Our black lab is 11 months old, so this is our first time going through a winter to summer seasonal change with him.

My 4.5 month old and I were in a great routine for our afternoon time together - we'd go outside for a potty after getting out of the crate, come back inside to grab our fetch toys and some kibble,...
Just to give you all an update -
When my husband let Caleb out for lunch he did not have a bowel movement before needing to go back into the crate. When I came home a few hours later, Caleb and...
Thanks!
I don't think I was very clear. Luckily he does not have giardia, it's just the antibiotics he was given are most commonly used for giardia. We got a diagnosis of clostridium at the vets...
Short question is - Is it considered diarrhea if my puppy only has loose stools during his regular bowel movement times? In other words, he does not have uncontrollable diarrhea in the house, and...
Thanks everyone!!!
We bought a Zogoflex Hurley that he'll chew on occasionally but unfortunately doesn't hold his attention too long. We are using it for fetch in the meantime. It would be...
We stuff his Kong with about two tablespoons of peanut butter and freeze two for him. He gets one in the morning in his crate and the second after lunch in his crate. I think he goes through them in...
My puppy is 14 weeks old today. We got to have an emergency trip to the vet yesterday morning after he had diarrhea all night. He had elevated levels of clostridium in his stool sample. We had given...
I see I've worn out my welcome.
Thank you all so much for the help and advice this first week as I make it through my first puppy and first dog! No more silly questions from me!
Any advice on how to keep him from trying to "kill" the leash? He will grab it and shake viciously and won't let go for a barter exchange, not even for a treat (he's surprisingly not very good...
He's not a big fan of the leash, especially when he's tired or it won't let him do something he wants to do, so this has been hard in the past but we can certainly try again!
I just wanted to thank everyone for their support and advice! A lack of sleep combined with a fear of "breaking" our dog made me a very panicked puppy mommy! We decided to go with the shove him in...
What do you mean by putting them in instead of luring them in? Do you physically pick the puppy up and place it inside? I sometimes try to lure him but he picks up what's going on (even though not...
What do you do when they start to reject the crate? We had lots of belly rubs in there during play time and tons of treats. We recently tried smearing peanut butter in there too. We don't close the...
I do my best to make the midnight excursions very boring. No talking or anything, just a simple "Good business" and one pat on the head after the deed then right back upstairs and into the crate. ...
We inherited one plastic and one wire crate from a full size lab. The wire crate is divided and kept in our bedroom. Unfortunately he grabs at any towels we hang over it so we can't keep anything...
Thank you! I was afraid that because he was crying to get out of the crate I had done something wrong. This morning he ate breakfast in the crate, went in there a few times for the cornucopia of...
So I'm sure the answer to this questions is just persistence but I wanted to run it by the wise folks here on the forum.
We are taking Caleb out as soon as he wakes up from a nap (and first...
This is our new puppy Caleb! He came home with us yesterday morning.
Thank you to everyone for your advice and insights! We are definitely very excited (and extremely nervous!) to enter this new chapter in our lives on Sunday! I'll post a picture as soon as I can...
The breeder has already started working with the crate with the litter so I'm hoping crate training will go nice and quickly. When we went to visit them, they were playing in the grass in a pen with...
Thank you all for your advice!
I finally got in touch with the neighbor who said her dogs were very dog friendly and up to date on their shots and she wants to have a play date soon for the...
We will be getting our 8 week old puppy this Sunday! I am pretty nervous about doing everything right, and one of my biggest fears is over the puppy getting sick before his vaccines are up to speed....
