Who trains/walks Molly? Who feeds & disciplines her? Does your friend have any health changes ..like maybe menopause /change in hormone levels/pheremones ?

Do they ever do it when there are no toys or food? Unfortunately , getting them at 6 weeks meant they didn't have important time with their mum to teach them manners!! The time up to 8-10 weeks before they normally go to new homes is important in learning what they should & shouldn't do . It also means you probably bought them from someone who didn't give you much information on the pups' family - what their health and temperament was like .... You are doing well going to puppy school separately and with your training ......and now that gives me an idea why the bitch pup became more confident - she was in her own space for the first time ..and enjoyed it!

fuzzy photos- shot 'on the run'..but you get the idea :p Hammie has only learnt this in the past few months ..puts paid to "old Dog, new Tricks!

Hi :) Your boy sounds lovely ..and we do need photos to admire! :D All I can think of is that sometime your dog received a fright/felt pain when you gave him a command in the lounge or yard ........... and that has stuck with him . did ANYTHING change in the house ,or with you around the time his behaviour started? paint/builders/, your health .. any new appliances, new dog collar/lead ... place treated for pests .anything you can think of? You are very lucky! there are several Victorian DOL members who are professionals and experienced in dog behaviour/training .. it may be that one of them can assess your dog - seeing with different eyes, maybe ?

I was also thinking this :)

Welcome to D O L :) two babies fighting....... Who apparently wins? What is their body language when they fight? What happens if you do not intervene? has the breeder been contacted for advice? have you owned this breed before?

What a sweet face :) That's a lovely memory to have.

Agree. NO food . Give his system a rest Liquid faeces can be from an infection, or something nasty eaten ,,but it can also be the only bit which can get around an impaction in the bowel he may have some hard faecal matter there, or a foreign body ... Hope all goes well at the vets..and remember..IF the vet Xrays ..not all foreign bodies can be sen on Xray

Excellent!! :)

IMO ,british bulldogs aren't really small :p they are also VERY different in care to little terriers ... kirislin's the whippet lady ...I love them , but don't know a lot about them . They are soft & silky to touch, and make terrific couch ornaments ..they drape themselves over you .. there are mini schnauzers.....

Well Done !!

Poor pup .. I hope he doesn't have an infection or injury to bone ..both of which can be exacerbated by massage & 'adjustment' My suggestion is, If you can ..get him to your vet tomorrow - get temperature checked , and swelling palpated /checked ..then, if there is no sign of infection or damage to joints etc .. by all means see the chiro again . Hope he gets better very soon.

My guess is a vet visit. Was this chiro recommended to you ?

phone your vet ...better to not wait for symptoms ..ask if they can ID the tick for you.

This is great :) She isn't one for trawling thru links ..so I'll cut & paste these recipies/ideas & email her ....

She bakes heaps - this might be a plan . after me saying to give the doggies more meat and less cereal :p <br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

:) well done!

I'm sure they'd love that, too :)

Agree

This is not a packet soup mix with flavour/salt/thickener - it is dried lentils. split peas, and barley in a bag ....... no added anything.

Small town ..no aldi or anything

thanks, Jules.

...100% cheek! :D :D

Some good ideas - thankyou. I shall pass them on!

A lovely way of acknowledging what this time has been like for you :) It's nice for us to see what this little man was like - a character, it seems ! :)
