..this why my dog is usually on a long line ... the faster his legs go, the less his ears work

:) :)

Great to hear :) keep us posted on his progress !

Oh perhaps stress/sleep deprivation speaking?

Not on tables or beds - that's all .

you are going to be amazingly FIT ... ideally a baby puppy needs to be taken outside at least every hour ..more frequently if you don't stay outside long enough ,and he toilets when you get back inside ... I will suggest that immediately the pup comes home you watch him outside ..watch where he toilets , use a word that suits , and praise immediately. next time .. same place, same word , and so on. Eventually the word can be used to trigger the dog to toilet ..and makes everyone's life a lot easier ;)

:) it will!!

..and unfortunately, greys have no hairy ruff/loose skin to act as a protecting layer, either

It's a very effective brain fogger

members, erny and /or cosmolo can probably help you ...

Makes sense...

Legally I can't help - hope your dog is OK. From one point of view ,your dog seems like the one who wasn't adequately controlled though ..

Hope you get some professional help to lessen the stress soon :)

any reason why the dog can not sleep inside ? Sounds as if all is peaceful when she does :) maybe get a babygate or pen, and allow her to sleep near`her pack , where she needs to be ? I also suggest that you contact a professional . ASAP . and if you're in melb. maybe try members erny or cosmolo. They can also help with the introduction of a baby into your 'pack' .

R I P sarah ..

Glad you heard back from the breeder .. :)

sjp118 have a read thru THIS THREAD it will give you a snapshot of what is being fed , etc :)

Ouch !

Whatever 'cream' you are using will not have an effect in a couple of days .... treatment needs to be continued for some time . Unfortunately- applying medications can then sometimes muddle results of skin scrapings, etc ... What medication are you applying now?

Not easy to hold/control a puppy with both hands needed to use the frame though...

poor earthworm

Our house dogs sleep with my cats ..but let a feral cat enter the yard, and they will track/kill it.

Mum to Shelley ... I posted this link earlier for you CLICK HERE ..because it has all the information you need .. types of food, quantities, recipies , nutritional value .... have you read through it yet? it seems you haven't ;) Raw whole rabbits are great!! bet your dogs enjoy them :)

;) I like the bull story ... !!

What about the front fastening harnesses? They weren't around years ago when I was training dogs with old/tottery folks , and I have not used one, but they get good reviews on here :) I used to provide headcollars in cases of limited mobility ...and do lots of training with a dog beforehand- so they were steady when we started off ;) Have you thought about Schroeder maybe being trained by a trainer first, then transferring those skills to the owners once he has learnt what it's all about ? ( not something I normally approve of ...but where there is a real possibility of injury , it could be something to consider.) It may also give the owners more confidence, seing that he 'can' do it , and then they are able to work on their own balance/posture /communication skills safely ... The other possibility is that they get help from an assistance dog group, who should be used to working with people who have mobility concerns . oh .. and although I am solid and fairly mobile..I walk with a walking stick too ;) it always is an interesting exercise trying to leash train a puppy ! :p
