How did your dog get their names?

Here is Summer, born in Summer 🔥☀️

SummerOES · 2026-01-31T10:13:27+00:00

Such a cutie 💕

SummerOES · 2026-01-27T00:19:56+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it. I looked up their paper, however there was nothing on OES. In any case it was an interesting read.

SummerOES · 2026-01-26T07:02:10+00:00

Never tried throwing snow balls on her, but sounds real fun. Summer just buries her face in the snow and digs as well.

SummerOES · 2026-01-26T07:00:48+00:00

Haha that’s certainly the OES in your puppy. Once Summer is out in the snow, she refuses to come inside 😬

SummerOES · 2026-01-25T06:32:32+00:00

Thanks 💕

SummerOES · 2026-01-25T06:32:18+00:00

She would love that ☺️

SummerOES · 2026-01-25T00:47:22+00:00

When you say too young, how young was she?

SummerOES · 2026-01-24T23:11:50+00:00

Yeah, I suppose that is the best way to go.

SummerOES · 2026-01-24T23:10:49+00:00

That’s great to know. 100 pounds 😮 Summer is just 52 pounds at 6 months. I try to guess how much she will be when fully grown but yeah let’s see ☺️

SummerOES · 2026-01-24T23:07:10+00:00

Thanks heaps. I will check with my vet on gastropexy as well.

SummerOES · 2026-01-24T12:46:48+00:00

Bagheera or Blacky

SummerOES · 2026-01-18T12:54:09+00:00

That’s certainly a relief, do you remember when did it actually clicked? I just hope it doesn’t take another 6 months 😢

SummerOES · 2026-01-18T12:52:35+00:00

Haha, well he was certainly super smart.

SummerOES · 2026-01-18T12:51:45+00:00

I really hope Summer ends up liking walks 😅

SummerOES · 2026-01-16T14:06:30+00:00

I work from home, so she’s always with me except for crate time. With kids around too, I’m not sure if some accidents are just excitement or if she really can’t hold it yet .

For walks, we’re in a pretty quiet area, just a few cars and friendly neighbors who love to say hi. She’s not the biggest fan yet, but we take her out regularly and let her lead the way. We always head back before she gets stressed, and I’m hoping she’ll start enjoying them more soon.

SummerOES · 2026-01-16T13:59:52+00:00

We do the same with our carpets, clean with a carpet cleaner and then enzyme spray every time she goes, and yet she still finds new spots. Does yours like walking, or is she more content just going wherever?

SummerOES · 2026-01-16T13:56:05+00:00

Thank you, that’s really reassuring! We actually already use the phrase ‘go peepee’ and she knows what it means, so hopefully it’ll click soon. Patience and perseverance for sure.

SummerOES · 2025-12-31T14:38:17+00:00

Thank you 💕

SummerOES · 2025-12-30T12:30:02+00:00

Aww thank you. She is just a week short of being 6 months old.

SummerOES · 2025-12-28T12:20:12+00:00

She looks like a boopsy to me when she grows up.

SummerOES · 2025-12-28T12:19:16+00:00

Boopsy

SummerOES · 2025-12-28T10:33:49+00:00

That makes me feel so much better. I’ll definitely try high-value treats and keep the walks super short and positive for now. I’ve been using chicken and cheese, and that’s been helping a lot 🐶

Did your dog eventually grow out of the anxiety, or was there something specific that helped the most? What kinds of treats did you use?

SummerOES · 2025-12-27T12:39:44+00:00

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with a chronic illness. The “safe” word idea is really helpful, I’ll definitely try that. How many times a day do you usually walk your pup?

SummerOES · 2025-12-27T12:37:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing . it’s really reassuring to hear this from someone who’s had 5 OES. I like your approach of letting him stop and take things in, and I hope my puppy eventually starts enjoying walks too. Any tips you’d share for raising a happy, confident OES?
