Yeah, the one time he got sick and lost weight, it took a good 2-3 weeks to come back. Adjusting the amount based on the activity makes so much sense, ill definitely add that to the routine

Gotcha, thanks so much. I'll definitely keep you updated as we go! Hes a great little guy, id love for you all to get to know him better

Good to know! I did some research. My numbers are probably a bit rough but hes getting about 1700kcals/day but should probably be getting at least 1981 kcals, probably a bit more now that he is behind in weight. I just meal prepped his food for the next couple of days and increased the amount he...

He is eating about 2.75 lbs a day.

Thank you, yeah its become more evident that he is too thin. Didn't think I could trust the vet on this one. I'm hoping the person who made his meal plan will be able to adjust it quickly ... I guess I'll feed him more beef right now, but I cant do that for long, the diet won't be balanced.

Hey guys! This is Rajah. Hes 7 months now and smaller than I thought he would be. He's barely gained any weight in the past 2 months, but the vet seems unconcerned, saying that he's just in that weird teenage stage where it's hard to put weight on them ... but I thought this would be a time...

He's 5 months. You may be right, but when I first got him, I was in the process of moving out of my parents home. He lived there for 3 weeks and we visit often. He's very familiar with the house. Grant it, when i got him he slept in my room, but i need him to be able to sleep in the basement...

I think the von schwarz doberman kennel has some westerns lines ... they would certainly know of some breeders

I guess it should be noted: At home, his crate is in my room and at my parents house its in the basement, but we spend a lot of time down there when we visit He has a wire crate at my house, and we use a plastic travel crate at my parents. He'll outgrow the plastic crate and ill have to get...

Its actually a VERY persistent bark/howl. He is crazy lol because he knows he can't come out of the crate acting up, so if I Have to take him out, to eat or use the bathroom, and he is barking at the time, ill approach him and wait till he stops, mark when he stops barking/crying, open the...

so Rajah is a bit old to be dealing with this problem, but he still occasionally cries in his crate. Sometimes he is perfectly content and will even go in himself to chew his bone or relax, but if I'm in another room working or any situation (other than bedtime) when I put him in there, there is...

How old is Asha and do you let passing dogs sniff and introduce themselves. Do you allow people to pet her?

This has all been such great advice. I really appreciate you guys

Thanks, I'll look to see if I can find anything similar in my area, but I would just worry that he would start to find other dogs too interesting. I only want him to have interest in people and dogs that I have a relationship with. I love the idea of structured class and this would be my choice...

I think you're right. You can't go wrong with treats and lots of praise when he's presenting the correct behavior. I just want him to learn to keep a cool head in any situation. Because you're right, we and our dogs will be blamed first. I got lucky with Mirage who is an American Bully, shes...

That's what i was going for originally, but after his reaction to meeting a family dog he hadn't met yet, I'm no longer sure it's the best option. Idk if I should stick to my guns or change it up ... he's also met plenty of people but they've all been family or friends. He's gotten rubs at...

I think I like option 2 better. I just have to get him out more. I don't like walking him around my neighborhood because we've seen too many dogs out in their yards with no supervision and no leashes! So he hasnt really even seen too many dogs since we moved ... Yeah its a delicate balance. I...

My little guy Rajah is about 4.5 months old now. He's getting along very well with my female senior dog, Mirage. She corrects him now and again but they play well and he's been picking up on the boundaries she has set. He hasn't really met other dogs beyond her (only just finished his shots)...

Just an update to close out the thread. He started pooping again on Friday, so I guess his system had just had to reset. We went to the vet for our original appt on Saturday, but since he was acting 100% normal and no longer had diarrhea, we didn't do any blood panels or x-rays for blockages...

Little man hasn't attempted to pass any stool today l, but his energy is up and he ws excited for his food, so I'm starting to feel better and have decided to wait for his vet appointment this weekend.
