Hehehehehehe... That looks so awesome! I've been thinking about making a huge kennel for my brood but it didn't occur to me to make an enclosure type thing to hold the actual kennel... good idea! Looks really really good! Thanks for sharing. Did you seal it after you painted it to make it a little more durable and rain resistant? Also how much did it all cost? You guys make it look so easy! If a computer geek can do it..then surely a female as myself can try! ;)

Which two photos did you merge? Looks real to me.

You would be marked down for that?? :S Isn't it a show of 'teamwork' between dog and owner and good training if it's taught to do something difficult like that? Or does everything have to be all natural?

Love that!

Hehe...my puppies are just starting to growl - or try to rather... and they sound like parrots!

So much good advice was given and now 6months later how is this puppy going? Hopefully not somewhere in the rescue threads....? O_o

Ok here's a slightly different scenario.... What about when you have a litter of say... oh maybe 8 puppies who are 3 weeks and 4 days old and they ALWAYS whine. Not just the sooky little cute 'lets talk to each other and vocalise' but the really loud, shreeking whining that sounds that they are being hurt. :S Before being offered food, after food, whilst walking around... they ALWAYS whine really really loudly whilst exploring and sometimes when on their bed looking around and it's becoming a problem with my neighbours. Mum just ignores them and goes on her merry way... What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I've had litters of puppies before and they never made THIS much noise.

I like the sounds of your methods.

My gosh I don't think I've ever experienced this puppy biting! Are you all talking about a puppy thats teething and needing to practising using thier teeth so when playing uses teeth? Or coming up to you for whatever reason and biting you from out of no where?
