Sometimes he still drives us a little

I was meant to say sometimes he drives us a little crazy...

Hey everyone, Im Sarah, but all my friends call me Sez. I live in Devon in the UK with my OH Matt and the latest addition to the household; Charlie our 11week Collie x Lab puppy. http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz309/sez88/Charlie/17256_395557725225_885455225_104487.jpg After we had Charlie for a...

Yeah he is lovely...hard work, but lovely!

Thanks for all the advice everyone

We kept trying and he has done 2 wees outside today, no poos as yet but all is not lost. He have made the garden more secure (blocking off the top level where there are only hedges at the back with a railway track behind them) so I am happy to let him out without a lead (im still out with him though...

Hi, So I taught my puppy to go to the toilet on paper-I know, I know :roll: I did this because we were having to go to work and he couldnt hold himself because he had worms and diarrhea. Now the diarrhea has cleared up he is pooing near but not on the paper. Anyway whats done is done and I need to r...

Thank you for all your support guys, it does make me feel better to think that Im not the only one who has ever felt this way. I got home from work today to be greated by an excited puppy desperate for cuddles and a game, part way through our game I took a step back, I was smiling :) I can do it. I ...

Last night as a tried to get my puppy to stop biting me,jumping up, stop barking while we ate etc etc etc I felt like i was going crazy!! He calmed down and I was left in desperate tears as I wondered if i was in over my head. :cry: Dont get me wrong, we thought long and hard about the responisbilit...

I have tried ignoring Charlie when he gets like this as suggested but he just keeps on jumping up barking and then nips hands.
Should I leave the room, or put him in another room?

Im sure he just has too much energy and I cant wait untill we can take him out to run off some of this energy!!

Hiya :) Our 8 week pup has started having random crazy moments and we arent sure how to handle him when he does :? We know he is a puppy and needs attention, play time etc and we are doing our best to keep him entertained but I dont know what else to do. At various points in the day he seems to go a...

I dont think we will have the storage for Cahlie's food in freezer -we can hardly fit our own food in there!! I went and looked at lots of different foods today and think I found a pretty good one; Its called 'Barking Heads', the ingredients for the puppy food are as follows... Ingredients: Fresh Br...

Thanks emmabeth, I would love to have the time to prepare the food for Charlie myself but once Im back at work I'm worried I wont and I dont want to keep changing his diet all the time, so think its best if I start as I mean to go on. Just searched for Orijen, your right is it is a bit pricey!! haha...

Hey, First off just a quick thank you to everone who has helped out so far with my various puppyt questions, I have never had a dog before and want to do the best by him so appreciate all the help I can get. :) Right...back to the issue of food. What food is best to feed my pup? He is a collie x lab...

Hi everyone. I'm just wondering what we should do when it comes to mouthing; should we let him do it so long as its gentle (but then how far do we let it go) or do we stop play for a few secs EVERY time he mouths us? :? He is a 8 week pup has only lived with us for five days and he is doing brillian...

We did put him in our room in the end, but the problem came when as soon as we shut his crate he whined and whined. After 2 sleepless hours and shouting neighbours (who we had already spoken to to prepare them for the puppy's whines) we had decided to open the door because Matt needed to get some sl...
