Well, the time is almost here. Murph will be going to get neutered next week. I'm a little nervous since this is the first big thing he's had to go through. Ideally, I would've liked to wait another...
I feel where you're coming from. I really do. There were plenty of times with Murph that I just wanted to give up and say "That's it. I'm done with this dog.". There were many nights what I would sit...
This is what I did last night/this morning. He sniffed it and walked away. Ugh. I didn't give him treats at all today (or started not to...then grandma stopped by and of course started giving him...
I can't wait to get through the 9 month stage. People weren't lying when they said it's the hardest.
Besides from testing his limits, Murphy is now refusing to eat his food. I assumed he hurt his...
Thanks! I'll look into those. We'd like to move out of state in the future, so obviously, we can't have a whining dog that long. Do you think any of those would be ok for "long distance" traveling?
...
He whines/cries until I park the car in the driveway.
Weird question, but how come going somewhere good would result in anxiety for some dogs? He's the dog that LOVES the vet. I wouldn't mind the...
Not sure where to post this, but I guess I'll put it under puppy behavior (even though he's a big 9mo old puppy now :))
For some reason, Murph HATES riding in the car. I'm not sure why either....
This is a huge fear of mine. I have a really bad lead foot (usually hit about 45-50 in a 35...let's not talk about the freeway ;) I don't go over 80 though) and slam on the brakes when I see a cop....

We've tried that as well. This sounds weird, but when we did that, he had diarrhea from the spray. Not sure if the two were directly related, but it DID work as to the "get your teeth off of me"...
Congrats! Awesome picture!
Hmm, I'll have to try that for his harness. He does wear his collar in the house (it just makes it easier to get his leash on since he tends to wait until the last minute and then decides he has to...
Nope (I wish it was that simple though ;)). He's very good about going by the door/standing by the door/whining by the door (you get the idea). If it's urgent, he'll either bark by the door or come...
(I'm an only child ;)) But really, I agree with you. The problem is, I do tell him to stop, knock it off, etc. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If I get up to sit him down and correct him...
No dogs near us which stinks. The neighbors have labs, but they're never home. I've looked into getting the chuck it - I do throw his kong/ball across the room (our living room has steps which end up...
I haven't tried the prong collar yet - I just fear actually hurting him with it. But I mean if it'll help correct his problem, I'm all for it at this point.
He left at the end of 7 weeks (the "49th" day), but was really sick and didn't learn bite inhibition because of that. When we were visiting, it didn't seem like he really interacted with his siblings...
I hate to even start this post, but I really don't know where else to turn/what else to do.
Here's a little background:
Murphy has a ton of puppy energy and we do exercise him when possible (if...
I took these about a week and a half ago when the snow we had was melting and it was in the "sticky" melty stage. It was a really nice afternoon, so I decided to try out my new DSLR camera and let...
Sending hugs and mojo - feel better!
These look really cool!
Also, I didn't know there was such a tool. I usually tried to use a butterknife to get the really thin ones apart, but nothing seemed to work perfectly.
Yay!!! Congrats!
Welcome! Congrats on the new pup!
I love pop punk, punk rock (especially late 90s-early 00s), classic rock, you get the idea. I'm the person who will scream the words as loud as possible at rock concerts, play air guitar, etc. ;)...
Here's Murphy playing with his Kong!
