Random need to hump

Hello everyone! 2 weeks ago we got phin neutered. That procedure went well and phin has made almost a full recovery. He went in for his follow up and the vet was very happy with his incision and how it was healing. This leads me to the reason of…Continue
Bark Collar

Considering getting a bark collar for our little dood who barks at seriously anything, including leaves blowing in the wind. Our other guy does not bark at all, until Phin gets him going. We are constantly having to shut all the blinds in the house…Continue

Yeti has an ear infection a few weeks back and the vet gave us some drops to put in it. I feel like it still hasn’t completely healed up, but Yeti doesn’t seem to be bothered by it anymore. Tonight I noticed yeti would not leave phins ears alone so…Continue

Hello all! It has been awhile since we have posted. It seems we are starting to have a major problem on our hands. Yeti (almost 3 years old) has recently started to become pretty aggressive. He has always guarded things of value (bully sticks and…Continue

Professional grooming dryers

I have been considering buying a grooming dryer for quite some time. I think it will come in handy with 2 doodles. I was curious how long it takes those who use a professional dryer to dry their doodles.Continue

I have noticed within the last week or so that Phin has been rather itchy. Some days I dont notice it at all, and others (like tonight) he has been crazy itchy. He has been on the same food (even same flavor) for months (wellness turkey and potato).…Continue

Does anyone's dogs have a problem with this. Yeti used to do it here and there, but for reasons unknown he has been out of control lately. Looking for suggestions on ways to get him to stop. He has always had puppy friends, some hes liked more than…Continue

DK wont let me search for anything so here I am making a new discussion.Just curious what YOU do when your dog throws up. Do you withhold food, or water, or both? Do you give your pup something to sooth his/her stomach. If so what? Do you call the…Continue

"Exactly why I want to get this under control. We know when and when we shouldnt bother him, but if people are over and dont know, things could get bad quick."
"I know that from the many doodles given up to DRC because of resource guarding issues that escalated to snapping and even biting. And that includes dogs who bit their owners for just petting them when they weren't "in the mood". "
"It escalates to biting quickly too. Within days of DD starting to crawl Luna air snapped at her..and this was a dog with no prior history of defensive behavior."

Actually, sounds rather normal from my experience. But a good idea to start your relationship with your vet. It couldn't hurt to get him checked out. I think your long car ride was an excellent opportunity for some early bonding. I was looking forward to a long car ride to pick up our new pup, but had to cancel this car vacation because of health problems in my husband's family. I am going to fly up to get the pup. We will still have plenty of time to bond.
