      Just seen this as i have got to say Ava is sooooo cute. It sounds to me like Ava is teething atm. My advice would be is to get her carrots and chop the into long chunky strips and put them in the freezer for her to chew on. I promise that they will be come your best friend. Xx

      I can highly recommend a company called www.natural-treats.co.uk - they make all their own treats in the UK and are always excellent quality. The mixed grill platter is great for trying a variety of the items and she'll probably love a pigs hoof, keeps them busy for AGES! Much cheaper than pets at home too :)

      The people next to me moved in about a month ago. They have some little dog who starts howling around 10:00 every morning and doesn't stop until late in the afternoon (probably when the owner comes home from work).
      Normally I would try (can't, too loud) to ignore it but I can't. I've developed a bone disease and need more sleep than I used to. Wish I didn't have this dilemma. I love dogs and don't want to see them hurt.

    I got my Springer at 10 weeks in August 2020 and I have had a lot of dogs in my life, but nothing prepared me for the stress the little guy gave me. Actually, he was great as far as house training, but he was a nightmare with his biting and his sharp little claws. I tried all the tricks and nothing worked. I was really at my wit's end, My arms were full of scratches and bites. Eventually he slowly got better and better and now at 3 and half he is pretty normal. He play bites with me but it never hurts. I am telling you this though to encourage those in similar situations to stick it out if they can. However, if I had little children at the time, I don't think I could have kept him. Now he is the love of my life but what a time it was. Whew!

    Hi Joel, To help Ava, with Separation anxiety when you leave her "put something with your Scent on it in her Crate." i.e. (Shirt from night before or something that smells like you) and something you don't care about if, She ruins it. ALL My Cockerspaniels, did really well with that trick. Also, don't make a BIG deal of leaving. You can say "Ava, Daddy will be back in a few minutes!" Then leave but when you return "Praise her" for being " So good & Brave!" Everytime!
    She's just the Cutest Baby♥️😘 Blessings to You & Ava,

      All the trainers I've spoke to about leaving a dog alone is to not fuss them when u get back. This is because while ur out the house, they're looking forward to u coming home as they get a big fuss or treats. This makes them more likely to start pacing/howling/barking in anticipation. I guess both methods work but it's good to have another way of training them if ur having trouble. Also it's handy to leave ur phone on record so u can hear if they're barking or not when u first start doing this.

      ​ Joel Wood - I don't understand this whole thing of wanting to 'blow dry' your dog, but whatever.
      I live by the sea and between it, the showers and the rain, the dogs are often wet as much as not. We give them a good rub down with a towel and they love it, but that it is.
      We have a blow dryer, that barely gets used at all, but certainly not on the dogs. Nothing wrong with idea, it's just that we never thought of it, nor can I imagine being bothered to do it, as it would be a sort of endless pursuit of what will happen naturally enough, soon enough.
      Nearly every day the dogs are wet once or twice, and If I were to blow dry them every time, that'd take a good chunk out of my week. They love to be toweled off, in fact they fight for it, and it really can do quite a good job at drying them off, and it only takes a few minutes, combined.
      I don't understand the need or want of blow drying your dog, but that's your choice. Yes, it makes sense to break her into it at a young age.

    Some friendly advice, dont give her attention when she whines etc as it will make her very needy. If she is not left alone for short periods of time to get used to her own company, she is not going to cope when you do have to leave her. She will become top dependent on you which might sound nice (for you), however it's very unhealthy for a dog. She should be happy to be with you, however she should be happy on her own as well for a while. If you dont get her used to that and encourage this dependency on you, both of you are going to have a very serious problem as she gets older. No offence, just some friendly advice from someone who has owned dogs for over 30 years

You have got to be hard at times but that makes it easier for the dog in the long term. My aunt had a cocker and because he was babied all the time and was given attention every single time he cried etc, they couldnt leave him alone in the house even for a minute as he became anxious. This is in the owner who made the mistake and now the dog is paying the price. Sorry if you disagree, however, a dog too dependent on its owner will suffer. Owners may like being their dogs "everything", however it's not healthy for any dog, including cockers.

