  1. Sounds like its just drinking to fast, you could try less water then top up after a minute or ice cubes in the water to slow drinking speed (or on there own) also a kids paddling pool to cool her down (lots of blood in pads)
  2. The advice you have had is good, also look around on this site for older posts will get more ideas, would just add a few things try puppy pads(or news paper it cheaper ) or what ever breeder used for now just so he learns to go in same place if he cant make it outside will also make your life easyer cleaning it up off a non carpeted floor use a bit off paper with wee smell on it under pads/paper so he gets the idea. Teach him wee, poo inside and outside (or whatever woods you use) when he gets to know these words will be easyer to show/tell him where he should go and make a fuss and give him loads of praise when he gets it right(and he will) I wouldnt tell him no when he goes in wrong place as 1 - he may think you dont want him to wee/poo 2 - he will work out that he gets attention when he wees/poos inside and may do it just for this reason As for stairs try putting him on lead and walk up stairs first (but dont drag him you dont want to scare him) keep lead tight so he cant move anywhere but up with you and wait till he gives up and follows you (sounds easy but may take time) then repeat till he relises that they arnt scary, you can also try this at a run so you would run around a bit(distracting him) then run up stairs and he may go up after you thinking its part of the game(maybe)
  3. Deus does this also but mainly when he wants something (normally a walk )
  4. Get this all the time as Deus is Red/White and my favourite is "he's not a Husky he's not got blue eyes" but as for colourist I dont think it maters as all Huskys look lovely
  5. Some celtic names Aithne/Edna/Ethne - all mean fire Reed (english) - means Redheaded
  6. Kiddie pool is the way to go also frozen yogart :cool:
  7. Derry another Irish name that means redhead Edana an Irish name that means Little fire Fionnghuala or Fenella or Finella all mean white shouldered Faoiltiama an Irish name that means wolf lady
  8. Nothing else to add apart from what a lovley girl
  9. "I call her in and she completely ignores me so I walk calmly to her and try to grab her harness but EVERYTIME I try to do this, she runs." Looks like she wanted to play, so try playing with her get her favorite toy and get her to chase/follow you (toy) to where you want to go when there get her to sit and calm down b4 giving it to her (will show her that you chose play time) praise her when she does what you want her to do (lots of verbal and physical praise as this will show her its worth doing what you tell her) or try bribing her with treats to come in (again lots of praise when she does) "So this gets me kind of frustrated every time. So I storm inside the house" I know its easy to say but try to stay calm, dogs want and look for strong leadership, would a good leader wouldnt walk (storm) away after being ignored? Sorry didnt mean to sound mean but the quicker she knows that ur the boss and should do what u say the better, if she gets away with one thing she will try other things "JELLY NO!" -panicked voice- And she runs and it takes forever to catch her Again as above stay calm tell her once "NO" in a firm voice and stay/stop whatever u taught her, then go get it off her (teach her drop/let go) and when she does what you want again lots of praise, if she runs don't chase her, follow her calmly till she runs out of room to run then get it off her but tell her drop/let go and when she does praise her (Again I know when you see your possessions being destoyed its hard to stay calm and not chase but if you chase she gets to play and have fun) "My house is stupid but we don't have any doors for each room" You could try a child gate to restrict her to certain parts of the house (would be handy for you to protect expensive furniture etc or protect her from chewing cables etc) "Blisters on my feet from all the running and scraping my foot along the carpet... So what do I do to fix this?" slippers or indoor socks ( for that) "Do those fences look tall enough that she can't jump over them?" Hard to tell from photo but they should be at least 6 feet high, if you want peace of mind you could try chaining her to somthing solid with a long chain (long enough to get drinks, find shade and poo away from where she would sleep etc but short enough so she wont climb over fence and strangle herself) "I do give her a little bonk on the nose when she does get in trouble more like a light tap and a stern no" Personally I dont get physical with my dog (hes 9.5 months old) as I think it teaches them that its ok for them to do it but I have read both sides of the argument and its up to you what you do for your dog and when you do it, but a little bonk wont hurt her so how effective will it be? If someone hit you gently would it teach you anything or make you feel bad? Or if someone told you you were a good girl and scratched your ear (or gave you a hug ) would it make you feel good?
  10. Not fair thats what I was going for 53 for GB
