  1. Go back to the vet and get him to refer you to an orthopedic,you get get the leg operated on
  2. If the pup is itchy.it might have something called walking dandruff.it,s cause by a mite.the vet will give you the right treatment
  3. Sounds like you pup has a urine infection.it needs anti biotics
  4. you can also throw the ball behind you and send the pup.As he picks it up keep walking away and as he comes in crouch down and make a fuss of him.If he picks something up in the house you don;t want him to.Exchange for a toy.Never tell him off.Enjoy your pup
  5. The eye looks like it has a slight lack of pigment in the eye.This is perfectly normal and will have no effect on it eye sight
  6. Take it out with another dog that retrieves out side.Let it watch and then put the older dog on the lead.Move away from it.Throw the ball a little way,crouch down and call the pup when the ball is in it mouth.Loads of praise and then repeat.
  7. Barb wire trick will work.It won;t chase anything after that.Not even a tennis ball
  8. Does she associate lowd bangs,fireworks with the dark.
  9. We had one on our shoot.The guns loved it.They always knew something was just about to flush.This was a big shoot.
  10. Get the kids to call the pup,puppy.They will keep repeating it untill it means nothing.Only you should use it;s proper name
  11. I;ve bought 3 pups from him in the last 14 years and they have all been big fat healthy pups.
  12. sit on a chair,dummy in one had treats in the other.If the dog touches the dummy give it a treat.If the dog mouths the dummy give it a treat.He will make the conection between holding the dummy and getting a treat.Once he understands what you want add the word hold.Do this everyday for a week.Indoors or in a small area. Drop the dummy on the floor and tell the dog to hold.When he pics it up exchange for food.You can make a game of it and hide it and then use the hold word.When this has been properly learnt you can try it outside..before you move on makes sure the dog understands fully what yo
  13. crouch down and offer her food.What ever you do,don;t grab her and while she is eating,put your hand underneath her chin to clip the lead on,not over her head.If you grab at her,it will make her hand shy and she will start to circle you.Once they become hand shy their recall can take months to sort out
  14. Before i leave home,i always tell them on the phone if the pup is;nt right i wont be having one.I know within 5 minutes wether they are right or not.I don;t waste time there and just leave
  15. what a horrible injury.You must be gutted
  16. Put some treats in your pocket and every time you say it;s name feed it.If you have kids,tell them to call it puppy,other wise they will keep saying it;s name and ruin any recall training you are doing.Clicker training is amazing.Have a look on you tube
  17. we have a german shepherd near where i live and she ties it to the push chair, and when it see;s another dog it goes ballistic.It is about 5 years old and a complete pain in the asrse.I told her to give it a ball to carry and when it see;s another dogl ,it bites down on the ball and is now silent.
  18. could you please put it on the found section of doglost ta
  19. buy a dog head collar and hold it tight up to his chin,it will give you a lot more control.Once he;s had a run he should settle
  20. That made me smile seeing her.My friend was one of the ones that booked her.But her boyfriend wanted a beardie/grey.So thats what they went home with.Glad to see her in a nice home.I own Arthurs litter sister
  21. Also if your pup gets hold of something you don;t want it to.Call it towards you and exchange for something it can have.I never use any negatives on my dogs and they bring anything and everything to me.Most gun dogs are ruined by the time they are 12 weeks old,where retrieving is concerned because people think they learn like humans.If you think dog all the time you will go far.
  22. when you go and get the pup,take her with you and get her to hold the pup on the way home.If it throws up you might have to try a different tactic though
  23. ok i;ll put it another way.Drinking lots of water tops ya tits up
