so now you try keep looking for boarder first? If not then bring your dog go KL to board with personal boarders. If not, you buy after CNY. Slow slow find... how long you will stay melaka? Pls bear in mind this is only your first problem. In future, whenever you still need go back hometown, you still face this difficulties. Settle this problem first before you buy the dog is good. Not that you settle this year CNY then you no nid worry your holiday later.

I think jason need balik kampung haha but there are still a few home boarder.

buy at least 4 pieces playpen (like gates), actually 6 best for MS, got more space to stretch out. This one u can easy keep if u dun need, and when u need to cage ur dog, u can use playpen.

collar (and leash)

potty training spray is not necessary.. where you wan train him to peepoo?

get one ear cleaner too.

clipper and scissors can try seapark pet supplies. If you want cheaper one, can find at Sg Wang.

Then no nid buy the potty train spray. Get some newspaper, put at the place you want him poo, bring him there to pee/poo. Puppy usually pee a lot of times a day. I experienced 8-10 times pee a day before with my Sushi that is about 7 weeks old. about 3 -4 months, my Miki still 4-5 pee a day. Really headache. So best you got time, you must fast fast potty train your new puppy. Bring him to the newspaper every hour, he pee or not dun care just sayang him and say good boy When you see he going to pee, fast fast bring him to newspaper. Patient is the key minimize error also make him learn faster. Just don't scold if he make mistake, just fast fast bring to newspaper and praise him.

Like waichee said, sgwang 3rd *i thought 4th floor* got a lot shop selling saloon equipment. You ask for the pets one. Price range RM120-RM400. If you only clip you own one dog, even the cheap one also can, waichee also use RM150 one only.

Added on January 3, 2009, 3:34 pmActually I also won't recommend you feed orijen. Orijen got about 44% protein, where most of the petfood for puppy out there is about 22-32% protein. They said you need to cut down to 70% portion if you feeding with orijen to lower down the protein intake... but it may be hard for new owner and hungry puppy.

You can try innova, california natural, natural balance, evangers, addiction, eagle pack holistic or even blackwood. What brand you easily get in Malacca? As I concern, you can't find orijen in Malacca? Later you need to buy another pack you go KL buy somemore? Just recently a friend from Malacca telling me her difficulties in getting nice kibbles.

I long time no go midvalley there loo.. dunno.. but i think any petshop also can get all the basic thing la, just dunno if got the brand you want. And I think they will be a little expensive?

Wireless good for beginner, no nid stuck with wires. Yeah better go PLC Ikano, more things to see. But I still prefer Seapark... to get supplies la..

say "bang" and make him into "bang" position and say good boy, sayang, giv treats...... repeat few times sure he know.

same with roll over .. or basically any trick. Give command, make him do it, sayang him.

yeah...

though some book say use the treat to lure him in front of his nose, i just cant get that works. just turn him all over LOL...

Got ppl used the baking soda method, but I did not try before. As long as he don't drinks it then ok.

seapark pet supplies, ss2, same row with poh kong.

many ppl use the pet professional series of clipper, around RM150.. so far nobody complains. More info you try ask waichee.

eh i thought i posted something, hilang?

OB class, cost about RM100-200, either MKA, puppy.com, or petnyou. Maybe still got others but I dont know.

The price is for 10 classes. And the classes usually on Sunday morning.

Yes lor, buy those snack in pack pack pack hahahha yes if u feed a lot reali pok kai. If your kids react to kibbles for treat den can han fan a lot

@frenly, i guess your dog is just another parti-MS. I saw some similar to yours in some oversea forum. Its okay as a pet dog, as long as he is healthy

no.. parti MS is not a mix MS. its MS in parti-colour, just not recognised lor. Its normal. One of our member here got cow-patches MS somemore, and looks cute

This is one of the major problem. You clean immediately, and he sees it that you "treasure" it so much! You faster faster grab it away from him. He thought, what so fun about that thing? So he start to play. I am not joking, its true.

What you need to do is, when you see him poo correctly, praise him first. Then only go pick up the poo. Don't make a big mess over the poo... like never too excited.. "OMG HE POO POO... WHERE IS THE TISSUE???? DEAR... FASTER CLEAN LAA" Dogs don't understand our language but our tone. He thought, wow interesting! So that poo poo gain his interest. So when you clean away the poo, best is he don't see it.. but you also don't put there forever la... LOL

I hope you get what I mean.

I heard SP gives the highest revenue to both the petshops, and of course the vet. And most vets are brainwashed by SP. Don't bother getting SP, yes they are smelly.... super smelly! That is why most dogs love to eat, strong smell!

Nutri Source is a better choice. But last time when I feeding this, my MS go pee on the grass, the grass die... HAHA... I guess too acidic. After change to other kibbles, canidae, the grass become green back. Then orijen and now innova... never make my grass die.

Added on January 7, 2009, 2:56 pmpersonal preference. If you can't give much time for your first MS, get a second dog maybe a good choice, but not necessary same breed.
Its more about, can you handle both, physically, emotionally and of course financially.

Added on January 7, 2009, 2:57 pmuh born in 2009? LOL

can you show us a picture about the size different?

This post has been edited by iluv2zzz: Jan 7 2009, 02:57 PM

Not all dogs require same amount. Plus different brand of food have different nutrients... hence cannot compare like that. Just make sure your MS is not hungry, not too thin and not too heavy.

Added on January 7, 2009, 3:01 pmTry higher quality, at about similar price. Innova, California Natural, Canidae, Eagle Pack Holistic, Natural Balance, Evangers

Its ok, I been there done that... all first owner made mistake. As long as we all willing to learn, all can do well One year ago I am like all of the newbie here asking LOL and the "experts" answering. I guess it takes turn. The oldbies disappear... later when you all stable with your new puppy, will teach the new-new comers again

your MS is male rite? If he is not FAT then he is still ok. But when you choose wife, don't choose small. Your MS has big build, you have high chance to get BIG build (bone) baby, later the mommy having difficulties to giv birth. The mommy best is about the same size of the daddy.
