How cute! Congratulations :)

Exciting!! I’d have a crate in the bedroom for nighttime, at the least. I wouldn’t let the pup sleep in a room alone. If you can’t get a crate in time then a very large plastic tub would do for the bedroom, while the pup is small.

Oh you poor thing. Don’t worry, you’re getting this sorted and he will soon be feeling good as new. I’m sure that he’ll be in very competent hands, whichever option you go with (though The Ralph sounds pretty great!).

I admit that when I read your update I interpreted “her little bimbles” as a cute term for her feet. Then I remembered that “bimble” is British for “a casual, meandering walk”. But I do like it as a word for cute dog feet so I think I will repurpose it.

Good that you have some options. I’d look at their qualifications. You could also chat to your vet about their experiences with these specialists. If they’ve recommended them they’re probably both good options.

Great to hear that it’s helping!

Yes, get two. If I do clicker stuff with my horse I use two (they need a lot of treats!!).

That’s great!!! Definitely bend it frequently, as much as the swelling will allow. Gotta get those joints doing their thing so you get full mobility back.

He’ll warm up to it 😁

We use the Doggone Good ones. Plenty of hidey holes for things. They hold up well and can be easily washed in the machine. https://www.traininglines.co.uk/doggone-good-rapid-rewards-training-treat-pouch.html

I’m so sorry for you, Quinn and Mack’s family :(

I’m sorry :( It’s very hard to lose such a long-standing (and original) member of your crew.... What a pretty girl Violet was.

Glad you were able to resolve it, Helen. It is not easy, as you know!

It’s impossible to be present constantly to prevent these inherently rewarding behaviours. That’s why managing the environment to reduce the opportunities for barking, the intensity of the contact and/or the distance of the target (the other dog) is a sensible step to take. Also, you have to...

Dogs are really good at hiding significant pain, carrying on with normal behaviours... We really have to treat injuries to dog teeth the same way we’d treat similar injuries to our own teeth... Unfortunately, non-specialist vets often don’t know much about teeth and wrongly suggest a wait and...

Agree, try emery (spelling??) boards. Slow, but low stress. Just do a toe or two at a time if you want to.

Sounds worth a go for sure! At the very least a bit more distance and the lack of a common fence line will help, even if it may not have much to do with who ‘owns’ that area. Modifying the environment is always a great option to try.

Canines have a massive root....

Throws are ok. Sofas ok if either style or colour are identical. 😉

If I had two dogs it’d drive me bonkers if the two beds didn’t match exactly 😂
