    Spaying puppy

    Hi, I'm due to get puppy spayed next week and am feeling a little anxious about the aftercare since I've not been through this before. Could anyone share their experiences of what it was like please and any tips on keeping her occupied while jumping and running isn't allowed. Thanks

    Sitting/stopping on walks

    Having a few puppy blues! Not really enjoying taking Luna (4 months) for walks for a few reasons: 1. She is constantly stopping - sometimes standing still, sometimes sitting and occasionally even lying down. I've tried encouraging her back to stand/walk with treats but think it's making it worse...

    Puppy fear

    My Puppy (16 weeks) is generally pretty fearless but has suddenly developed a fear of any vehicle bigger than a car! Grass cutters, vans, lorries etc. She's terrified - won't go close and wants to run as far away as possible. Is there anything I can do to help her to be less afraid? Not sure...

    Puppy biting shoes and trouser legs.

    Just wondered if anyone had any advice. Puppy is pretty good on the lead until she starts getting tired and then she'll bite the back of my trousers as I'm walking. I've tried standing still and ignoring her until she stops and distracting with a toy but she always comes back to the legs! I'm...

    Shampoo

    Beautiful new pup came home today and was quite dirty when we got back after a bit of a stressful long car journey so I gave her a bath with puppy shampoo. But since then she has been scratching a lot and I'm worried it's irritated her. Tried rincing again in case I hadn't done it properly the...

    Trips before second injections

    I'm keen to take my pup out and about with me before her second injections in a puppy rucksack so she can get used to new experiences safely. My only query is how she goes to the toilet if I can't put her down? Like if we drove to the beach for a few hours - is there any way of doing it?

    Communal garden

    My beautiful pup is arriving in a couple of weeks and will be 8 weeks. My main concern is toilet training. Ideally I'd like to encourage going outside from day one and am happy to take her out at night. Only problem is that I only have access to a communal front garden. I never see dogs in the...
