Ferris still has a habit of trying to herd me at home, usually when I'm in the kitchen. He won't stop trying to bite my feet, and every time I try to take him to his punishment corner to make him…Continue

Ferris is a tri color and I've noticed that on his back he's growing a few white hairs. Should I be worried?Continue

What is an effective way to cut Ferris' nails? It's a horrible pain whenever I try and I rarely succeed. He hates it and will thrash around until I give up.Continue

Momo Taro Lundgren & Mommy pk replied to Ferris's discussion Nipping at home and jumping on walks"I'd suggest a timeout room, somewhere he can't see you period, instead of just a corner. Momo, was quite a nipper and attacker when we first got him, but after three days of strict discipline, each time he 'nipped or…"
Anna Morelli replied to Ferris's discussion Nipping at home and jumping on walks"keep the leash short (no slack) and coming off the center of the neck in back where he can't reach it. If that doesn't work, you can buy a lightweight chain leash and use this until he's over this puppy stage."
Jane Christensen replied to Ferris's discussion Nipping at home and jumping on walks"I agree with Bev but I add the word "owe" in a high screech like it really hurt...absolutely no attention when you turn away. It does work but you need to be very consistant."
Bev Levy replied to Ferris's discussion Nipping at home and jumping on walks"When he goes for your feet, freeze and turn your back on him. He will need an immediate stop in the fun in order to get that this is not OK with you. For leash biting, stop say no and wait until he stops to move. Puppies are just trying to have fun…"

Ferris still has a habit of trying to herd me at home, usually when I'm in the kitchen. He won't stop trying to bite my feet, and every time I try to take him to his punishment corner to make him stop he runs away from me! How can I get him to stop? Also when we're on walks he loves to try to jump up and bite the leash, what can I do to fix this? See More

Nicole Emma Irving replied to Ferris's discussion Nail Cutting?"I started mine young using a human nail clipper because their nails are so tiny when they're puppies. I use a grinder, I do not cut. Both of my dogs took to the grinder in different ways. With Roxy, I sit down with my legs crossed and sit her…"

Ray Cronin replied to Ferris's discussion Nail Cutting?"Agree. I use a Dremel and it took a couple of slow and careful months to get Torri to be calm about it. She still isn't thrilled with the process, but tolerates it knowing there will be a treat at the end. We do it every week…"
Danika White replied to Ferris's discussion Nail Cutting?"After many battles we take Bear to the vet or groomer to have his nails trimmed. He tolerates them doing it with no fuss. We're all happier!"

Bev Levy replied to Ferris's discussion Nail Cutting?"I use Petsmart, not that expensive and a lot less drama. Having them use the grinder costs a little more but is better."
Bogart the Cardigan replied to Ferris's discussion Nail Cutting?"I will add one more vote for the PetSmart groomers, and first it took 2 people but now Bogart gets his nails done without fuss (dremmel tool) by one person. It is worth it to me to pay for it so we don't have any "drama" at home."
Stacey replied to Ferris's discussion Nail Cutting?"With my first corgi I made the mistake of not getting her used to having her nails done as a puppy and often. So my method now is to use the dremel and have them lay on their sides. I give them a bully stick to chew on (the only time…"

Sleepy Puppy
Posted on July 21, 2012 at 12:32am 3 Comments 0 Likes
I never realized how much a puppy could sleep! Ferris probably sleeps more than 16 hours a day. It's quite nice to have a break from all the hectic puppy stress, but sometimes I wish he would wake up and play too. How long does this constant nap time phase last?
