I’m going on a backpacking trip this weekend with my older dog, and 9 week old puppy as well. I am keeping this trip to a short one, but I have a feeling I will be doing a lot more carrying the pup than her actually hiking, not only because of her stamina but also don’t want to take any risks of her...

I know I’m not the only person that has ever had a dog like this that just will not accept the kennel. I know some of you advise to sleep next to the kennel on the floor with her for a couple of nights in the same room, but my wife and I need our sleep because we are so busy during the days, so the ...

I'm going through the same thing right now, once she is in the kennel, without fail she screams barks howls, anything to make noise for about 30-45 minutes, than shell finally quiet down for about an hour than wake up and go through it all over again. So far I have just been playing the "ignore her"...

Man, I would live "too much retrieve" in my dogs. I'm struggling with any retrieve at all... Haha

I know every dog is different, and different techniques work on each individual dog, but when it comes to crate training, what are some techniques that you all use to teach your dog “kennel” and also to teach them not to whine in the crate? I have tried multiple things, but nothing has helped her fe...

Our older puppy is finally starting to warm up to Oakley, (9 week old GSP) and they have started to wrestle with each other. My question is, how much rough house do you allow between a much bigger 50 pound dog and a 10 pound puppy. I have no problem with them running around playing outside, but I do...

Is it normal for my puppy to spaz out when I put her in the kennel? I cant get her to want to go in there for anything, treats, food, ect... Nothing has been working. I have had to basically force her to go in there, but what other techniques can I use so it doesnt seem so bad for her to be in there...

trasmuson

Yes at night we crate the older dog. He wouldn't have it any other way. We store them in our storage space under our stairs. Last night we left her in her crate next to the older one and she whined about 10 minutes after we put her in there, than she finally calmed down. About 3 hours later, woke up...

So just a little update of our pup. She slept with us last night, but I think that was a one time thing and she'll have to handle the crate from now on at night. I'm just nervous that she will never stop whining... Will the whining eventually stop? I am going to put an old shirt in there with her to...

Does your dogs urine kill your grass? There are so many dead spots in my yard due to him peeing there. What do you guys do to protect your lawn from this? I am a new home owner, so I dont know the tricks and techniques... Thank you for your help.

Are any of you like me when you are getting a new puppy? I will be getting my first gun dog come this June. The pups were born last week, and I am worse than a child on Christmas Eve. I cannot wait for it! Are any of you guys like this? And what do you do to pass the time until it comes day to pick ...

How young do you start introducing your pup to the gun shot? I will be getting my first gun dog here in a couple of months and want to be as prepared as possible, so I was just wondering how soon I should introduce her to the shot, and what is the best method to do so? I don't want to just go out in...

I was wondering, can you just buy a transmitter itself to an e-collar? While I was out training this morning, I was on a river bank throwing the bumper in a river for my dog and I don't have a holster for the controller yet, so I had it in my pocket of my hoodie, as I bent down to pick up the bumper...

I would take the pup to work with me for a month or better as long as you can swing it. Mine would stay with me until they were about 6 months old or so. I have done this with all my pups but I mostly get pups in the winter time. I'd never kennel a pup with an adult dog - too much at stake with the...

What is everyone's thoughts on leaving the pup in an out door run with another dog? The dog is a mutt, very friendly dog, about a 50 pound dog. Are there any thoughts on that? Does anyone here kennel their dogs together? We plan on taking the new pup with us to work for the first month or so, but af...

I totally agree that the people he jumps up on are the ones to blame, and I don't know about you, but it is so frustrating to me when your trying to train your dog, but other people around you let him do exactly the opposite of what you are trying to teach him. But at the same time, i take blame and...

I know I have commented on here before about this same situation, but I am still having the hardest time keeping my dog from jumping up on people when he gets excited. He is about 1 and ½ years old now but still hasn’t figured out that jumping up on people is unacceptable. He doesn’t have this probl...

How many of you use one of these for your dog kennel?

http://www.gundoghousedoor.com/easy_dog_kennel.php

What are the advantages/disadvantages to having one of these? Do you have a dog house build onto the back of the kennel?

trasmuson

ultracarry, thats the only think is I dont know if I would be able to catch in the act in order to give him a shock. Would you set him up to do it so that you can catch him in the act, or just wait and see if you could? If so, how would you set him up?

trasmuson

I like that idea as well of running another chainlink fence to block off the fence, and that is probably the best idea. He is a rescue dog, so he is a pretty timid dog, so i probably wouldnt use the collar on him anyway. He is about 16 month old GSP/Lab mix. Should he have grown out of this chewing ...

trasmuson

Thank you everyone for the comments. I wish that I could leave the e collar on him and catch him in the act, unfortunately I dont really see that working out because we are never home when he stays in the kennel. We are gone for too many hours during the day to leave him in his crate all day, so tha...

So I have been getting extremely frusturated with my dog lately. We just moved into our brand new house, and I build a indoor/outdoor kennel. Half of the kennel is in my garage, and half is outside in our backyard where I laid a cament slab. Seperating the two kennels is one of those doggie doors wi...

In your guys opinion and experience, what is the most sensative dog? When I say sensative, I mean what breed can handle more pressure than others? Positive and negative punishment? Are there certain breeds out there that you have to be careful to how you train them so that they aren't timid dogs? Ju...

So this is kind of random, and I am not sure how to explain it, but here it goes. So I am building my first home right now, and had them put in a doggie door on the side of our house that leads into our garage. Now I am going to have an outdoor dog run on the outside of the dog door. My question is,...

Thanks everone, I appreciate the responses. Yes, I do have another dog, male. He is fixed, and I am planning on fixing our next dog as well.

What are everyones thoughts on kenneling two dogs together in their outdoor dog run?

Hey everyone, I am fairly new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good breeder for a GSP.

Thanks everyone for the information. I'm not looking to get one quite yet. Probably within the next six months we will be ready to get one.

I am feeding him 3 cups a day, 1 and a half in the morning and in the evening. And we give him a mix of science diet and natural balance. Any recommendations on what kind of food to feed him?

trasmuson

He's an active dog, and is not latargic at all, but he is a little on the underweight size, but not too much. I guess its just me being a worried first time solo dog owner so its been on my mind. I appreciate the comments. What kind of food do you recommend me to switch him to on adult food?

So my 9 month old puppy won't eat his food. We have him on a schedule where he eats twice a day, once in the morning and than again at night. I don't know why he wont eat it though.
