I'm not sure about Boarding Kennels but we are happy with our Vet.

The Parade Norwood, Veterinary Clinic

27 The Parade (Cnr Eastry St), Norwood, SA 5067

p: (08) 83635323

Norwood is not too far from Hyde Park

For fresh meat we always get great service from Pets Pantry on Diagonal Road (near Marion Shopping Centre).

It looks dodgy but is very affordable and the man who runs it is lovely.

Welcome to Adelaide!! :p

We buy our fresh meat loaf from Pet's Pantry too! The pups love it! Corner Diagonal Rd and Ormonde St. Your right PH the shop does look a little dodgy but the home-made meat loaf is great :D

Our dogs Aubrey and Thomas (I'm Schnauzer Boy's OH) go to Dog City Daycare once a week on Tuesday's - they love it! The staff there are fantastic and the dogs have a wonderful time. There is a viewing area where you can pop in a take a look if you want to check it out.

We buy our dry food from Pet Stock on Main North Rd at Prospect - they don't sell pups or kittens.

Hyde Park is a lovely area - I think you'll like it there.

The DOL meets are on Main Street Glen Osmond so not far from you - it's a nice little off-lead fully fenced park.

I'll take 1 book please :rolleyes:

What a terrible loss - I am so sorry

Just reading Gherkin's name always put a smile on my face - it is clear she was loved by many and will not be forgotten.

Big Hugs to you Dotty and your other babies

Happy Birthday my gorgeous Baroness Von Munchy!

You are truly one of a kind and we love you to bits!!

I have been really impressed.

Thomas and Aubrey are going at lunch-time today for a 5 hour session. There is going to be another Schnauzer there too so am excited about that.

During March there is a 10% off offer. I think for residents that live in the area or people who work in the area it's 20% off in March. My two went for 5 hours last week and it cost around $30 (I got the 20% discount as I work across the road) which I thought was very good

Hi fellow Adelaide DOLer's

Just wanted to let you know that I have discovered a fantastic Doggie Daycare facility in Adelaide! Dogcity Daycare is located at 24 King William Street, Kent Town. I actually work in a building just down the road so have been popping across regularly for a visit just to watch the dogs playing and having fun. Aubrey and Thomas (our 2 mini schnauzer's) had their first session last Tuesday and absolutely loved it! They had a 1/2 day 5 hour session and when I picked them up after work they were both completely zonked.

The staff are so friendly and of course are huge dog lovers! Aubs and Thom are booked in for another session tomorrow

Here is a link to the Dogcity website if anyone wants more info http://www.dogcity.com.au/

I just voted! I lit up all five stars and then submitted the vote. So I gave it a 5 star rating. The pic now has a 4.5 star rating average and 16 votes.

So you choose how many stars you want to give the pic and then submit the vote.

I'm so sorry to hear that Bonnie has gone

Rest in Peace lovely girl

Love to you and your family

Ohhhh I'm gonna get me a Schnauzer T - so cute!

Both of my dogs adore carrots and red capsicum!

I hope the OP has taken the advice on this thread and that the puppy is not still locked in the shed - the thought of it gives me nightmares........

I also pm'd the OP offering assistance but no reply. :D

It has been playing on my mind too....

Do some reading on the impact of sensory deprivation on growing pups. Locking a baby puppy in a pitch black, metal shed because it barks and you can't be bothered to toilet train it is pretty extreme. Canberra was cold last week. My dog were rugged a couple of nights and they sleep inside. It's possible a baby puppy that can't regulate its body temperature was freezing. It is also more than possible that the pup is stress barking so I suggest you ponder what impact socially isolating it in a such an environment might be having on it. I'm not exaggerating when I say that studies suggest this kind of isolation can have permament long term effects on a dog's mental health.

You could solve all these problems by buying a crate, putting it inside and confining the pup to it at night. You'd have to get up if the pup needed to go to the toilet but with a bit of effort the pup would be sleeping through.

You bought a pup bred for generations as a companion. You also bought a breed not unknown for barking. I'd suggest that some further reflection on how to meet the social, physical and mental needs of this pup is required because its only going to become more demanding of your time and effort as it grows. A dog the size of a Miniature Schnauzer will not cope well with Canberra winters and really needs to sleep inside, even if only crated.

Sorry if I sound harsh but I find the idea of depriving a young, social animal of sensory experience and company for your convenience pretty sad. If I were the breeder of this pup, I'd be horrified frankly. If you want this pup to grow into a well mannered, stable adult dog then you need to be putting in real effort now. You only get one chance at this.

If you have not read the training advice on this website then I commend it to you.

Well said Poodlefan.

If you want a well socialised, toilet trained dog that is obedient, and a pure joy to have around, it is up to you and your family - his life and future are in your hands.

If you would like help, pm me and I will put you in touch with someone in Canberra experienced with the breed.

I agree whole-heartedly with these responses. The Mini Schnauzer is an indoor dog who loves being close to the family. Please don't lock him in the outside shed.

We went through toilet training with Aubrey which involved getting up every 3 hours to take her outside to the toilet and give her lots of praise and cuddles when she went. This contiued for about 3 weeks and then went down to once a night taking her out. They are very intelligent dogs and Aubrey was house-trainied within 5 - 6 weeks. As they get older they can also 'hold it' a lot longer. Our two rarely get up in the night to go to the toilet and have been known to sleep in until 10am!

Please take the great advice from people on this forum - the toilet training really doesn't take that long and you will have a much happier little pup at night

What a gorgeous little pup! Love her little tongue. Meg is such a cute name too.

Have fun with her.

He is adorable!!! Congratulations!! :nahnah:

Can't wait to meet him at one of the meets - yahhh

We have a session booked with Mark Singer on Saturday. Will let you know how we get on. :p

We do not crate train so locking Aubrey away in a crate when kids come to our place is not an option, plus we don't want to have to lock her away - it is her house. We want Aubrey to be able to interact in an appropriate manner with kids in our home.

Thanks again

What you want and what may be possible could be different. Until you get professional help I urge you keep Aubrey away from young children, in your home or elsewhere. That's for her benefit as well as the kids.

That's why we are getting some professional help for her and why we asked that our friend not bring their child over to our house. The friend actually took offence to this which has been quite distressing also.

If she can not be helped then yes, she may have to be segragated when kids come over - just hope it doesn't come this this.

Thanks for all of the advice guys!

For those that don't know I am SchnauzerBoy's OH.

We are going to seek a consult with Mark Singer for Aubrey.

Aubrey came to us at 13 weeks of age. She came from what we now think is a BYB. We bought Aubrey before we found DOL and were educated about BYB.

We know that the owner where Aubrey was born has a least one small child an we think that she may have received some trauma of some kind there. The first day I took Aubrey out after her immunisation we encountered a small child in the park. Aubrey immediately started to bark and the child began shrieking which only made matter worse - the child's grandparent said that the child was afraid of all dogs...so this was not a good beginning.

We do not crate train so locking Aubrey away in a crate when kids come to our place is not an option, plus we don't want to have to lock her away - it is her house. We want Aubrey to be able to interact in an appropriate manner with kids in our home.

Hopefully Mark will be able to offer us some help and get this problem sorted out.

I will let you know how we get on.

Thanks again

That is horrific :p

I have signed the petition.

Such a terrible tradgedy - there are no words..

RIP beautiful big boy x

Poor darling boy I am so terribly sorry for your loss :D

Such a lovely tribute to your boy - had me in tears.
