I think my dog gets off on chewing something she shouldnt. I have a few chews chucking around for her, pork roll, buffalo horn among other things. Left for 10 mins this morning while i went for milk. Came back to a table mat shredded. I know my fault for leaving it in easy reach. It is...

Just read this as am also starting to dispare with my nearly 9 month old. 80% of the time an angel 20% of the time. i am that woman in the park screaming and that person putting my brand new shoes in the bin as my little devil/angel has chewed them. When you think its just tiny puppies that chew...

Thank you very much I will most certainly try that. Like you say her gait is all over the place and I worry sometimes that she is so bendy and lanky and not walking properly so that really is fab advice. The ladder is coming out tomorrow!!

Thank you, thats very good advice! You hit the nail on the head with saying one minute theyre sweet and the next minute a deviant. I definitely don't want her behavoir getting out of hand and her thinking that it is acceptable! I guess my only concern is (and this might be completely wrong) is...

Ha ha yes that totally makes sense. I can literally see her looking fir trouble and if i go to the beach really early and there is no one around then she will run off a bit then stalk me. Lay down in wait then run at me when i walk past her which really does amuse me . But yes maybe i just meed...

No i completely agree with you and its frustrating and embarrasing when she wants to hello to every single dog that walks by. Its not a problem around my local area as i know all the dogs/owners etc. But when i take her to the coast i want to be able to let her off and have her freedom but shes...

Looking for sone advice with puppy aggression/dominance please...My boxer girl is nearly 8 months old now and up to press has been a very happy go lucky pup but recently she seems to be trying to dominate other dogs. She plays and likes to roll ontop of other dogs but more recently has started...

I am only going back to work 2 days a week though so was considering 1 day of daycare and 1 day of dog walker/sitter.

Thank you for the advice, yes i think i do need an alternative! Ruby has been tired and not quite her usual self today so I'll take that as a sign!

Yes, i had a feeling that someone might say that! I fear shes a bit young for it. I got sent a video and it was just dogs running around all together. She looked happy enough but i wasnt expecting her to have 5hrs like that with no respite! I'm also going to be going back to work in September so...

Hi all, just looking for some advice on doggy daycare. Ruby is just over 5 months now so i have decided to take her to daycare for 1 day a week (5 hours 10am to 3pm) just to give me a chance to catch up on work/chores etc. Yesterday was her first day and even though they tried to get her to...

Yes i cant imagine Ruby not being enthusiastic for food at any time of the day! I'll certainly leave until shes a bit older and then gradually remove the meal. It seems cruel in a way, i cant imagine having to wait all day inbetween meals

Please can someone offer advice on when to start feeding your dog twice a day instead of 3 times? I have a 5 month old boxer who i currently feed at 8, 12.30 and 5pm. Ive read varying advice about when to transition them that ranges from 6 to 12 months old.

Its difficult to say whether its from saliva or from her food. She doesnt drool much...yet...so im assuming its food? No i dont rub her jowls dry after meals, should i be doing?

Well ive recently switched her to a raw diet and since then the staining has been worse but i dont think its water related as shes been drinking alot less water since i changed her diet. Ive read that baking powder can get it off but i dont think im willing to try that on her as shes only 20...

Does anyone have any tips for getting rid of staining on jowls? Ive tried wipes but they are not shifting it!

Oh heck, poor ruby, she had a raw sardine from morrisons this morning! I'll start freezing them with a date label on. Can they eat chicken drumsticks? I need to get over my fear of bones! ...and is ox heart classed as offal or muscle meat? Thanks for all the info. The forum really has been a...

Thanks everyone for your replies. Tonight Ruby had 25% kibble and 75% raw using the 80:10:10 ratio. If her tummy settles ill get rid of the kibble completely. The only question i have is with the 80% meat does this have to be pure muscle meat ie no fat? And how does fish fit into the equation...

Yes that is exactly what ive been doing with ruby, hold it and let her strip it, i kind of like it plus im safe in the knowledge shes not dowing them!

With ruby being a puppy im still scared to give her bones. Im bashing the wings up to within an inch of their lives! I guess ill get more confident as we get into raw. Im really looking forward to all the different exciting things i can give her
