Re: Food Help

Been a little while, Hawk is doing great. His hair is more lose curley then do rag tight tight curly. Not sure if that was anything other than a bath that did that or not. But! His poops are noticeably smaller. He did get into the pantry while at work the other day, not sure what he ate but came out...

Re: Food Help

Yeah I kinda read it the same way. Im a contractor and work at several Iams/eukanuba, royal canin, and other manufacturers. Very impressive facilities. Purina plants I go to are for cattle feed only around here, and hopefully their dog/cat food facilities are not like their cattle feed ones. Its ter...

Re: Food Help

Ppp is not agreeing with my pup. He kept me up all night puking, then the house hade puke all over when I got home from work. Stools seem normal. It is possible he got into something or another I don't know about. I'll give it another day, Eukanuba is back on petco shelves. I'm almost half tempted t...

So I have been reading a lot of you feed PPP, I will most likely go with this but have heard of a few issues with the new formula. What do you guys sugge...

Chesapeake Training

I am still having an issue with nipping "play nipping". I correct him non stop. I have used "the claw" with a loud "blah" sound that backs him off successfully for a second until he thinks I'm playing and then proceed to bark growl and act like he is going to bite at me. He will not make contact but...

Re: Hello&Chessie

Thanks all. I got a couple of books and some youtube channels has helped quite a bit. The only issue lately is still the play biting. I will handle it. I see it taking some time and firm corrections but we will get there. Hawk will come"ish" and sit, and he is enjoying all the retrieving games. He g...
