For me it’s tolerating/being comfortable having their muzzle grabbed and head moved around. Especially if you’ve got a pup that requires regular grooms as this is the hold most groomers will use when trimming up the face.
Hullo! In the future I plan to supplement my pup with fruits and so want to start introducing as early as possible. He’s 9.5 weeks and I’m already feeding a combo of wet and dry.
He gets a mix of Royal canin Mini puppy wet and Purina small&mini healthy start dry, we worked out portions (accounting for treats) with our vet so don’t worry.
Just curious if it’s alright to start with a quarter strawberry cut up and a whole blueberry cut up? I don’t plan for it to be every meal but do I need to edit portions slightly to account for the fruit or since it’s such a small amount is it okay to just mix in?
TIA! And a pic of the pup.
He was 1.4 Kg when we weighed him at 9 weeks if that matters. I’m going to the vet Friday for his vaccine booster and can update on weight then :)
Like the title says. This little idiot finished a 3 hours non-enforced nap and whined to signal he was up and I let him out. I’m getting him ready to go potty after such a long nap and he starts crying and shoving his face through the crate, from the outside. Took me just a sec to realize I hadn’t accidentally shut his paw in there or smth and that he was in fact just crying to get back in at his bully lmao
He was not given the bully much to his dismay, he only gets it when shut in the crate to make it more exciting.
Hullo! A couple of you made requests with me on my last post, since then I’ve gotten a puppy which kind of demands all of my attention so I’ve not been able to complete them.
I absolutely still instead to though! My pups started sleeping in the crate for an hour or two at a time so I’ll have the free time to do it
Thank y’all for your patience! I’ve posted the original example works to jog any memories+ a few requests I’ve done to prove I’m actually working on them
As mentioned last time the designs in the first 3 pics are my own or my Roleplay partners, the rest I will credit to owners of designs in the comments :)
He’s a purebred mix
Guess one or both of his parents
Hullo! Im writing a story for a school assignment, the prompt was "write about a time you or somebody you know decorated something" it was meant to be inspired by a real event but we can change and add detailed as much as we want.
I basically wrote about not getting along with my siblings growing up and how, only after they'd all moved out we don't see each other everyday that we realised how good we actually had it growing up together. Basically my "climax" is us decorating for Christmas at my parents house after not seeing each other for 2 years, everything until this is basically true. My only issue is that my English teacher has told me I need more "drama" for the decorating, as in, we need a made up reason for a family gathering instead of it just being Christmas time. Only I'm struggling to come up with motivation for our gathering without loosing the overall somber tone and I don't want to go super dramatic like someone died for anything
I hope this has made sense, any help is appreciated :)
Hullo!
As the title says he does 1-3 hour naps during the day a few times a day in the crate, goes in by himself with only a few seconds of whining when I lock it sometimes during the day. At night however the best we’ve done is half an hour, any idea why that may be?
My reasoning for wanting him to sleep in the crate overnight is that he’s only 9 weeks so is absolutely not trustworthy free roaming (though free roam is a goal) and for potty training so he doesn’t pee somewhere during the night and instead can be taken out.
Hullo, just want to see if I’m alone in this. My pups 9 weeks so 20 ish hours a day should be spent asleep which I stick to. My only problem is that I almost feel guilty for it. Like I bought this little dude to give him the best life I can and I’m enforcing naps when he wants to hang out and play?? I’ll reiterate — I KNOW it’s for the best, I know he needs it, I just feel bad.

As the title says. My puppy (9 weeks) is on a 1out 2in routine and I’ve been doing an immediate potty at the beginning and right at the end of the hour, all the time spend in between is with active play. Should this not be the case? I can’t help but feel some time should be spent with some calm interaction.
As the title says. I’m teaching my pup to always heel when on leash unless given the free command but he’s tiny. He’s a maltipoo and stands probably no more than a foot off the ground. I don’t want to toss food as it may bounce and break his heel for him to get it but I also have to stop to bend over and treat and for me that’s giving him a treat for stopping not for walking good a few seconds earlier.
Advice?
