We play a game with our pup that he loves. We hide small pieces of his liver treats all over the backyard when he is inside. Then we bring him outside and yell FIND! He pegs it around the yard sniffing like crazy until he has found each one.

When he was smaller we started by hiding them in the house. Its very funny to watch.

I was just looking through some pics of our Staffy boy when we first got him and how much he has grown. He's still a pup at 10 months but I forget how little he was!

Not sure if this has been done before but thought it would be nice to see everyones before and afters?

Hey I just bought one of these on Ebay. I'll let you know if they are any good. Dont buy from this site, they are $16 on Ebay plus about $7 postage.

If you want some fun tricks, my mate just bought 'Wonderdog' by Katrina Warren. Each trick is explained step by step. Theres one where she has taught her border collie to drop dead when she pretends to shoot him!

Im loving these pics everyone!

edited to add now - (1 1/2 yrs)

I apologise in advance if this has already been done but I have searched and cannot find anything relevant...

Just wondering how much putting together a Barf diet costs you a week/fortnight/month (whichever you can figure it by)? I am moreso interested in those that do their own diets not the pre-purchased barf patty things.

Also where do you purchase the majority of your meat/bones? Supermarket, butcher, pet related store etc

Thanks in advance :rolleyes:

My 15wks old Staffie can be very annoying when we try to have dinner at the dining table.

She will stand along the dining, paws on the table and start sniffing our arms. Partner and I have to ignore her then she will finally give up. But she will be back within 5 minutes.

I try to feed her dinner outside at the yard when we have dinner, but that usually only last 5 mins and she will be back in. I know i can always put her on lead or lock her up, but i prefer to find a way to train her so that we can have a peaceful dinner without her disturbing us...

Any tips?

Thanks

Our boy started to do this. We locked him in the laundry when he started and would leave him in there for 5-10 minutes. If he did it again when we let him out he would go back in there for longer.

Also we never feed him from our plates or at the table. Friends would come over for try to feed him which we quickly stopped. He only gets fed from his bowl.

This worked for us anyway. Good luck.

Just googled and this is the 1st site that came up.

Not posting this for educational purposes because I see a few things there I know people feed there dogs but more so for the humour -

They have added Alcohol, Marijuana and Tobacco. Wow thankgod I read this.

Cheers guys

Hi everone,

2 things our breeder told us to never feed our dog was chocolate and onion. Over time various people have told me this isnt true? I have never fed him either. He gets dog chocolate sometimes.

Is this true?

Our staffy pup (8 months) can swim ok but not great. Hes getting better with practice but his chunky little bum sinks! We started him in shallow water and now take him out a little further each time.

thanks everyone, i wont take him til he's over 12 months then

bec your pup is adorable too!! oh i just love them!!

Is yours the worlds biggest sook as well? Do you have any more pics? I just love em!

Beauuutiful pup! We were told 12 months with ours.

My 14 week old puppy has a big lump on her back after her vaccination on Saturday. Is it normal? I'm not sure if I should ring the vet or not. It doesn't seem to bother her, she did cry if we touched it by accident for about 2 days. It doesn't appear so sensitive anymore.

Thanks!

Same with ours. Happened after 2nd and 3rd shot. Lump went down after a week or so. Nothing to worry about.