    I know this is a month old but when washing her ears, ALWAYS dry the inside of her ears. Try and not get the insides wet but if you do just make sure you dry them. Due to having long ears they don’t get air to them to air dry and then it causes them to smell really bad and can get infections and all that!

    • @dobiebloke9311
      @dobiebloke9311 5 лет назад

      pooh@22 - I very much agree with that, but I would add, that I wouldn't do it quite that way.
      To my mind, 'drop' should be a separate command, not associated with play. So in terms of 'fetch', I would say, very casually, 'If you want me to throw it, you'll have to give it me'. I know that sounds long winded, and it is, but the dog knew what I meant by it, which is the point.
      Of course I would never try to take a toy from a dog's mouth, unless I was looking for a tug game, which I would announce to the dog.
      This is why I would reserve the command of 'Drop', for other occasions. It means, as for whatever reason, the game is now over, so just drop it. I will not throw it, I will not admonish you, but just do it, for whatever reason I need it to be done, which there is usually a cause for, not always understood by the dog, but it doesn't need to be. It just needs to be dropped. It's a command I would save for when I really needed it, and not just in a game.
      Now, once the dog drops it, you might give it some praise, if not a treat, but the game is over. You pick it up, put it away, where ever, but that is the end of the story. There is no 'fetch' after the 'Drop' command, until you, as alpha, engage otherwise.

    Joel... DAHling... it's a difficult task but you mustn't let yourself create a needy pet because when you leave, she'll be frightened, anxious and eventually quite destructive. It's called separation anxiety. Play time is essential. Meal time is important to share. When she eats, you eat. These moments reassure her you're both part of the same pack. Try not to allow her to always be on you. Save those moments for specific times of day. You can pay attention to her but physical cuddling is best before bedtime and upon returning home for a period of time. Try not to make a big deal of your return home. Even ignore her for the first few minutes. Never let her lead you. You lead her. You enter the house first, then her. Lead train her immediately. Don't carry her around. Potty training is the most important thing right now. Take an empty soda can, add some coins or small rocks and watch her carefully. If she looks like she's going to pee, shake that can and say firmly, "EVA NO!" When doing this always use her name. You're not going to harm her with this. You're teaching her to listen when you speak. Don't let her cuteness become her super power over you. She'll learn to respect you more and the home.

    Ava will totally chill eventually. These puppy stages are hard work! When our dog was a pup, we decided to stop crating him when we were gone. Just little bits here and there. One night he was left out for quite a while. We were at the hospital with my mom while she was passing. We came home to find about a 4x4 foot area of carpet ripped back, all of the way to the plywood. It happened another time after that when he somehow locked himself in a bedroom with the cat. I remember wanting to get rid of him because I was so frustrated and he was my first puppy. Fast forward 7 years, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE him soooo much! He's such a good boy.

She gets us once in a while but being a parent is totally worth it.

    When I rescued my puppy about 10 years ago ...
    The rescue agency sent someone over for a "home visit" to tell you things like don't have computer wires down on the floor.
    But the guy told me the best advice. He very deliberately said, "I want you to know that there will absolutely come a day when all you are thinking is ... WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?!"
    It was such a relief when I would get frustrated to just remind myself... oh, right this is what that guy was talking about.
    It is very easy to rescue a puppy... it just requires plenty of patience. Puppies are usually at breed specific rescue agencies. In US every breed has a rescue and that is where you should search for a rescue and if you are patient and persistent you can get a puppy.

    A housebreaking suggestion is to take her out approximately every 2 hours initially to pee and/or poop so that she gradually learns that outside is where she is to go; not in the house. Even if she doesn't have to go right then she'll realize outside is the place. Then gradually increase the time between bathroom breaks. Otherwise, it wouldn't take too many days of going inside for her to learn the inside is the place to pee and poop. Not what you want. It was a great idea to take her out during the night. A puppy learns fast, either good or bad habits. My dog would stay inside without any accident for 12 hours during the day. The goal is for her to tell you, through howling or jumping up and down that she has to go outside which she will do eventually. My vet said that dogs really do not want to pee or poop in their house,but they have to be trained.

