nice dogs you have here..how to make the coat shine?

This post has been edited by conangirl: Jan 8 2008, 10:34 PM

Hi,

I just bought an A. Silky Terrier. Female, 2 mths. I would like to ask;

1. Is it they love to bite for the first few months? Until when they will stop, cause she keep chasing me to bite on my toes and when i show the finger and scold her, she don't care and want to bite my finger too!!I had bought her toys to play with but she seems not interested to play..

2. How to toilet trained her? She seems like haven't understand what I say..sigh

3. The pet shop said give her 2 meals per day, but she don't want to eat in the morning. She just take few bites then don't want anymore. Then later take few again. Any idea how to let her eat ?

Please help. This is my first time have a puppy. Don't know how to treat and trained them. My house will held a lot of party throughout the year, so I must trained her faster to be polite (not bite and toilet trained) to the guest at least.

Thanks a lot,
Sharon W

thanks for your comments and advice... but all the advice i also have tried before (i had do researched). He seems not very responsive to what we said..she just keep chasing and biting our toes and fingers...

It's okey you merged the threads. Easier for me to check and follow up too...Actually it's my friend recommend me to open a new thread here. Sorry for the inconvenience cause..

I knew what you're trying to say, maybe I never raised a puppy that young before, previously all my dogs i raised them in their 6 to 8 months of age onwards. So they feel more easy with ppl around.

Thanks for your advice. Anyway, today she learn a lesson. She try to bite my friend's adult shih tzu, (always do this whenever got chance)the shih tzu can't stand it anymore and bark at her (never bark and angry with her no matter what she does, VERY TAME doggy).She's so scared. Now she not dare chase and bite the shih-tzu.

Hahaha...you got really playful dog, i hope to enjoy the bites too, but she bites until bleed la. She don't want to let go although we pull her (not dare to pull too hard, afraid of hurting her).

saw it on Sunday too... pay rise ? Sunday still RM11XX... so cheap.. cheaper than my Mika..

does my Mika looks pure breed?
[attachmentid=379587]
sorry, no pic without cloth in this laptop..

when I bath my puppy, i apply the shampoo like human;
get wet, rub the shampoo all over, rinse. If i want to use human conditioner, can I do like this as well?
can use cold water for puppy too? (2+months old only)won't get sick?

thanks for your advice...

the wax you mean is it the black color things on the ear wall ? i saw some of it today in one of the ear. The ear that already stands up looks very clean..

any doggie ear drop will do is it? any brand recommend for puppy?

thanks again...

T.Midah...and u?

hi zeist ,
how's the bathing with Doris?

babymiki,
quite near also, hope can see you around here...

andyfriends,
got injections for heartworms?

zeist,

i bath Mika once a week...but have no problem to bath her cause she loves water..i'm using shower nozzle to bath her..head also just pour like this but need to dry it properly after that especially ear...she likes me scratch her body when applying shampoo too....just stand there, didn't shake at all during whole bathing session..after finish only she will shakes off all the water...

and Mika just get her 3rd jab...can meet in near future... hahahaha ...

she start to take heartguard on the 3rd jab, i give her chewable one (1/1) and dewormed tablet (1/4 cause she just weight at 2 kg) every month until she reach 6 months of age, the dewormed can reduce to 3 months once(actually suppose 6 months once but she's like vacuum cleaner when she's out).

this month seems like many doggies events...so when should we meet ler?

babymiki,
yeah, like andyfriends's zhu zhu, just stay there and didn't move...make the bathing easier

andyfriends,
mine one i need to feed myself, actually the vet said give it 6 months once after she reach 6 months old, but since Mika like vacuum cleaner, she need to take more often, 3 months once.

zeist,
yeah, don't shower her with too hot water..will make her skin itchy and not good for the fur too...

i don't know what dewormed tablet it is cause it was prescribed separately from a bottle. For the time being i just need to give her 1/4 tablet cause she just weight at 2kg...when she reach 3 kg, need to take half liao...that's why need to weigh them every month.

when is Doris 3rd jab?

axoloke,
as what babymiki said, you may feed your puppy with milk up to 4 months old, but of coz if reach 8 weeks liao need to include kibbles as well in their diet. But when you look at the milk powder that sell on the shelve, there stated just feed milk in few weeks right after birth only, usually after 2months old will stop taking. or maybe you can soak your kibbles with some milk and give together but remember cannot put there too long cause milk cannot expose to humidity air for too long, will spoil..

DEAR ALL,
Any silky want to join when me and zeist meet up that time? Hope to know more experience and new owner that day...

babymiki,
em..should be pet safari cause if need to buy anything during the discussion also can get it right there...or maybe somewhere around there...as for the date and time not decide yet...might be this month or next month gua...

axoloke,
your pup is female or male? can post some picture?

chrisoys,

can bring our furkids to this sunday petster launching?

babymiki, yeah, we can meet up if possible.

zeist, is it Doris? Ah, she looks so "guai". Looks at camera also... if my Mika, surely try to bite the camera or jump down already

Mika won't afraid of ANYTHING...that's the big problem...she most afraid is strange places...that's why i can't take any good picture of her nowaday...need my bf help if really need one cause he will use his DSLR L lens for long distance focus to catch her in "action".

Doris bark all the day? I think she want to get your attention is it? Mika bark only when she heard of weird sound...or some sound that she don't know where it is come from... very curious little babe... sometimes will bark at my bf's shih-tzu and get scold by me hahahhaha

as for her fur, i comb whenever it looks messy or at least once a day cause if comb too often she will looks very oily (dirty for me)...u can try feed her cod liver oil and use conditioner as recommend by vet...(mika haven't take any conditioner and the cod liver oil cause no money now )Mika's fur also looks very dry...will buy for her once got extra money
