Calvin is now 12 weeks and doing well, aside from his new skill of snarling he is great!! I have found some great resources to help us with that. :brow: He can already sit and lay down, so we anticipate that puppy training will go well. I do hope to post more pcitures soon but he keeps us busy!! We love him to death and my son does not leave his side, a great companion!!

We are not breeders, and have no intention of being. No judgement against breeding, I just don't want to. This just seemed the best place for our questions. <br /> We foster for a rescue group, and currently have five puppies, one litter of four 6-week-olds and one 9-week-old. The litter was rescued at two weeks old and hand fed by a volunteer until they were on solid food. Here's my questions:<br /> 1. At what age should we consider them available for adoption? We have adopters ready for the 9-week-old and one 6-week-old. However, none have had their boosters yet, and only the older puppy has had his first round of shots. We were thinking after 8 weeks (and full shots) for the younger puppies, but the adopter wants to pick her up after first round and accept responsibility for second round since she's been weaned. We're not going for it, but I wanted to get your advice.<br /> 2. Any tips for potty training five at once?<br /> 3. When are they old enough to begin crate training? Do you crate together or separately?<br /> We've never had this many at once - usually just one puppy at a time and older puppies. The litter was a special circumstance, and we took the older since we had the others. I want to make sure these little guys - and girls - have the best start possible.</div> Labrador Retriever Dogs Chat Board - Dogs, Puppies, Photos, Training, Pictures, Rescue Forums Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMTDog Traininghttp://www.5stardog.com/Dog-Training/re-483762_Acral-Lick-Granuloma---A-Problem-For-Many-Dogs.aspxDog Training Acral Lick Granuloma - A Problem For Many Dogs by Joseph M.

It's difficult to imagine where those weeks have gone: on one hand, seeming to take forever; on the other, just flying by.<br /><br />Here's what the young pupmeisters are up to these days:<br /><br />They're <span style="font-weight: bold;">still nursing</span>, but not nearly as frequently, nor as long. The pups are far more efficient, and Elsie's milk lets down stronger and faster now so it goes quickly (all of about two minutes). And, of course, Elsie is getting less amenable to the idea of the pups nursing now that they all have TEETH! The poor sweet Elsie girl...I think she's ready to be done with this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8hiDv4HcDg4/SPiSoFHT7zI/AAAAAAAADDo/Yd7dc_cE9eA/s1600-h/IMGP7856.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8hiDv4HcDg4/SPiSoFHT7zI/AAAAAAAADDo/Yd7dc_cE9eA/s320/IMGP7856.JPG" alt=" " id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258113782220320562" border="0" /></a><br />If you read this week's posts, you know we've started them on gruel: a mixture of soaked-in-boiling-water-first-then-blended-puppy-food mixed with Esbilac (puppy milk replacement formula) cooled to just moderately warm (like the temperature of milk in a baby bottle). They absolutely love it and are quite ready for it. We'll gradually increase the consistency over the next ten until the pups get to point where they're handling dry puppy food (what we'll send them to their new homes on).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8hiDv4HcDg4/SPiVHrNCLCI/AAAAAAAADDw/ZhvkYsJqfHg/s1600-h/IMGP7790.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8hiDv4HcDg4/SPiVHrNCLCI/AAAAAAAADDw/ZhvkYsJqfHg/s320/IMGP7790.JPG" alt=" " id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258116524044069922" border="0" /></a><br />The pups are <span style="font-weight: bold;">learning to lap from a water bowl </span>(here are Mstrs. Green, Red, and Yellow trying it out below). After a few snout fulls (for the braver, jump-right-in types), they get the idea.

This is our first time trying it, and it seems to be working well. They pups use it about half the time (without our actively training them to do so). Even if they only use it half the time, that's half the clean up for me and well worth the small expense (saves a TON on paper expense and laundry, too). Here are Mr. Red (foreground in box) and Mr. Green (behind Mr. Red) trying to use it simultaneously:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8hiDv4HcDg4/SPepqttiYcI/AAAAAAAADCg/s8KcqmgrgGs/s1600-h/IMGP7808.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8hiDv4HcDg4/SPepqttiYcI/AAAAAAAADCg/s8KcqmgrgGs/s320/IMGP7808.JPG" alt=" " id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257857641268535746" border="0" /></a><br />They <span style="font-weight: bold;">still like to hide</span>.

We'll start adding more people who Elsie already knows but come less frequently over the next week to ten days.

