Better join a circus or something so :P
On a side note, he's stopped eating his poop since we got the crate :P Mind you, we supervise him constantly outside now and he's also on cereal-free JWB and loves it! Partner hates the smell of it but I quite like it. Amazing how it literally smells how it should (fresh fish).
Took him out this morning and he was fine until it started raining. He just stood there, sorta like a bitch squatting, and looked up at me like ".... no

Aw, great to hear he's stopped that! As I said, Nyssa had quite the habit coming out of the big rescue, but she seems to have stopped it completely now. They were feeding Select Gold in the rescue, which would be similar to Hills or RC, but Maxi Zoo's own brand, and as I said, leaving everyone to their own devices in the kennels from around 5pm til 8am, so what would you expect :rolleyes:ShaShaBear wrote: »On a side note, he's stopped eating his poop since we got the crate :P Mind you, we supervise him constantly outside now and he's also on cereal-free JWB and loves it!

She's been on raw for 2 months now, and finally seems to have completely dropped the habit, thankfully
Poor little fella sure seems to hate the bad weather right now, as I said, I wouldn't push it apart from toilet breaks for the moment. No real point in the walks at that age if the pup doesn't enjoy them

His energy spurts at the minute are so short, I just play fetch on the stairs and do a few commands and he's out cold in the crate for hours

When I found out he was older, I upped it to a 25min walk, only once a day seeing as it's very hard to manage two of them with a buggy while he is still being lead-trained
I don't have the baby today (nana's day ) so I went to take him out and he literally yelped and cried and huddled the WHOLE way down our driveway and kept trying to shelter himself from the rain. I took him back inside and now he is glued to the radiator
What do you guys do when a dog doesn't want to go for a walk?
A word of warning, you shouldn't walk a dog an hour before and especially an hour after eating as this is known to cause bloat in dogs. Basically their insides flip and strangle themselves and death usually occurs within 24hrs. Genuinely not trying to scaremonger but know of several dogs this has happened to.0 -

It's not straight after, don't worry - I actually leave it at least an hour to make sure his bowels are ready to move on the walk, I meant I walk him after his feeds, not before them
Usually he eats at 9am, and is walked at around 11.30am after my daughter's feed so they are both ready to go out, and he is fed last at 6pm, and I take him out around 7.30pm once my daughter has gone to bed and Daddy is home to mind her 0 -

ShaShaBear, just realised it was you who posted, never looked at the name. From what I've seen of you on here i would have known you knew that; I obviously read your post too literally, sorry 0 -

Jaysus, you know you've been on Boards too long when people recognise your username
Don't apologise at all, there's plenty I don't know and despite all my know-it-all supreme posts, I've only owned two dogs, and fostered four
In many cases I know to do/not do something and have absolutely no idea why/why not 0 -
