Friends have had success similar to above bit using a bathmat to spread it out on as their 'feeding station' in the kitchen. Others have had success with this http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=159&pf_id=63892&utm_source=ShoppingFeed&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CMGxqtjo5bsCFWITwwodM0MAcA

Part of the problem (if it has just started) is likely the weather. I would strongly suggest (once you rule out a potential medical issue like a bladder infection etc) that you go back to puppy basics. Take him out every couple of hours and stay out with him until he goes. Praise him like...

I echo (no pun intended) the advice in the above post. It's very likely a food allergy (or an allergy of some kind) and the best way to deal with this is to eliminate a lot of the junk that pet foods put in their diets, so no wheat, corn or gluten. Something like a lamb and rice, or fish a...

So sorry. What a beautiful memorial you've made for him.

What a beautiful boy. I just wanted to stop in first thing and let you know we'll be thinking of you today. It will be the most difficult but also the kindest thing you will do for him. Hugs

Spend this week spoiling him absolutely rotten. Give him his favourite things, let him see his favourite people, have no regrets or 'I wishes' left. What a fantastic gift that you got even longer with him than forecast, but that's little consolation. We lost our girl last September, just 8...

Could you give her a little food mat to the side of her bowl. A few of our dogs have done this (not a problem with dry food, but can be a pain in the bum with raw feeding). They just like to step away and munch. Just one of their quirks. So if you can put down a small towel, or washable rug...

First, the more you play around with his food, the more of a problem you are creating. He may like something for a couple of days, but then he knows that he can play the 'I want something better' game and you will cave. You need a good week or two (at least to start) of being STRICT. NO EXTRA...

He may be drinking when you're not seeing. Is he the only dog in the house? If you want a good idea of how much he's drinking, measure the amount of water you put in the bowl in the morning, then measure what's left before refilling again the next day (evening whatever) for a few days. Also...

Dogs to like to get as close to heat as possible. Would you consider a baby style fire screen to prevent her getting too close?

The problem some might have with you bringing you dog is potential health and safety risks. If your dog is a certified therapy dog then that could make a difference, but unfortunately with laws the way they are now a lot of charities. Homes etc are unable to have animals involved who haven't...

Puppy should not go out walking in public areas until a week after his second vaccination when he should have full immunity. If you have friends with vaccinated dogs then bringing him there to socialise can be good. I also take mine out earlier in my arms or puppy pram (yes I hear the...

She doesn't make them anymore but you can get similar from http://www.collarsrus.co.uk/ They started making them after she stopped. They have several new variations as well.

Why are you using a puppy pad? Do you not have easy access to outdoors? I have raised dogs in a flat with no garden and in a home with a garden. It really honestly is better to teach a dog that it is never ok (unless by accident or sick) to eliminate in the house at all, especially when...

Most crates come with a plastic tray. Perhaps a layer of vet bed would prevent the condensation from the foam if you put it down first?

I would ask how old as well. There is a syndrome with older dogs called vestibular syndrome or vestibular disease which can cause them to be unbalanced. Treatment is quite simple with an anti-emetic (motion sickness) tablet, but should be diagnosed by a vet before treatment as there are...

When he wee's outside whether it's on a walk or in your garden have some really really tasty treats with you. Start like you would with a puppy. Take the treats out in your pocket, give him the command you are trying to associate with doing his business, when he goes in a high happy voice...

He's 4 years old and from a background where he hasn't learned to play. I wouldn't worry too much about it. He may not ever be play/toy motivated. Even dogs raised with toys don't stay play oriented to toy motivated all their lives. My whippets play with toys most of their lives, but other...

How experienced are you with dogs in general and with strong dogs (both physically and mentally strong) in specific. If you have little or no experience, and a 3yo child I honestly would not recommend either of these breeds (I'm assuming you mean Staffy) on their own or as a mix. Sorry if this...
