I didn't really teach him, he would just go when we were outside, and i just praised him every time so he knew it was a good thing.

Hi Mordy, yes I love NZ, but The USA has some amazing and beautiful places too. I spent 3mths there travelling around and I absolutely loved it, I really want to go back there but I am too broke at the moment!! Also I just want to say thanks again for all your helpful info about dog food, its...

Hi Spikestripe, I live in Auckland too:)

Hi Mordy, thanks for your reply, I have looked into some of the things that you suggested. They have listed all the vitamins/minerals, it was just long to write!! Also they say that all raw materials are sourced in NZ and wherever possible from the human food chain, and use no byproducts. It...

Hi Mordy, I know that you are really knowledgeable regarding dog food so I was wondering if you could give your opinion on this dog food. This is product made here in New Zealand called Ultra *Extruded not baked *No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives *Enriched with omega 3...

My 6 mth old chihuahua is litter box trained out of neccesity, I live in a 6th floor apartment and when I am at work he has to be inside. However that doesn't mean he always goes inside, when we are having walks he knows how to go on the grass, and when we go visiting I don't have a problem...

Hi everyone, I have a 5mth old chihuahua and he is adorable, however I am having no success leash training him. I just don't know what to do, I have tried using food as a lure to get him walking but most of the time he is just too busy hating the leash to care about food. He will walk...

Hi Phraud I am in the same situation as you, I live in a 6th floor apartment and it is just not practical to get downstairs everytime my 4 mth old chihuahua Baxter needs to go to the toilet. What i have done is paper train him by putting paper everywhere there was carpet and slowly make the...

Thats the thing Doberluv, he has been fine with me until yesterday after the whole harness episode, not shy at all and a lot of fun, he has been really confident with me and most of the other people he has been around since i got him. I got him from a breeder at 8 weeks, and he had 4...

Thank you all for your replies, I will definitely try those tips you gave. He (Baxter) eventually came out from under the sofa, and he seemed fine, but today he won't let me pick him up. Everytime I reach for him he runs away, so i guess I will have to earn his trust back. I knew that having a...

I have a 12 week old male Chihuahua who absolutely hates putting on the harness or his collar being touched at all. Today i had to practically wrestle him into the harness which I don't enjoy but I am afraid that if I don't get him used to it it will just get harder as he gets older. Anyway he...

I looked at that link you posted Mordy, and we have the Butch dog roll here, and I suspect that the Country Pet brand is made by the same company but under a different name. The Butch dog roll is sold here in supermarkets, it has been around for years. I was at the vet today and they were...

Thank you all for your replies. Mordy what do you mean by country pet? We have some other brands here which I have never heard mentioned on this site i.e Nutrience, Advance, Mastery. Canidae isn't really any more expensive than any of the other non-supermarket brands, all the pet shop/vet...

Hi Everyone, I live in New Zealand and have a 12 week old long-haired chihuahua (who is absolutely adorable- I'm not biased or anything!!!) I would be really grateful if anyone could give me advice on food. We don't have Innova here, so that is out. We have Royal Canin, Science Diet, Nutro...
