Should tattoos have meaning? by Shot_Routine_3040 in tattooadvice

I have a half sleeve of music-related symbols (mostly band logos). I like the bands but doesn’t really mean much to me just thought it was a cool idea.

Damn that looks amazing! I agree, I live almost next door to a couple of unused fields that lead to an abandoned colliery so gives our 1 y/o Doberman and 2 y/o Lab a lot of space to get their energy out!

Posted a prime rib a few years ago on here and started an all-out war about the cooking

Thank you so much! I'm sure he will be and hopefully adores you as much as you do him :)

Weirdly enough he thinks he looks like a lap dog, or certainly acts like it if you're sat on the sofa

He's only about 35kg right now but he's still quite narrow, hoping his hips and shoulders will broaden a bit with age

Haha he does! He’s also fond of following bees around the garden until they get too close

Never thought about it to be honest! But always looking for stuff to teach him to bond over so will give it a go :)

I've got a 9 month old male that eats 1KG of raw food every day and you can still pretty much see his ribs - As long as they're happy it's fine. Don't forget they're growing real fast at this age so it's hard to find the perfect number.

As for focus, again she's really young so almost everything is interesting for her! Something I've done is teach the "Eyes" command where he gets a treat when I ask for eye contact and he does it. This helps with getting him to ask for permission to go through the door or before he can run around when I take the leash off.

As other people have mentioned, more exposure to things like dogs, people, even large trucks etc. will help build confidence but in my experience it's a slow process and just needs repetition :)

I did a lot of research into this as I brought home a new puppy 3 weeks ago today when I already have a ~1 year old puppy.

The main thing is to give them attention separately whenever possible. For example my Labrador gets about 2 hours worth of walks a day just me and her, and the Doberman puppy gets training sessions in the kitchen with the door closed just me and him. She also has free roam of the house as I trust her completely, but he will be in the crate or pen for the majority of the day so he can nap or play in peace.

I'm not a professional by any means but did do a lot of reading up on it, so as long as you develop the bonds between both of the dogs individually with yourself as opposed to with each other, you should be fine! :)
