Sounds like alot going on in your house, without much regularity to it. Ie, you going to work at different times, for different lengths of time. And getting up at 3 am aint going to help you either. You say you put him back in the crate, well, leave him in there overnight til you get up in the morning, or put him somewhere where there's no carpeting for him to soil, I leave all my pups in the hallway in the crate with door open. The quicker you get into a set routine, and stick to it, the quicker the pup will learn
I think he’s just getting big enough to be left most of the night mate as he is holding it quite well atm so will start to reduce getting up so early.
Considering getting my old spaniel from my mums and leaving her with him for a few weeks so he has some company to settle him down.

You tried a radio on when you leave it? Or old alarm clock ticking away in its bed?
Yes mate,
hes just very clingy pup, even with a kong full of food he would drop that and try to come with you as you leave instead.
Its nice to have a pup that’s so keen to be with you, I’m just worried he won’t grow out of it and he could have a habit of howling for a long time.

When I first got my pup he howled alot when we went to bed or left alone I left it 3 days and then I got a water spray bottle and just told him a firm no and a couple of sprays with that he soon learnt that howling gets him a spray so stopped. Had to do the same with my bull x when I first got him it took a month to break the behaviour but he got it and just stopped doing it one night. Little things like water spray has a big impact. I prefer that way to going down and "roughing" a dog up as it were.
Someone has said to me might have to start the water bottle squirting, although someone else has said you don’t want to scare the pup as he’s only young.
Also how did you manage to spray him? I ideally want to avoid going into the room so he doesn’t thing whingeing means I come to him!

Got a new pup had him 3 weeks now,
first week almost he absolutely screamed and howled all night long, we ignored it as were told if we went down it would reinforce the behaviour.
After a few nights we got an Adaptil plug in and fair play he settled much better for a few nights but after that he started howling again but only for a few minutes.
Problem is he will also howl daytime any time he is left alone, he won’t howl for too long but it’s loud and don’t really want to fall out with the neighbours.
I often go into work late and he is only left for short times eg 10am - 12pm - then ill work from home in the afternoon so I can let him out frequently etc.
Also our lodger is a nurse is often home all day and will have him with her so he’s not left alone to cry much (she doesn’t go to him when he cries or whines).
Despite this he will still howl for a good 5-15 mins (sometimes longer) when left alone.
I currently get up around 3:00 - 3:30am to let him out to pee / poop as I read that he is currently too small (11 weeks atm) to hold it all night. Issue then is I put him straight back to the crate after toilet interview and once I leave he starts the howling again in the middle of the night
Not sure if this is something he will grow out of or if I need to do something before it turns into a habit that I’ll never get rid of!

You've pretty much weighed up the pro's and con's yourself. All personal preference, i've always used mesh but have mates that use bars with no problem. In regards to safety against theft, nothing is bulletproof, but if you're really worried about that aspect of things, get some cctv up and sensor alarms.
That's the thing mate, if someone wants them bad enough they'll get them regardless of what you've got.

Alright lads, not been on here for a while but know you lads have lots of experience with dogs etc so good to ask,
I'm looking to get a Mitton Hall Kennel, a blenheim for my springer spaniel pup - just not sure whether to get the mesh or the bars - mesh is £1325 and bars its £1525. Expensive but heard they'll pretty much last forever and would rather spend out once than have to replace wood in future etc.
Heard some dog can climb out of mesh - my spaniel climbed out of the "puppy pen" my mrs bought within about 5 minutes
but these have a roof so not sure that would be an issue?
Pro's and cons - I've been told bars are harder to cut but could be pried apart enough to get dog through, bars stop dogs jumping up but they could get their head (a spaniel) stuck between bars.
Mesh - some lads have said their dog can jump up and get their leg caught in it etc and also encourages jumping up that can't be done on bars, not as secure as could be cut but can't be pried open.
Really not sure ... does anyone have experience of both?

Has anyone put in a drain for kennels?
Want to get a kennel and run up in th garden before new pup comes, there is a drain pipe down the back of the house that collects rain water off the house, would I be able to run it into this or not?
Even if I can will it be on enough of a slope to drain the water away? I will measure the distance from the back of the house to the back of the garden in a bit but it’s not a huge garden, approx 5m. Currently mostly laid to slabs so I assume those would need to be lifted and have a trench dug down for the pipe?
Unfortunately the only rear access is through the house so likely need to be dug by hand

