Briged, firstly take control.You using the Bath it seems.run the amount of Water you want in the Bath first before you go anywhere near the Pup.that way your not having to contend with Taps.Put the pup on a Lead and put in the Bath and do what your going to do. Tonymc

Training Help - Dog With No Interest In Anything

Curvey, sounds fine to me. Tonymc

Normal Dog behaviour. Tonymc

Alex,the Pup is treating you as he would another Pup.Have a look at a litter of Pups playing together.One Pup will let another know its getting too rough by Yelping,moving away and so on.You could imitate that behaviour yourself, by making a Noise,turning away and ignoring the Pup for a while.You could also when the Pup is wanting to Bite,divert his attention onto a Toy that he can bite.

Dilly to keep it brief, read Cesar"s Way or Jan Fennel"s Book "The Dog Listener" Tonymc

Is she being dominant or is she just being a Pup? Tonymc

Jejuna, to cut along story short you need to establish in the Pups head who is Boss or Leader.I would suggest you read "Cesar"s Way" or 'The Dog Listener" Both good books that will provide you with appliable information for your Pup. Tonymc

kiki, how long have you ignored the Pup when he is trying to jump on you?You need to keep ignoring the Pup as long as it takes.When the Pup is sitting or acting calmly then give it attention. Tonymc

Nekhbet, excellent answer. Tonymc

As Dougie, said Pups will be Pups. Tonymc

Sounds like the Pup is in control here.Are you as soon as she shows any sign of dislike towards the Collar, going out making a fuss of her and taking the Collar off?If you are your playing into her Hands or Paws.Put the Collar on and go about the normal routine you have with the Pup.When you do not make a big fuss of the Collar, she will learn not to as well.

Should The Alpha (human) Be Seen Cleaning Up Their Poo?
Tonymc replied to samoyedman's topic in Puppy Chat
Samoyedman, your reading way too much into this.Take note of a Pack of wild Dogs and their behaviour if you want live lessons in Alpha or Top Dog behaviour. Tonymc -
I never use Canned Food of any Variety.Speaking of Aldi,I was visiting Sydney and my Sister who lives there,had bought Aldi Cereal.It was a bit rank for me,I reckon it would have choked my Horse. Tonymc

I use Supa coat and never have any problems at all.It"s obvious the agression is not linked to feeding Supa Coat. Tonymc

I fed my pup exactly what your Breeder recommended.I can"t see a problem with raw mince.Being wary of whats in the raw mince should not be a problem if you are buying it from a reputable source. Tonymc

I wonder about where your Mum"s Friend is coming from.Yes she has be made aware of the dangers of overfeeding the Dog but still has not changed.This tells me she has been told verbally.Some People respond better to a Visual message so maybe if possible is there any literature showing the dangers of what she is doing? Your Mum"s friend may also have some overiding belief within herself causing her to do this that may need to be examined Tonymc

At the moment while I am in Adelaide I am paying $3.00 for a 12Kilo box of Chicken frames which I cut in half for my 12 week old Pup. Tonymc

You did the right thing under the circumstances.I know in situations like these People blame themselves but any guilt and blame is false as it was not your Fault.That may seem little consolation to you at the moment I know.Think of it this way as you still have something very valuble!!!That something very valuble is your life!!!You still have your life and will be able to go on and do much good with it for other Animals.

I had the same thing with a Pup not wanting to eat the Dry Food.I did two things.One was to use Grav-ox and pour it over the Dry food and the other was to mix mince through the dry food. Tonymc

yes it makes me wonder what Petfood Company is behind this?Like some of the other posters I in my own Dogs for years have seen them do much better on a Barf type Diet. Tonymc
