    Emergency preparednes kits

    I'm in the middle of making my modular emergency preparedness kits and had am running into a wall thinking about the best way to prepare for 3 days (or even more) for my great dane. I thought about the possibility of freezing kibble, or better yet, coming up with a high calorie bar for my boy...

    Volhard "Natural Diet"

    that's my other issue. I would think that the nutrients they need would come from the variety of foods that we feed. I think the necessity for suplementation in her diet may be due to it being almost entirely beef based unless a dog is sick? ie, feeding a variety of meats and a few veggies would...

    Volhard "Natural Diet"

    It's so interesting once you start looking into raw and homemade diets for your dogs isn't it? Has anyone had any experience with Wendy Volhard's "Natural Diet" plan? I have some friends that show Bull Terriers for conformance and swear by the diet after seeing one of their dogs bounce back...

    First semi-raw meals

    Last night at dinner and this morning for breakfast, Guinness had his first raw food. It was mostly bone since we're starting very slowly. With the stomach issues we've had, I don't want to have a bigger problem from the raw. At each meal he had a chicken back, wing and I cut the breasts off the...

    Dog Intense!

    yeah, it's very nice. There's stores like Williams-sonoma, pottery barn, restoration hardware, really upscale restaurants, decor specialty shops, etc. The dogs are welcomed into all the businesses except the restaurants and grocery store. This center is also very close to the dog park, so some...

    Dog Intense!

    I'm not sure it's locking eyes, but i'll be sure to get a better observation tonight when we go to training. I think he just looks at them out of curiosity. He seems to get the idea when an unfriendly dog makes it clear that he doesnt' want to be messed with. I'll be more observant tonight and...

    Dog Intense!

    So Guinness is 11 months old now, has passed beginner obedience class and is doing quite well in Novice 1. We've been talking about looking for another training center or trainer because we're not into ring training. We actually would like to share him as a therapy dog. He does VERY well in...

    Kong toys and what to fill with?

    I usually make a mix of stuff for Guinness. He tears through a normal stuffing in no time...big ole great dane jaws just squeeze the stuff out. I usually put something like yogurt in the bottom, add kibble, then roast beef or some other tasty treat and top it off with some apple. You can freeze...

    Biting/Chewing problems

    sounds like she's getting enough exercise to me. I think she's just playing and doesn't quite get it yet. I assume you've tried the "stand up, turn your back and wait" trick. Sounds like it's just going to take some time. Keep it up.

    Biting/Chewing problems

    It sounds like your girl is not too excited about the choices of toys and may not be getting enough exercise. How's her exercise regimen? She's a lab and needs tons of it, but you already know that. One thing I've tried is putting up all but 4 toys at a time. One soft (squeeky kind), one hard...

    Bites when we try to move him

    Good news on the Guinness front. He seems to have all but stopped this habit. He only did it a couple times over the weekend, and those times where when he was very focused on a piece of grass or something and we simply didn't have time for him to finish playing. He seems to be responding to the...

    I have a question for everyone to ponder....

    I'll make an exception....just this once :lol-sign: Ok..are we done with this now? or does someone else have some whining about how life's not fair and they're owed stuff?

    Bites when we try to move him

    If it comes to that, I wouldn't hesitate to get a behaviorist involved. However, I'm not going to jump the gun on that. He's a 10 week old puppy who's learning his place in the world and in our home. I think it's a little much to ask him to always behave the way we want in less than three weeks...
