    Doberman Anxieties

    I like to think it’s not my handling cause he’s got this issue with my boyfriend as well. Not only that but we’ve gone the last 8 months or so with no issues and for some reason he started regressing again. We are very patient and nurturing and do everything right by him in every way possible...

    Doberman Anxieties

    Side note I forgot. The next level of fear is when I try to work him through it and walk by once he’s by it he tries to run and pulls so hard forward his prong collar has been cutting his neck often leaving little marks and it breaks my heart. I try so hard to just get him to stop and slow down...

    White Bump on Dobies Ear

    No we’ve been done posting for 3-4 months now. It just appeared after he went camping with my boyfriend so maybe a bug bite ? The vet was overwhelming me with information about it maybe is a hystiocytoma or a viral papilloma but didn’t even seem sure so I thought I’d turn to this forum which is...

    White Bump on Dobies Ear

    Hi there! I found this white bump on my 9 month old dobies ear and don’t know what it is. It’s gotten little bigger over the last few days. Doesn’t seem to be bothering him too much.. he was scratching a bit today but nothing crazy. He doesn’t seem in pain when I touch it and the vet is unsure...

    8 Month Old Fears & Anxieties

    I take him to the park everyday to watch the people, the dogs and just take in the sounds. Something I’m doing to continued exposing him to as much as possible. When I sit down he lays on me as close as possible but his head is moving a mile a minute looking in every direction. One second he’s...

    8 Month Old Fears & Anxieties

    Thanks for all your replies ! Always helpful. In the moment it depends on what I’ll do. Not knowing what triggers him makes it hard to react or not react. Sometimes we are just walking and he starts losing it and pulling and pulling me with him like he can’t even feel his prong. If it’s a moment...

    8 Month Old Fears & Anxieties

    Hi guys! In need of some help with my 8 month old boy onyx. We have struggled with him and his anxieties since the day we brought him home at eight weeks something we thought would go away at first because he was just a baby, but still remains. He has these irrational fears of things that...

    Feeding 2 or 3 times a day ? when to switch

    Yeah so he’s totally back to normal now. It’s been about a month since this all happened but he’s back on track and doing better than ever. We give him goat milk kefir with his breakfast everyday! We also continue to give the probiotics and have a gut soothe product on hand that has helped in...

    Feeding 2 or 3 times a day ? when to switch

    Yeah ok perfect. We don’t force onyx to do anything he doesn’t want to. I can tell when he’s hyper and has to get his energy out. His day stats with breakfast followed by a nice walk or indoor games (if it’s raining or super cold) with prey drive toys, followed by a nap. After that we take him...

    Feeding 2 or 3 times a day ? when to switch

    No cats! We watch him 24/7 but obviously t there’s always a chance of them getting into something. Giardia is a very difficult one to avoid. They lead with their nose and mouth usually follows. Vet says it could have been from anything. We live in downtown Toronto Canada so it’s a big and...

    Feeding 2 or 3 times a day ? when to switch

    Thanks for the info! So I can better understand the photo you attached and what you’re saying about the bone growth, how much should he be exercising daily then at this age. And what Risks are involved when running + bone plate growth. Also in terms of him being sick we are not really sure. He...
