MarkBevBen Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Meant to say as well, we feed him on James Wellbeloved adult kibble and he loves it - especially the 'ocean fish' flavour. He occasionally has the topper pouches and treats from us at the weekend too for instance roast dinner meat. He was too thin when we got him (27kg) but he now weighs 34kg and is doing just grand. He's just the right weight now bless him. We regularly visit our vet to have his claws done - I daren't do them myself - so I always weigh him then. He's never had any digestive problems and his coat is always lovely and shiney. He just adores being bathed too and afterwards he has this crazy mad run around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took hundreds of photos that morning but I particularly love this one. seen your dog pics - gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I especially like this one Well, the one with the tongue out was priceless, but I would embarrass your dog by posting it What a lovely colour dog My friend's lab has cut his paw on some glass, so I have been dressing it for them - he's wearing a very unphotogenic boot over the dressing at the moment. He's a big, black lab - not fat, just biiiiig boned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoxy Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 So glad I started this thread...great advice, great pics...just brilliant THANK YOU all Heidi can go out today...tried her on her lead in the house...a little practice...and she isn't keen to walk anywhere...my friends yellow lab puppy was exactly the same at the beginning.

MarkBevBen Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Awww have a lovely day Snoxy and Heidi, enjoy your walk Our Ben seems to like it better when we can have him off lead and at first he didn't half pull, so we used a harness for him for a short time. He doesn't need it anymore now though as he's learn't how to walk on the lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 I got some advice from a gentleman in PAH a few weeks ago...he suggested a Halti harness if Heidi pulls...he said it worked wonders for his very large dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 when we got Ozzie, the Kent Lab Rescue people arranged for their dog trainer/psychologist/whatever to come and see us after a couple of weeks. Oz has always pulled dreadfully on the lead, in fact it's a complete pain, but luckily I dont have to use it that much because of where we are. however, I was advised to do a kind of waltz with him - walk a little in one direction, as soon as the pulling starts, about turn and go the other way, and then just keep doing it, giving a treat or a pat when they follow you. it is supposed to confuse them so they stay close!! I've never really had the application to keep on with it. interestingly though, Oz knows which are 'proper' walkies, ie go mad, run in manic circles, leap in the sea/river etc, and the late night ones when we just go round the block - he's an angel on these ones, barely pulls at all.

Snoxy Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 More great advice..thank you Ozzie sounds like a 'super' dog...absolutely gorgeous looking dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 thanks snoxy. most of the time he is perfect, and adorable and very much adored. his main vice is greed - the other half found him yesterday with a box of eggs on the kitchen floor!!!! he'd snaffled it off the worktop, and amazingly managed to get it down to floor level without breaking any of the eggs, and was just pushing it about trying to open it - little s*d!!! he's very funny if I give him a whole egg (which I do if they are cracked) - takes it outside very gently, then drops it on the patio so that it cracks and then laps up the whole thing, shell and all!
