Lucas Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Just us two tonight. Let's me watch what I want to watch, doesn't talk or show me Facebook videos whilst I'm trying to watch it and doesn't ask me what I fancy for tea in four night's time. Great company.

Lucas Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Cicero said: Both Don't want to tell you how to suck eggs but from my experience, this is what I'd say. Sorry if it's a bit overkill. Sounds a bit simple but puppy proof your place before they come. Anything you don't want chewed, make sure its off the floor. They will be inquisitive when they check out your home and the amount of times I've said they won't touch that and they have is unbelievable. When you bring it home, if there is a blanket that his its mothers scent on, that will help it settle in your home. No big drama's if not. Naturally your daughter will want to play all the time with it. That's fine. At that age they just can't control when they go toilet so just be aware when they are getting excited and worked up, to stick them out in the garden after 15/20mins of play to avoid accidents. Just on getting them excited too, not sure how old your daughter is but they are very bitey when they are young. Tell her to be careful when she keeps waving her hands and fingers around its face, they just think your playing otherwise. Make sure they got some chewy toys they can play/bite into. Make sure they go out first thing when you get up and before bed so they get used to going to toilet at these times. Keep a couple water bowls out whilst they are getting used to things so they keep their fluids up. I'm assuming you will probably get a crate for the puppy, which if you do, you want it to get used to going in there so don't sbut the door unless its at night so they can get used to walking in and out. Never make them scared to go in it though as punishment if naughty. Equally if they cry and howl at night, you kinda need to put up with it initially so they know your not weak. Try not to mix up the diet too much because then they will get fussy and think if they don't want it, you'll just give them something else. There are certain things under no circumstance can you feed them, like human chocolate, grapes etc as its poisonous so familiarise yourself with these things. Don't overdo it on treats initially, more as rewards for going toilet outside or when they learn to sit and stay. They are going to have accidents, its natural. Just try be patient with that till they grasp it, and they will. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my daughter's birthday. 8 weeks old upon pickup. If you have a back door to your garden then placing the dog's puppy pads beside it will be beneficial. I put a bell on my back door and whenever the dog went outside to do the toilet I'd ring the bell. Eventually he figured out that ringing the bell means outside so now he rings the bell every time. Watch YouTube videos on puppy training for that particular dog if you can, if not generic videos will be fine. Get yourself a shit tonne of dog treats because they're going to be required to get the dog trained up on sit, recall etc As above, with crate training, you can initially put the crate in beside where you sleep to get the pup comfortable with it then as the nights get better and better you can move it slowly to where you want its permanent place to be. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted January 28, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted January 28, 2021 Around our daughters watching wee Kaiden while our daughter was moving bits and pieces into her new flat, her 2 new pet rats Sushi & Zoom were giving me the evil eye wanting out of there cage for a run-around, no danger, our daughter can control them better than me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted January 29, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted January 29, 2021 The wife managed to call around our daughters and see her favourite pet rat in Charamanda, the oldest one who may not have long to go as she is over two years old and slow, it's bloody weird as soon as she sees the wife she gets frantic to get out of the cage and when she does she is all over the wife with tiny squeaks and nuzzles into the wife and gives her wee kisses, it's a joy to see and to think once upon a time the wife was petrified of rats or mice, not nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUFC Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 What is your view on dogs being kept indoors or outdoors? I'm not an expert but people have debated this. Most keep their dogs indoors all the time, only taking them out for walks, relieve themselves and to play/exercise. Obviously some dogs can't stay out as they don't do well in the heat or their fur is too short for the cold. What's your view? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on circumstances (e.g. climate, type of housing, the breed of the dog, etc.), but in general, dogs are pack animals who need to socialise, bond and interact with other members of the pack, so surely if you spend most of the time indoors yourself, that's also where your dog should be? Now if you have a house with a backyard or something along those lines, and spend time both inside and outside, then giving your dog the freedom to go back and forth seems to be ideal...
