I read above where you say that the older dog will let the younger know. Our pup is 9 weeks and the older boxer is 21 months. He's letting the puppy tear him apart! The puppy can be hanging from his cheek and he'll just put up with it. He has all kinds of scabs from the bites. The only way...

Our guy did the same thing around the 9 month age too. If we weren't paying attention to him he'd start barking at us. We stepped up the physical exercise and he had a little more crate time then usual. It passed in a few weeks. This too will pass :D

Our 11 month old is only 60 lbs too and you can see his hips/ribs. Since we switched him to the EVO puppy food he has lost weight. He was on Canidae but got tired of the taste, not matter which flavor. I was going to switch him to the EVO silver package but was worried about the high protein...

Thanks very much guys! I'm glad to hear we're not starving him. As always this site is great to get other people's experiences :D

Blitz will be 7 months on the 20th of February. We have been feeding him Canidae since he was about 2 months. We started with "All Life Stages" he loved it the first try. It seemed right around the 6 month mark he decided he didn't like it anymore. We switched to Lamb and Rice and he ate 3...

I would imagine Ketamine is fine in dogs. It's used on humans all the time, including children.

Our pup did this for 3 days after his vaccines. We were pretty worried and were going to take him in on the 4th day, but it resolved.

Our pup is 12 wks now. He started chewing leaves pretty much as soon as we got him (7 wks). Around 9 weeks we got tired of him chewing and eating leaves so we taught him the "Drop It" command. We taught him first with toys and then started getting him to drop leaves. He sometimes can't drop...

lol, our pup picked the science diet out and discarded it too. We mixed the two for a couple days, but he would only eat the Canidae! So we just ended up throwing out a 1/4 bag of Science diet. He is 12 weeks and eats about 2 cups a day.

We started our pup at 7 weeks as soon as we got him home. It took a couple days but he started to get it quickly. Now he hit's it about 90% of the time, still the occasional pee mistake, but never poop.

We named our pup "Blitz". According to websites it means lightning or flash in German. It describes him well because he often has little flashes or moments of energy and darts around for a bit then crashes. We thought of Titan, Tyson, Lance, and Axel too. We figured Tyson was too common...

Blitz is 7 weeks and 7lbs :D

Hi from another Nova Scotia member :D

Hi everyone on BW! My fiance and I just purchased a 7 week old male fawn boxer 3 days ago. He weighs 7 lbs and we absolutely love him! I have been reading the forums with great interest. We are crate training and trying the bell training, which I hadn't heard of before here. Anyway thanks...
