hi everyone! Has anyone encountered a challenge with their puppy not wanting to eat their food in the traditional 'dog' manner? My puppy seems disinterested in eating from his bowl but gets excited about human food. Any tips or advice on how to encourage him to eat his own food ..read more

Hi all so my 4 month long old Akita x Belgium Shepard won’t go to the toilet outside at all. She won’t go out on walks or when she’s out in the garden. As soon as I let her back in she will go on the puppy pad. I’m not sure if she was let out in the garden from the person I got her from but it’s like she wants to go but she’s unsure, I try to encourage her but she just won’t do it. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what could I try? Many thanks ..read more

He is fine in himself, bouncy playful and eager to go for a walk, he goes to the toilet normally too, nothing wrong there. Is this just a thing puppies do or should... Read more ..read more
