    Primrose Puppy Log

    I have some pamphlets to read from the vet on some more natural meds (is that even a thing?!) to help anxiety that she would like to try first. We had started down this path right before the pandemic with separation anxiety, which of course was a non issue ever since, as we’ve been home. I took...

    Maxx the hero guard dog

    Good job Maxx! That’s so scary! I’ve heard that the best deterrent is a dog - no matter the breed.

    Primrose Puppy Log

    Primrose is 5 months old! We had really great training sessions last night and this morning - working on walking on leash alone and with Quinn and counter surfing. She’s been sleeping on the main floor where it’s much cooler (she runs hot) and OH is not disturbing her when he gets up for work as...

    Biting and mouthing is really wearing me down

    To be fair, that's pretty funny! 😆

    Biting and mouthing is really wearing me down

    Natalie, I don't really have any advice - just to say that it's crazy how different they are, isn't it! When he bites/jumps at you have you considered a time out? I'm wondering if he is might be over tired and acting out? There are lots of training tips online about appropriate time outs. For...

    Puppy present

    The snuggle pup helped us so much in settling Prim into her crate overnight - as well as several of her littermates. My cousin got a puppy a week after we did and they also got this and it helped a lot the first few weeks! Great gift! Both Prim and my cousin's pup still sleep with it (just as...

    Puppy present

    @Naya ’s suggestion is good! I also recommend some puppy chews and/or some sort of puzzle game or snuffle mat - stuff to keep the little guy busy!

    A day without my dog!

    Sounds like both you and GGJ had a great time! I hope that I have similar adult adventures with my step daughters one day!

    Primrose Puppy Log

    They are very cute together - Quinn plays with her a lot and Prim is obsessed with her and now does a lot of similar behaviors, esp when playing. But I think the whole thing is a bit stressful for her. She’s already a sensitive dog and she can’t settle or sleep if Prim barks (she tries to get...

    Primrose Puppy Log

    Yes, she definitely didn’t jump up and pull down the bag of meds from the vet and tear them up either.

    Primrose Puppy Log

    Primrose is now 20 weeks. She had her rabies shot today and apparently knocked over a vet tech to give kisses 😬 She is very OTT with jumping and biting hasn’t let up a ton. She is teething still so I’m hoping that those last teeth coming out and working on calm behaviors will help over time. I...

    Watermelon, anyone??

    Hearing crunching is good - he didn't gulp it whole. Hopefully another non-issue!

    Primrose Puppy Log

    Now 19 weeks - full set of new front teeth and so big 😭😭 trying to manage jumping up to take things from the counter and running to/jumping on people. It’s really hard to walk them both together - they pull and zig zag and it’s exhausting training. She’s very good solo on leash, but will pull...

    Lylas first season..

    @nayasminime I’m interested in how Lyla’s first season goes - it is not typical here to have a bitch go through a season so I’m very nervous about Prim. I do live in the city and it’s highly populated, so I’m worried about walking, phantom pregnancy and all that. I will be a nervous wreck from 7...