At 28 days old now, they've just completed their first "awareness/identification" stage of development and now move into their second "awareness/identification" week.<br /><br />This week we can expect to see more sophisticate play (less throwing themselves at and tripping over each other, and more controlled romping). We should also see more chasing (yup, we've actually seen a trot or two out of the more developed pups already!), dominance play, and "kill" games where they pin each other by the neck (this is all part of them identifying where they fall in the pecking order).<br /><br />We'll be adding climbing toys, more movement toys (rolling balls), and more new surfaces for them to walk on. We'll also be taking them outdoors on the grass and decking later in the week.<br /><br />For the first time in they're young lives, they'll also start spending short amounts of time 1:1 with us <span style="font-style: italic;">away from</span> the litter. That's when we can really begin to see their personalities. We'll gradually increase the time away with each pup so that they learn independence and so that we can minimize (hopefully) their separation anxiety and increase their human bonding when the time comes for the puppies to go to their new homes.<br /><br />Betcha never knew so much went into the proper socialization of a pup (most people don't, and then they wonder why they end up with a "problem" puppy)! I know I sure didn't before we started breeding, but the more we do now to prepare the pups for their lives with their new owners, the more likely it is that they'll find forever happy homes.<br /><br />And that's the goal, isn't it? We raise them to fly, to reach their potentials, and to enrich the lives of those they love (and who love them).<br /><br />Sounds a bit like human children, too, eh?<br /><br />'Til next time,<br />JoanLAB TAILS Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMTDog Traininghttp://www.5stardog.com/Dog-Training/re-483760_Guide-to-Dog-Difficulty-Urinating---Treatment-amp--Prevention-Tips.aspxDog Training Guide to Dog Difficulty Urinating - Treatment &amp; Prevention Tips by Laura Ramirez Dog difficulty urinating?