Is it the dogs pads or his feet?.
I don’t get ya sorry mate?
Its like inbetween the pads on his paws are red and irritation
-
Anyone know any remedies for irritated paws and possible allergies?
Out visiting family abroad and they have a lovely mastiff x ridgeback but he gets things like pollen on his paws and they get red and inflamed - he then licks them and they get worse.
Hes on Lorreradine anti histamine and some steroid (blue tablets - 20mg of presnisolone) but they’ve never got him good enough to just be on the anti histamine.
He also has his feet washed in Malaceb anti fungal wash once a week ish at least and more if he’s bad.
Issues they are having is that they can’t walk him that much as when he is out a lot it gets much worse and his feet really flare up - and they’re not too happy leaving him home all day.
When it is bad he can lick it a lot and get sores on his feet which can wheep and are open.
Aopreciate any remedies or tips

Too much oil (ghee) for me, bloody swimming in the stuff so don't have it very often!
Not to bad if you make your own but it don't taste the same!
Chinese ain't no better, most their sauces jammed full of sugar!
Fast takeaway food one of the main reasons for obesity in this country I reckon!

They are steroid supplements used mainly in the bodybuilding world mate.Even these guys who claim "natural" are probably still taking protein shakes as they are undetectable in most drugs tests
why would a protein shake show up in a drug test
They're a natural product from making milk and are just the skim off the milk, contains protein same as chicken, beef or fish!
Not sure if your actually serious or taking the piss
Sorry I thought protein shakes were banned for natural athletes but I've looked it up there and i think I was getting it confused with another banned strength supplement called creatine.
Stop pulling people legs

no mate definietly not annoyed but you seemed annoyed in your 1st couple of texts.
You seemed to be very annoyed for someone who doesn't care about the sport lol.
i just thought that it was kind of ironic that a man who has been taking drugs and all the negitive effects it has to try and be the greatest is not lifting as much in comparison to his body weight as somebody natural.
Strength doesn't exactly go up directly proportionally to weight, it doesn't work like that.
excellent that is.how heavy is eddie hall,? because in comparison to body weight i bet natural man is lifting more.hahahahaYour delusional if you think all those sports are natural. Lance Armstrong was doping giving him a huge advantage but the bloke 2 seconds behind him is all natural?
I wish I was as innocently minded.
For anyone who wants to see natural tested athletes records I've posted a link below. Think the top deadlift record is in the 120kg weight class and they pulled 325kg
http://www.wdfpf.co.uk/partners/Records/3)WDFPF%20Deadl%20UN.pdf
A rank amateur starting from scratch could get upto a 200kg in a couple of months, going from a 200-300kg deadlift might take years.
Dunno what the "hahaha" is for? Just again shows you don't understand how it all works...
what are the natural men closest to eddie ''the drug cheat hall'' lifting.?
i don't know anything about the sport your right on that.
I do think the bloke lifting naturally in the 125kg match is a beast tho!
Is he 'better' than Hall? That's like comparing a greyhound to a race horse, it's a different kettle of fish!
do you use them.?
No mate, I do power lifting tho, have several friends in that BDFPA who compete. Was going to compete but been very busy with uni and not as strong as I was ATM.
Just finished and getting back into it, hopefully will compete in the future, in the natural leagues.
I wouldn't be annoyed by Hall having stronger lifts than me, I'd just know it's not really comparable.
good on you for being natural and good luck with it.
do you know what the natural lifters are lifting that are closest to eddie halls weight.?
I don't think many people go over the 125kg mark, at that point I think the weight class is 125kg+ and just goes up unlimited.
Nobody goes up that high though as at that weight unless your enhanced your just adding lots and lots of fat and not getting that much benefit for it.
Everyone will have a natural genetic potential, if you want to keep going and going you've got to go enhanced or you can stay a more "normal" weight and just keep trying to increase strength.
There are some very strong lads out there, what's more impressive IMO is the tiny guys who can lift 2x body weight etc for lifts, very impressive!

don't mean nothing to me then.just who can do the most drugs.not exactly glory to me.
The fact that you thought they could even be anywhere near that level and be natural shows how litter you know about it! I doubt they're worried what you think.

is it all natural.?
About as natural as a woman with a cock!
Regardless it's some achievement, not like the rest are all natural is it? You've got to be enhanced to be at that level!

Couldn't give a shit if im honest. Same story time and time again. Load of poor c**ts will be bombed and displaced. They will do there best to flee and folk will moan like f**k about refugees.
China and North Korea have a treaty agreement than if one is attacked the other will militarise to help it.
If Trump bombs N.Korea and all shit hits the fan dragging us in with him we might be the poor c**ts being bombed in retaliation!

Then the OP is not feeding enough of it.
You can feed the best food in the world but if the dog doesn’t get enough kcals (you don’t feed a big enough quantity of that food) the dog won’t put no weight on.
