biscuits before bed gives the tummy something to work on overnight. Edit to add: If this doesn't work after a few days then I would take him in...

I would definitely crate her, and secure the crate so that it can't move. I cringe when I see dogs in the front seat as I have visions of them going right through the windscreen when slamming on brakes, even with a seatbelt. I used to travel with my dogs that way, or loose in the back. After...

You're very welcome. Good luck with her :)

She is getting very close to being matable if she isn't already. A typical season is 3 weeks with ovulation generally occurring from day 10 and best days for mating 12-14. Some can ovulate earlier or later. I've known a bitch accidentally mated day 24 when by all intents and purposes she was...

I did eventually watch it on catchup TV. Hubby heard me and asked why I was watching as it was going to just get me worked up. My reply was, so I can take part in the conversation if needs be. They do wind me up, and most of the people on there were (insert your choice of adjective here)...

I'm sorry it isn't the advice you were hoping for. I think you are doing the best by him. I'm so sorry :(

The whole post above is really good, but I just love the sentiment of the last sentence :wub:

Couldn't have said it better :)

I think that at the age of 12 he's had a good length of life. A change of environment could make him nervous and just increase the problem. In my personal opinion the kindest thing you can do for him is to let him go with some dignity left. He's not happy as shown by his aggression, and now...

I would suggest if at all possible, that until the situation is resolved that you don't crate them together any more. If something happened while you were out, you could sadly come home to find one dead. The wrong word said in a small space could be all it takes to set one off, and with...

It's difficult once you've trained them to go on a particular surface (like grass) for them to know it's okay to go on a new surface. If you have a cue word you use for them to do their business then use it and if and when they do go on the new surface praise like crazy and treat them so they...

Have you had him to a vet. If he's had seizures on top of these behaviours, if it was my dog is be concerned about a possible brain tumour or other neurological issue. I know that's not what you want to hear, but all if those symptoms combined would truly worry me and I'd get him in for tests asap

How is she getting on with your older Newfs? Do you think it might be a problem there? I'm afraid it's not a breed I'm familiar with (habit-wise), but it does seem there's something that may be upsetting her in the house. Have you talked to her breeder? If it was me, that would be my first...

Glad the vet thinks he's ok. It's so worrying when the little ones have this problem as they can dehydrate so fast. It may be to do with the worming. I don't usually have that problem with panacur (I suspect that's the 3 day worming), but when I tried a different wormer on my last litter of...
