Advice needed regarding trainer

Hi, I am hoping to be able to get some advice here - I hope I have posted this in the right place. It isn't about actually training my Charlie, but advice that I really need for how to now deal with my local day care. The short version of Charlie's history is that he is a Tri-pawd from 10 weeks old,...

Re: Dog with loads of issues

Hi Princesskitten and Alfie! You have taken on a huge challenge, but if it is anything like me and my Charlie, every little bit of progress feels like we have won the lottery. Charlie is now 6 months old, but was originally a pound rescue with mum and 9 siblings, to a shelter, where we adopted him f...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

Sorry for the even bigger delay again! But, ya know, life! (and my laptop died a slow painful death too, so that didn't help! :roll: ) Charlie is now 6 months old and now 13.6kg as of 2 days ago when he went in to be neutered! As he is a Tri-pawd, he needs an inflatable collar and a normal one from ...

Re: Puppy panics for a while after we leave the house

Reading down through all of those messages, and I was just like, yup, been there and done that (minus the "other" dog). Charlie is now 6 months old and still doesn't get left alone! Most people think I am genuinely mad when I say I can't do X cuz I have Charlie, or when I arrive to collect...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

I can't believe it has been a month since I have had time to post here! To say it has been a crazy month would be an understatement! Granda was in hospital and was then diagnosed with lung cancer, while my mum (his main hospital-appointment and organiser of everything for him) is in Australia, and i...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

On a whim, I tried literally going back in my browser and the text was all still in a previous page! :lol: :lol: :lol: On the idea of the de-briefing, whatever it is in regards to, I always maintain that you should get the information - either reading some different sources or a seminar, or video, o...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

Omg, you have got to be kidding me! I just spend the last like 45 minutes writing a reply, including a few [minor] dramas we had in this last few days and I clicked submit, went to the loo, and came back and it has disappeared! :cry: I could cry right now :cry: I think I will just make a cuppa and h...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

We did get the bells for the door, but only just his toileting was literally everywhere around the kitchen, but when we first put them up, all he wanted to do was play tug-a-war with them, so we had to take them down. In the last week, he had started sitting beside the back door, but from where I wo...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

Emma, at present we are sleeping in what is technically the second reception room, which has double doors off our kitchen/dining room (we only moved in in Jan and it was easier to decorate the downstairs first so we could get out of the rented place asap!) so one of the double doors is open, and his...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

Oh heavens! I hadn't thought of that!! :lol: :lol: It is something he will probably try and he used to do this weird thing where he would lift one leg to start scratching while walking along, and then promptly loose his balance, fall over and just lie there and scratch his ears! :lol: :lol: Life is ...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

It might have been tips (t i p s) I had written - oh well - I'm just nosey! :lol: Life has taught me that is doesn't do any good to stress over or dwell on things I can't change. Sometimes it is easier said than done, but when it comes to things like his - I find it easy enough to just go with it! T...

Re: Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

Guys thanks for all the tips and advice and sorry this has taken so long - I am still shocked at how long it takes to do stuff with a puppy in the house! :roll: Most important point - photos! :D I tried to upload them into the forum but they are too big (and then had some technical difficulties with...

Re: Puppy teeth and food adjustment question

My rescue puppy Charlie is approx 13/14 weeks and our vet was able to tell us that during his recent 17 night stay in the vets, he lost a lot of his baby teeth while literally chewing on the bars. (He's not keen on being alone or being bored, so he literally just gnaws on the bars and makes a sort o...

Training my Tri-Pawed Puppy!

This is my first post in here, so I'm not too sure what I'm doing, but here goes! Bit of background to explain our situation: 22 March 2017 - myself and my boyfriend, Tony, collected our puppy from the shelter about 90 mins away. They said he was approx 9 weeks. Mum and litter of 10 were from rescue...
