Bulldog
Michele_0404 asked:

I’m waiting for my French Bulldog puppy to get a little older before I actually take him home. He is almost four weeks old, and I want to know when I should take him home. The breeder says 7.5 weeks, but I’ve heard it is okay at 6 weeks. But, I want the best for the puppy.

Boxer dog

My kids found a stray, retarded acting boxer dog roaming around the chinese restaurants dumpster. They want to call it Mooshie until the pound comes to pick up this homely looking mutt. They were wondering if Mooshie is a good name for a mutt that is slow in the head?

I just got a cocker spaniel puppy and when he eats out of a normal dog bowl his ears get very dirty. Do you know anywhere where I could find one just for cocker spaniels? I live in the U.K. so if you know any places that would be great! Thank you so much!

puppies

One of the first things you do with a brand new puppy is getting your new puppy potty trained. Luckily, puppy potty training doesn’t have to be a huge pain. This piece will cover a few tips on potty training your new puppy.

At first, you need to know that puppies are similar to kids and they will create messes because they don’t know any better and Aren’t familiar with their bodily urges. Your puppy isn’t trying to soil on your living room couch; he just doesn’t know that he has to go potty.

A puppy’s ability to notice their need to go to potty as they get older, much like kids. potty train your puppy faster by making up a schedule for your puppy to adhere to. Take the puppy out at consistent times every day so that the puppy becomes familiar with a regular schedule.

If you work outside of the home, you can expect there to be accidents while you puppy is potty training. You can aleviate this some by putting down newspapers for your puppy to relieve themselves on, but it will take training for the puppy to understand this is only for emergencies. When mistakes happen (and they will), don’t get upset – just tidy up and disinfect the area.

You can notice ahead of time some of the signs that your puppy needs to be let outside. When you notice your puppy acting a certain way, it should be time to take them out.

Here are signs that your puppy needs to go potty:

* Your puppy is restless

* Puppy is sniffing a place they had previously gone potty

* Your puppy is fussing

* Distracted at play

Puppies are unique, you will soon learn to spot the signs in your puppy. When your puppy begins to exhibit this potty sign it is time to take them out for a walk and direct them to go in the place you want them to use.

If your puppy does good, remember to praise him. Positive reactions reinforces to the puppy that they have done the right thing and will make them eager to do it again to get more praise.

Although housebreaking your puppy can be hard, it is just a matter of being dilligent and patient with your new puppy long enough for their minds and bodies to grow up and adhere to your training. With patience and enough time, your puppy will become housebroken and accidents will be a a thing of the past.

I built the ball machine because I thought my dog Jerry, might like it and that it would be something fun for me to build. So after two years of on and off work, with many safety features such as IR proximity sensors to protect Jerry and my son from the machine, I finally complete.

Far from being a replacement for me, I was always right there with him enjoying his fun. And with all the troubles that I went through to build the ball machine, I still end up throwing more balls than that the machine could count! According to the computer, he played with the machine by himself only 3 times in his life.

I recently put this video on YouTube to keep alive my earlier memories of him and (hopefully) provide some “humorous distractions” for anyone that might drop by.

Please enjoy the video.
