If you speak to the parents & it dosent do any good.Then buy some big thin pieces of some thing like chip board & nail it onto your side of the fence.That way the kids wont be able to see where your chows are in the garden.Or set up a video camara to record things being thrown over the fence...

Out of my three achilles is the worst his favourite spot is at the back of the front door.When i am leaving he watches out the corner of his eye.When i go outside closing the door behind me before i put the key into lock it i hear a thud & hes there already on guard duty.When i come home i unloc...

I got a ramp for my 3 i have a honda estate so it would be about the same height off the ground.Practice with him on the drive way using treats to coax him in & out.It wont take him long to catch on.

Feeding 2 x day is not enough she should be fed at least 4 x day.Better still would be 5 x day for the next 2 weeks if you could set your alarm clock to feed her in the middle of the night & then put her out to pee that would better for her.It will be hard on you for 2 weeks with disturbed sleep...

If you are at home all day with her as soon as she wakes up take her outside.Whenever shes awake try to get in the routine of taking her into the garden every hour for a pee.When she goes to pee say wee wees when shes finished in a high pitched voice say good girl give lots of praise the same with a...

http://youtu.be/IyeFWoGr2a0 If i have done this properly theres a video of zeus & baby shabs with achilles snoring in the background that i took last summer.

Sorry Rio i cant upload any photos at the moment my last pc crashed and i have just bought a new laptop and am still just getting used to it. Its all to do with dominance the higher up the tree,wall etc they can pee the better.Many years ago i watched a documentery cant remember what it was called b...

I have twin boys zeus & achilles they started to raise there legs at about 4 months old when we started going out after they had all there injections.Thats when the pair of them took a lot of interest in females.At first it was quite a performance when walking through the woods they would hook t...

Training at 5 months old he will be teething therefore you should give him bones to chew to relieve the pain he will getting from his teeth.This will stop a lot of the nipping. Exercise him at least twice for 30 minutes per day take him out let him meet & play with other dogs. Play time this sho...

Interesting how things vary from country to country in the UK your dogs are there to guard the home on my home insurance the last time i did an update a few years ago i was asked what the situation with my dogs was when i said Teddy had passed away.But i had twin chow boys who were excellent guard d...

Two puppys together will keep each other company.Whether you have one or two it would be best if you got a walker or took her to daycare 11 hours is too long for her to be left on her own.She will be frustrated as your finding out.At 10 weeks old she is still a baby and wont take much notice of your...

Two of my pack did well with the noise last night zeus didnt bother at all and shabs my 5 month old cairn apart from a few woofs managed very well.But achilles had a terrible time even with the music on full blast he was very upset it went on for about 3 hours then he started to calm down when most ...

Tonights bonfire night i have just seen your post i close all the curtains and then put a music channel on the tv or the radio on full blast.I find this calms them down quite a lot.Even though i live in a detached house i always go round to my neighbours and say the music might be loud for a couple ...

By what you have written a most important point never bend down and put your face close to his by accident you could end up being bitten hes very young and wont understand.Secondly hes playing you your being dog trained when telling him no dont touch him,touch is praise it sends a mixed message.Alwa...

I agree with every one else it dosent matter what breed you get.Its all down to personality in the past i have had a female chow and a corgi living together then they were joined by a female cairn terrier.When my chow and corgi past away i got zeus and achilles twin chow boys they are now 5 years ol...

You could try doggy swimming.I dont know which country your in but in the uk we have cannine hydro therapy places.He would be put into a harness and lowered partially into the pool under supervision with floats around him then he can kick his legs freely and it could help with his stiffened joints.T...

You said shes skittish from the beginning therefore you have a nervous dog.Having her surrounded by people was probably putting to much pressure on her at this time.You will find she nipped at the people to stop them invading her space.I would suggest two things put her in a room away from everyone ...

On the occasions that hes bitten has it always been when you have walked him.If so then he is over protective of you and must have felt you were at threat from your neigbour and he had to protect you.I would suggest you contact a good professional trainer who could do a home visit and walk out with ...

I am sorry to here your news were going through the same as well.Me,zeus and achilles have just lost charlie the cairn terrier.All three of us are missing her so much.Shes the fifth one i have lost and in the first few weeks there isnt anything that anyone can say to you to take the pain away.But yo...

i have twin boys and achilles has dewclaws on both his back legs and zeus has an extra on one rear leg.i have had no problems with either of them.my vet said just leave them alone and they will probably be fine and they have been.he told me a lot of dogs of all breeds have extra dewclaws and its not...

i would say sundance.glad to hear things are going well for you

I would suggest putting him in the car and drive him round the block no longer than a 5 minute journey a couple of times a day for a few days.then drive for 10 minutes the next day and build it up from there.i think i read on other posts that you have a girl called nelly so you could take her along ...

never use any form of choke chain on a chow.he should be walked 1 hour in a morning and 1 hour in the evening.before taking him for a walk take him into the back yard and either using toys or running around yourself play with him for 10 minutes this will bring down his energy levels before you go on...

the blood on the paws will be from being hit by the car thats one of the external signs you see they dig there nails into the road on impact. she was lucky it would probably mean the car wasnt going that fast a lot of dogs end up with there nails been ripped out.if she starts to vomit take her back ...

mine have scrambled eggs once a week and there fine.
