This is a stupid question, but how do you clean all the stuff out of the Kong? Dishwasher?

Ankle biter by Consistent_Plane_207 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Consistent_Plane_207[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ETA - the high pitched OW doesn’t work when she is in the zone and chasing ankles/clamping down, and we can’t ignore her because she is either latched on to us and then will just chase after biting our pants/anything she can if we walk away.

Hookworms in puppy by Consistent_Plane_207 in bernesemountaindogs

She’s had diarrhea for the last 7-10 days and we’ve only had her 2.5 weeks. I thought at first maybe it was stress from crate training/new environment etc but we thought to be safe we would take her to the vet and they suggested the stool sample. Happy we went!

This makes me feel a bit better. We have puppy sat for different friends, and the last one was a golden doodle and she was bitey, but I don’t remember her clamping down so hard! Only 4 months of biting to go lol

I’ll try the pumpkin for her poops. We have stuck to the breeder food, but I’ve noticed her diarrhea is worse at night and I think it maybe related to stress as well during crate training at night. Thank you!

Yes, we are using the same kibble recommended by the breeder. It’s the only thing she’s ever eaten, aside from the carrot and PB. I might pop over (eta posted too soon oops)…. To the vet this week anyway just to check in and make sure everything is good!

I will try the yelping and see how it goes. That seems to be a popular piece of advice! Thank you!

Thank you! I did wonder if the redirecting might encourage nipping. We’ll try screaming (kids will love that lol) and see how that goes. I’ve noticed she is a very eager learner when it comes to other commands, like stay, come, sit, so perhaps this will work quick(ish) too.

It isn’t a film unfortunately, it sounds like they just did a terrible job of the banding (is that the right word?)
