    what happens to a puppy if you don't train it

    I hope so. I'd like to see myself with a nice shaggy mongrel when I'm older and more settled. I just hope my boyfriend's not too disappointed. I'll have to train the hamsters to unicycle.

    what happens to a puppy if you don't train it

    I keep suggesting rats but as the boyfriend's Korean he thinks it's a bit weird. Even gerbils are far out here. We have miniature hamsters. They don't do much though.

    i´m guessing most of the members here are american...Q

    I'm British. I can't remember the last time I saw puppies sold in a petshop (except here in South Korea where it's common).

    what happens to a puppy if you don't train it

    Yes I guessed it'd be very bad for a dog and that was my reason for not wanting one. I just wanted to phrase it bluntly to get truthful answers from you all. More answers would be good. A few years down the line, with a house and a garden I think I'd be happy to have a nice adult rescue dog...

    what happens to a puppy if you don't train it

    I'm after more advice. We had an English Cocker spaniel puppy for a week but we had to return him to his previous loving owner. I broke a bone in my foot and I couldn't clean up after him or take him outside (we live in a flat on the 5th floor). I'm writing this in Seoul. I'm going to be here...

    Important question- need all your opinions!

    So basically do you think an adult dog can be left alone all day but it's not such a good idea with a 2 or 3 month old puppy?

    Important question- need all your opinions!

    Some people say you absolutely should not leave a dog alone for a whole working day. Other people say you can do it. What is your opinion and do you think that adult dogs can be left but puppies can't. (also specify how you feel about dogs kept inside and dogs kept in gardens) I need as many...

    A high rise puppy. Advice please.

    I live in a 5th floor flat in Korea and my boyfriend and I want to have a puppy. We had an English cocker spaniel but had to return him because I broke my foot and couldn't look after him. He wasn't the best kind of dog for a flat really because he was too big and energetic. Well the energetic...

    broke my foot!/puppy handling

    :( We've decided to return him the original owners and get a smaller younger dog when I recover. We made an unwise choice for such a small apartment. (I know it's bad keeping dogs in apartments but everyone does it in asia because very few people have houses with gardens) I feel sad but it's...

    broke my foot!/puppy handling

    I've been getting great advice here. Thanks guys. I have a bit of a problem. I've broken a bone in my foot. I'll be in plaster 6 weeks. My boyfriend has a demanding work schedule and I'm in a foreign country. So basically it's me in sole charge of the puppy. He's somewhere between 6 and 12...

    He snaps

    What's the best way to stop a puppy snapping? My English Cocker Spaniel's teeth are already quite sharp and I'm worried that if we don't get him under control now he could really upset someone when he's older.

    My puppy barks and howls at strangers who try to pet him

    My puppy barks and howls at strangers who try to pet him. I guess he's scared and I haven't introduced him to enough new people yet. When he does it I instinctively hold his shoulders and stroke him and get him to calm down. My friend says it's better to hit him because I'm condoning his...

    English Cocker Spaniel in Seoul

    Hello, I'm a British girl in Seoul. For 2 days now my boyfriend and I have had one and half month old English Cocker Spaniel. We live in a flat on the 5th floor so he needs to be trained to go to the toilet on a litter tray or newspaper. I don't want to slap him or punish him. I prefer positive...