She's very sweet, a little timid and fearful, and moves with quick movements back and forth. She hasn't gone in the house, so she's house-trained. But, she has no leash manners, doesn't know sit and she is constantly nibbling, sniffing, licking our hands, like she's expecting there to be food there. She seems to be terrified of loud sounds, motors etc. Everywhere she goes, she starts out with her head down, moving nervously, tail down also. Once she feels there is nothing to fear, she'll be fine and happy. Any new person she sees she will run to them, but, when she gets close, she'll lay flat on the ground in front of them, her tail wagging a little. When they talk to her and pet her, then she'll sit up, lick them and wag the tail harder.<br /> This is basically her personality, in a nutshell. So, what's the best way to teach her, I don't want to do anything that will cause more fear and insecurities....but, I also don't want to be too gentle, causing her to hold on to those fears and insecurities.</div> Labrador Retriever Dogs Chat Board - Dogs, Puppies, Photos, Training, Pictures, Rescue Forums Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMTDog Traininghttp://www.5stardog.com/Dog-Training/re-483328_Oct-16-Puppy-Training.aspxPuppy training not an easy task. There is the need of an adequate and prompt training from the day one.JRT Doggy Blog Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMTDog Traininghttp://www.5stardog.com/Dog-Training/re-482540_Pet-Adoption--rewarding-lifesaving-heartwarming.aspx<div style="text-align: center"><img id="image1402" alt="petnet_300x130.gif" src="http://petsitusa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/petnet_300x130.gif" /></div> <p>Bringing a new cat, dog, or other pet into your life can be exciting and fun! And, when you adopt from a rescue or shelter, it can be especially rewarding knowing you&#8217;re giving that pet a second chance at life. What potential adopters need to know though, is that rescue groups and shelters normally have certain requirements a potential pet owner must meet in order to adopt a pet. Since they want to place the pets with the best possible homes, someone looking to adopt a pet should be ready to be screened&#8230;sometimes quite thoroughly.</p> <p>The shelter or rescue group may ask if the pet will live indoors or out, what experience the person has with the type of pet they&#8217;re trying to adopt, if they can afford veterinary care, and other questions they feel are important to the health and well being of the pet. So, the more planning and research you do before adopting a pet, the better the experience will be for you and your new family member.</p> <p>With that in mind, here are a few things to think about before you bring your new pet home. Being prepared may make the adoption process go more smoothly so you can bring your new pet home and start getting to know each other.</p> <p><strong>Health Care</strong><br /> One of the first trips you take with your new pet should be to your veterinarian. Chances are the people you adopted your cat, dog, or other pet from will have already had him checked out, but it&#8217;s a good idea to get him to your own vet for a thorough checkup.</p> <p>It&#8217;s a good idea to have a veterinarian before you bring your new pet home. If you don&#8217;t have one though, check with family and friends to get their recommendations. The rescue group or shelter you adopt your pet from may also be able to give you a list of vets in your area.  Once you choose a veterinarian, the initial visit with your pet will serve to establish a relationship with him or her so you don&#8217;t have to scramble to find one if your pet becomes ill. And if you&#8217;ve never had a pet before, this is a great time to talk with your new vet about general health issues.</p> <p>Visit <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/howto.html">this website</a> for more information on what to look for when you choose a veterinarian.</p> <p>If you&#8217;d like to get an idea of the costs involved in caring for a pet, visit <a target="_blank" href="http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?articleid=1543">this website</a>. You might want to consider buying health insurance for your pet as well. I&#8217;m a big advocate of it and have been extremely happy with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gopetplan.com/?engine=PetSitUSA&#038;utm_source=PetSitUSA&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=blog">Petplan Pet Insurance</a>, but there are other pet insurance companies out there to choose from. Visit <a target="_blank" href="http://www.petinsurancereview.com/">Pet Insurance Review</a> to find out more.</p> <p><strong>Take a Pet First Aid Class</strong><br /> Knowing how to react in an emergency may save your pet&#8217;s life. The American Animal Hospital Association estimates that one in four more pets would survive an emergency if they were given first aid. Investing a little time in a pet first aid class will prepare you not only how to manage emergencies, but some classes (like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.pettech.net/">Pet Tech</a>) will teach you how to prevent some of the most common emergencies cat and dog owners face.</p> <p>To find a pet first aid course in your area, check the Pet Tech website, the Red Cross, or even your veterinarian. If you&#8217;re in Austin, Texas you can take a Pet Tech class through <a target="_blank" href="http://www.austinpetfirstaid.com/">Austin Pet First Aid</a>.</p> <p><strong>Dog Training</strong><br /> Even if you adopt a dog that knows obedience commands, taking her through a basic obedience class can help you bond and learn from each other. If your new dog hasn&#8217;t had any training, taking her through a class will enable you to become a better dog owner, help her learn good manners, and will train you to train your dog.</p> <p>If you have friends with well trained dogs, ask them if they know of a good trainer. You can also check with your veterinarian or do a search on the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.apdt.com/">Association of Pet Dog Trainers</a> website.</p> <p><strong>Pet Sitting and/or Dog Walking Services</strong><br /> If you travel and don&#8217;t think you&#8217;ll be taking your pet with you, a pet sitter can be a great way to keep your pet comfortable at home. If you work long hours and need someone to take your dog out for a mid-day potty break or walk, a dog walker can be very important to you and your pet. If your dog gets some attention during the day, he will be less likely to become bored, which can lead to destructive behavior.</p> <p>Talk to some pet sitters before you bring your new dog or cat home. Find out what services they offer, if they care for the type of pet you&#8217;re adopting, what they charge, etc. If you&#8217;re adopting a dog ask if they can help with potty training and mid-day visits. Having someone visit during the day while you&#8217;re at work can be very important in getting your dog acclimated to his new home and routine.</p> <p>To find a professional pet sitter check with your friends or your veterinarian. You can also search the <a href="http://www.petsitusa.com/">PetsitUSA.com</a> website, search online, or look in the yellow pages.</p> <p><strong>Pet Accommodations - Indoors or Out</strong><br /> Most rescue groups will want the pet to live indoors with the family. For some this may mean using baby gates to keep the pet in or out of certain areas, crate training, removing poisonous plants or dangerous items from the pets reach, or any number of other preparations to make your home more pet friendly. You&#8217;ll also want to be sure your pet has his own sleeping place, and of course, plenty of toys to keep him busy.</p> <p>Adopting a pet is a big commitment, but the benefits are huge, and so very much worth it! My dogs, Archie &#038; Lydia, and my cat, Tequila, were all rescues and they have brightened my life more than I can put into words. They&#8217;re family that I dearly love, and I simply cannot imagine they were unwanted at one point. They&#8217;re certainly love and wanted here!</p> <p>I wish you much love and happiness with the pet you may bring into your life soon&#8230;it can be one of the most wonderful and rewarding aspects of your life!<br /> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br /> We&#8217;re pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the First Annual Pet&#8217;Net Adoption event, sponsored by Petside.com, which involves many other pet bloggers who are passionate about pet adoption.