  • @SweetAmber00

    My best advice would be to socialize. Socialize her with both people and animals. Our dog barks like crazy whenever we have visitors or he sees other animals and people out on walks. Also when giving her a bath avoid water in ears or dry them real good after because dogs with floppy ears can get yeast infections in their ears.
    Edit: I just saw you did mention socialization.

    What a smart little puppy you have! I love watching how quickly Ava is learning the things you are teaching her. I couldn't help but laugh when you were teaching her to howl. I'm afraid you may end up regretting that but it was definitely fun to watch. Poor Oscar looked as if he wasn't sure what to think about the two puppies. At one point it looked as if he was trying to "herd" them. So very cute! I really enjoyed watching you and Ava together. Thanks so much for sharing!

  • @JenniferSmith-25
    @JenniferSmith-25 5 лет назад +3

    I have fallen in love with little Miss Ava!🤗 My advice on potty training is when Ava wakes, starts sniffing around, finishes eating and stops playing, immediately take her outside. If she has an potty accident inside, place one of her puppy pads in that place. With new puppies, one must be ever vigilant. It’s very tiring at first, but she (and you 😉) will quickly form a routine.

    • @dobiebloke9311
      @dobiebloke9311 5 лет назад +2

      Jennifer Smith - I basically agree with what you say, but I have a few exceptions. I've potty trained many pups, many more than most, even at my age, for reasons I won't go into, but for the betterment of mankind, so to speak.
      The way I look at it, is when a puppy drinks or eats, it's not long until they will have to relieve themselves, so a large part of diligence, is just being aware of that, and from there, if you put in the attention, it's really not that hard to train them.
      Rather than teach her to howl (which was immensely cute), better to teach her to bark at the door, whether she wants to come in, or go out. That's were success lies.
      As well, as a last resort, when you finally can get her to pee on a pad, you are in tall cotton. Just take the pad outside, so that she can sniff it, and maybe make the connection. Just keep piling them up until she gets the idea.
      It shouldn't take long, but the worst thing that you could do, would be to just throw them away, as she'll never get the connection then. Wee pads or old newspapers (the later of which I'm sure that Joel doesn't have any of, as if he's not 'old school'), but you're just setting yourself up for disaster, either way.
      If the dog doesn't pee on the wee pad, just put the pad on it, to soak it up if nothing else, and then, when the dog finally pees on that pad, put it outside, and of course, replace it with a fresh one, in the same place, right by the door, as accidents do happen, when proper diligence isn't paid. This is a two month old pup, let's not forget.
      At this point Joel, it's all your fault, for not paying attention. I'm only half kidding, as it is a two way street.

    As a hairstylist I trained my 11 year old Ragdoll/Norwegian Forest cats to like the hairdryer, when they were kittens. It's a good idea Joel. Also until she's had her vaccinations/shots, I kind of would keep her away from people and other animals just in case somebody's animal didn't get their shots but she looks like she loves playing with her cousins and her other puppy friends. I can remember my vet told me to keep my kittens away until they were vaccinated from the kids I used to part-time nanny for but I did slip up and let them see the kittens but I made sure they washed their hands after, but it's because of the distemper chance I think. Have you taught her how to stay yet? That's kind of a really hard one.

    One thing that will help with her going berserk and biting at you is when she starts biting you stand up and turn your back, make yourself as boring as possible to her so she doesn't feel like play biting you is a game. Also make sure she gets plenty of exercise in order to burn off that energy. One thing you can look up on RUclips is episodes of a show called It's Me or the Dog, it's hosted by an experienced dog trainer and she's based out of the UK. The cases on the shows are extreme however you can get a lot of helpful tips for training out bad behaviors early before they become an emergency situation.

    Joel you can train her to jingle a ribbon of bells that can be but on door handle. Keep telling her no with force for biting! Keep all cords up. You can also use a spray bottle of Apple cider vinegar and water to help control her behavior. They hate Apple cider vinegar, however it is good for her coat. I also spray it on all urine spots. Learn to ignore her a little more otherwise you will make a lifelong needy dog.
