I always add water to Sam's dry food. I've never thought that it is a problem.

Please don't stop adding water to it. Kibble, or bbiscuits, is very very dry. Dogs need the extra moisture, and besides, it usually brings out the aroma and flavor of the food. If she gets the water...

If you want your dog to eat kibble, NO! Don't pamper her. It looks like your dog has trained you well. ;) Stick to what I've posted, if you want your dog to eat what you decide, not what she decides.

I think they are talking kibble. I know the folks in England refer to their kibble as "biscuits" too.

Though Hudler says when you get old sometimes they feed you biscuits AKA cookies instead of...

That's a good question because I really thought Hayleigh meant treats, not kibble, so I didn't think it was a serious problem, but now I'm afraid I was wrong :confused:

I thought the OP meant kibble, not treats.

when you say biscuits do you mean kibble or treats?

i'd check her teeth and gums, if she eats them when wet.

My first thought was a bag box of treats. Dogs can smell when something is off long before we can smell or see it. Second, teeth. I'd have the vet check and make sure there is nothing going on. ...

If you have checked with your vet and there are no health issues causing the lack of appetite, then it's time for some tough love:

1. Leave her kibble for 15 minutes. If she doesn't eat, take the...

I'm not an expert on canine nutrition and never been a dog myself :image023:, but I think they are like us and their likes and dislikes change with age. Lynn was a regular pig-ear junkie all her...

Biscuits are mostly carbs generally. They are the least nutritious part of her diet. She may have plateaued in height and growth at her age, needing fewer calories. Some, if few, dogs are self...

Mel started her first heat cycle on May 9 this year and she was born June 14 which made her close to 11 months old, but female dogs are different just like people - genetics, size, breed, you name...

Emma just finished having her first heat about a week ago. She was about 10 month. Most bigger dogs get in between 9-14 months. I'd say she still a little young, but know thy dog. If she seems...

Not knowing the mother's history, it's a wait and keep aware.

With Mardi having had several litters, her vulva is more prominent but definitely swelled when she came in heat. Just remember, the...

Luna was 9 months, her mom and sister were 10-11 months.

You'll notice vulval swelling. It seems like it happens overnight. It's not just a little swelling, you will definitely notice a...

No personal experience but this thread might help: Entering First Heat Cycle

From what I've heard, knowing when her mother began her first cycle could give you a hint.

Sue makes a good point about the treats - don't feed Zoe all her dinner before the class and she'll be even more food motivated to work! She may surprise you - in a group, they can behave differently...

I would also go ahead and sign up for a class. There are always some wild things at classes and if our dogs were perfect, there would be no need for class. If you have a safe place that she can run...

Have to agree, a class with other dogs is a must. Train now when she is young, not her full weight and bad behaviours are not too established. That's what classes are for. In class other dogs will...

Unfortunately, without a class with other dogs, you are probably not going to be able to work this out. The purpose of the class is to help you with these things. I like to take my puppies to class...

how much and what kind of exercise does seh get daily?

You need a class to help work on this. I would look into finding a good school and chat with the owner to see what they think. If you keep...

Polly was very excited as a young pup - sounds much the same. I took her to training - a lot! - and I wouldn't let anyone pat her until she was sitting and calm. I told people we were training, so...

How old is Zoe?

When you did you training, did you do it in the house/yard with low distractions? If so, that is EXELLENT as a first step. But - it is only the first step. You then need to slowly...

how cute!!!
