Im looking for a new pool to swim my dogs at. My dogs use the pool for fitness (not rehab). I used to go to Kepala, but sadly lve moved and its way too far. Please dont suggest Woofpurnah, lm after other places where you can make a booking and ensure no other male entire dogs will be in the pool at the same time. Ideally no other dogs so your able to get the maximum workout for your dog. And somewhere were they wont charge $40 for 30mins if you want it to yourself. Kepala was GREAT this way and understood the best practise when swimming dogs. Thanks for your suggestions.

I agree with the final comment..... no kisses until l know its under control. Im going to try the pineapple juice tonight, fingers crossed. As l know shit happens, but thats just nasty ;)

Really? Gee its a bit hard not to pick up when its in the traffif path. Although when l pick it up l'm normally playing with them throwing balls etc.

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me on this yucky subject. Well my new pup (6mth old SBT) has a habit of eating poo.... I had a had idea she did this but never saw it first hand. Now l got her when she was 4mths from a breeder where she had been kept in runs with other dogs. So l think she got this habit from there But l've noticed she nevers eats her own, she eats my other SBTs poop. My other SBT doesn't do this. When l'm at home l pick up there poop everyday and sometimes more than twice a day. Pretty much as soon as l see it l pick it up. Also l just got back from a weekend away with the 4 legged kids and she also had a munch on wombat, deer and duck poo.... Food wise, she gets fed very well and only top quality food. So l'm doubtful its cause she is lacking anything in her diet. I'm hoping someone might have some ideas or suggestions?

For the car travel, l agree with a crate. It helps them settle and mine even sleep whilst in the car. I must admit as mine are well behaved l have become quite relaxed with restraint in the car But you have a good point, l love them and wouldnt want anything to happen in a car accident.... So l think l need to be more vigliant and consistent. I recently added a bitch to our family and even thought they play constantly, my current boy loves the company. Prior he never had a problem being an only child, espeically whislt l was at work. But l think if he had a choice he would prefer his 4 leffed company.... SBT's are addictive Most weekend revolve around them and l love taking them to shows. Its an outing we have together Although since getting my new girl... our neighbours dog has taken more interest in my lot Starting to chew holes in our joining fence!!!! ;) Looks like l'm going to have to undertake some work to my joining fence to stop it

Its getting better now as l think it was her way of telling my older boy to give her space. But l was thinking of putting some cream on at night to help with the healing process. Moisturising cream in effect?

Hi guys, Any suggestions for helping heal some scabs on my boys cheeks? My new puppy (with her milk teeth) has been nipping my other boy on the cheeks. Now l've been applying cream to ensure they don't get infected. But now l'm not sure what to apply so that the scabs can heal properly and prompt skin and hair growth..... Any ideas????

My 2 SBT's would be happy to be inside most of the time. And thats because that's where their family is most of the time. Having said that, they are also happy to have their play time outside. Currently l have 2 stafford blankets across my lap keeping me warm

Im actually finding that my 16 mth old boy is the one that is starting it. :D its doing my head in When they stop playing the pupp starts wanting to start a game with me, by nipping me. which of course l yelp to tell her that she has over done it.

Im justing wondering how everyone has introduced a new pup to their current junior? My current boy is 16mths and l now have a new girl (16 weeks) everything is going ok. But l just wanted to make sure that l'm doing eveything possible to ensure a smooth introduction. This is my new girl... and my current excitable young man Also how much play, is enough play? Like when does it become over the top and stressful. Cause sometimes l call play time quits for them, but my little pup just looks like she goes back for more or starts playing with me.

Gee l didnt think my initial message would evoke so much talk. But it is very interesting to hear what other people do or dont do... I might have a chat to my other show/breeder friends. Ive just always been the type of person to have any animal from cats, dogs, horses vacinated etc. I only got the heart work injection so l didnt have to remember to give him regular heart worm tablets. But l will admit l didnt look into it to much prior to the vet giving my boy the injection. I just thought l was doing the right thing for him.....

Now its been a year and my memory might have blocked out things when it comes to money. But l dont recall 2 injections (heart worm and vacination) to cost $160 Now my boy is worth every cent to ensure his health. But is this a standard cost or am l funding my vets retirement????

Sometimes the person is more of a problem than the dog. Maybe you should put a collar and lead around the visitor unti he/she learns to keep your overgrown pup in line Thats what l thought.... But then l have a feeling that it will be on for quite some time. How do you tell a quietly spoken, polite, shy person to be more disciplined and firm with MY dog. I just might have to grin and bear it. And let my dog loose when our visitor isnt home??? Gee l thought it would be good (extra income) to rent a room out. I just didn't think about my cheeky four legged friend

I agree and I am trying to do that. However it can be kinda hard. This visitor will be living with us for about 6 months!!! Also this morning l let him out first thing (whilst l was showering) and our visitor let him in. He obviously thought he was being nice. This time my boy didn't annoy our visitor but instead he gutted a throw pillow

Just an update.... Ive had my boy on a lead a little just so he settles and remains calm and on the ground.... This has worked a treat... I have also been asking him to stay off the couch so much.. He still jumps up and onto our visitor, but immediately jumps down after l tell him. He is staying for a bit also. The problem we have is that our visitor kinda stares at my boy (in a nice way, he thinks he is lovely and just looks at him and has a little laugh) well my boy takes this the wrong way and jumps up to give our visitor kisses.... I know this isn't totally relevant and l dont want anyone to think l'm being racist. But our visitor is Japanse and very quietly spoken and doesn't want to tell my boy off in any way (kinda good, but hard when lm out of the room and come back to my boy literally walking over him) so l think it will be a long process as its just me trying to correct him as our visitor is quite passive. But so far so good
