Guest TigerNet Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 ...right, he's been at home now for 2 weeks!!! He is absolutely fab, but much harder work than I imagined...I can't wait till he has his 2nd set of jabs and we can actually go out...getting a bit of cabin fever while stuck at home all the time... :shock: ...all advice from dog owners readily accepted!!! Cheers Nick
Guest chucky.egg Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 General advice: 1) Dont let them on the furniture or beds EVER. Tehy'll assume it's theirs and will just help themselves whenever they feel like a nap. 2) Feed them AFTER you've eaten, or at a different time of day altogether (ours like breakfast and dinner, but some prefer just one meal a day) 3) Watch out for clauses in the medical insurance - often they only cover you for one occurence of a problem, and the following year that thing is specifically excluded. B@sta@rd bl00dy insurance companies 4) Agility classes are a blast. 5) As early as possible train them to poop in the same place, and at the same time of day (ie. just before bed). Oh, and if I'm not allowed to scrub my arse clean on the rug, neither are they!
Guest TigerNet Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 ...good advice...who do you recommend for insurance? I got a 6 week freebie from the kennel club, but am looking for some decent cover... Oh, and if I'm not allowed to scrub my arse clean on the rug, neither are they! :shock: does that mean I have to stop? :shock: ;) Cheers Nick
Guest mcwarre Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 1. Use a harness for walking them lot less crueler than choking them 2. Get some big poobags ;) 3. Use a through-life insurance such as petplan (expensive) or Sainsburys. We did and one of the dogs ended up costing over £7,000 but was covered! 4. Get him microchipped and balls off (will stop him humping the missus). Oops can't give her ideas! (It actually makes them less aggressive and more chilled). 5. A seat cover which has a waterproof backing is a must for winte. 6. Use the harness to attach to seatbelt. A 100lb dog in your bag at 60mph in an accident upsets your day. 7. Get a 'launch-a-ball' to exercise him more. 8. Train him to get your paper/slippers/beer. Then the missus is surplus to requirements :D 9. Best of all: Puppy licks are free and there is an endless supply!!!!!
