Thank you for all your suggestions. We put her in the bathroom, as I mentioned it's very large, and my husband double gated her, one on top of the other so she couldn't climb out. She could also see Jake if/when he went into the room, which I'm sure he did. I was so concerned I asked my...

Thank you for your suggestions, I know 8 to 10 hours is too long, I'm going to try to get off earlier, my boss is very understanding. And gating her with my male boxer may be an option but the problems there are, she climbs over the gates!! I'm just amazed by that. My male boxer, Jake...

I'm so anxious about leaving Molly to go back to work. I work two days a week, Monday and Wednesday, which is much better than working full time like I was when Jake was a pup. We firsts tried putting her in the kitchen with a baby gate when we had to go out for a little while. She...

Thank you for your reply, I cut back the quantitiy a little and I'm giving her 1 3/4 cups now instead of the 2 1/4, she's doing a little better.

Peeking in here and hope it's ok to ask a question as well gmacleod. You mentioned the raw bones being OK, does that mean they're OK for for a puppy with baby teeth? My pup is 11 weeks old, I thought a raw bone would be too hard for her?

Thank you for replying so quickly. It has only been a week since we started giving her equal parts of the old food and the new. I read somewhere that it takes about a week, so I just started with all Wellness after a week. I could try to go back to a little less Wellness and more of the old...

We have a new 11 weeks old, (got her a 9 weeks), I've been gradually introducing Wellness Puppy to her from what the breeder was feeding her (Purina Puppy Chow). After a week of gradually mixing in the Wellness we are now feeding her only the Wellness and her stool is a lighter color and very...

Thanks, I'll get some on those kongs, my other dogs didn't like the nylabones at all. Are knuckle bones OK? I've always heard that you're not suppose to give any bones?

Well they (pork chomps) sure sounded like a better option, I'll keep looking. I was thinking too that the natural bones and the nylabones are too hard right now for her baby teeth.

One of the problems is it looks like I have two alphas now. I know she's too little right now but wow is she a little terror. She's very aggressive and is in Jake's face barking, growling and nipping at him and my older shepard all the time. My shepard has started staying outside now most of...

Thank you. I agree with you and have always considered Boxers to be a medium breed. I had an English Mastiff (230lbs) not THAT is a large breed! LOL.

Pork Chomps? I don't remember seeing these before, they sound like a better choice than rawhide. Is anyone familiar with this product? This is a description on the package "Range Riders Pork Rollz 9 out of 10 dogs prefer porkhide compared to rawhide! Unlike beef rawhide products...

Having problems :-( Well Jake is an Alpha and is very possessive and dominate over any of his toys, bones or food. He has always snapped and growled at our older dog (Shepard mix, 13 years old) who use to be the Alpha but gave it up to Jake. I gave the puppy a toy, after first giving one to...

Thank you I was thinking the rawhide probably isn't a good thing. I'll look for the natural bones, she definitely needs something to chew on LOL.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help. We are definitely going to upgrade her food and have been looking at the recommendations for 6 & 5 star ratings. We were thinking of Wellness Large Breed Puppy mix. The nurse at the Vet's suggested a large breed food for her, saying that...
