"Look what I have in my mouth that I'm not supposed to have. You should chase me!"

I need some advice. I am going to pick up this shy-er puppy in another state. However, the day will be long. (Podunk town to podunk town, big airports in the middle. 3 flights total)

I have a sling, which I’m hoping will help, by keeping him close to me as I go quickly between the one flight, instead of banging him in a soft kennel. (and maybe more likely to keep him on my lap as he would still be contained. Praying for lenient flight attendants) His feeling as safe as possible with his personality, is paramount. Denver, I have a 2.5 hour layover.

Any tips or tricks with taking an eight week old puppy on a flight with three flights and two connections would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

May need to click the picture to see the full image it looks a little too blown up but here's Cooper hes 1

full sized got him when he was still a puppy. but ive been having alot of issues with him ive been to multiple vets and got multiple second opinions he had some anxiety medicine which didn't work tried doggy hemp as a otc option and benadryl for the calming effect that a 1st gen Antihistamine gives ( asked his vet if that would be okay he said yes in moderation and watch over him ) but didn't help tried to crate him/taking small steps of me leaving the room he'd just scratch the door cry/bark for hours also gets aggressive if someone else tries to handle him besides me If im not around. he doesn't bite but snaps/growls in a weird mean way i cant really do anything without him standing 2 feet away at all times hell even when I take a shower/bathroom he will sit at the door sniff under it and bark if someone acts like they want in the bathroom not sure if there's another issue at play but I honestly think hes acting like this due to protection of me. at night he won't sleep but sit and stare at my door but he doesn't want out when I open it he sits and side eyes me like where we going also wont use the Bathroom if im not outside wont eat unless im in the same room took me about 2 weeks of me forcefully shoving him off my bed for him to learn hes not allowed up. Love him to death but im honestly considering selling him or giving him up to someone that's more qualified for a dog like this not sure what else to do tried everything from crates/toys/dog aromas/treats/doggy day care/mid day walks/ignoring him/no affection for a few hours/ect ect cant hire a trainer due to theres none around and the closest center is about 4 hours away which would end up being an 8hr drive which i cannot do on a daily/weekly basis would do it for Saturdays but nobody like that is open. So sorry for the long message also sorry if this is too much but I really do appreciate you guys for taking your time and reading this much love to all of you ❤️

He is 12 weeks today and we lucked out on every front. He is doing so well. Such a friendly and sweet pup. We are in love.

Everyday at 9:30 pm, they will both start huffing at me with intention. It’s BEDTIME, let’s go!!!!

Ruby with pit vipers she looks so funny

I am having trouble with my 6m old female bernedoodle. She is not peeing outside. I have walked her for half an hour or sit outside walking around the yard for half an hour and she doesn’t pee outside.

I don’t know how to get her to pee outside. She is a smart dog and my only dog.

She will play fetch and even help me pick up sticks on the yard.

She is playful and sweet. A bit attached to me. She follows me everywhere. I just need her to pee outside.

after months of biweekly groomer visits, we finally got amazing feedback that he is doing so well at the groomers and with almost no reactivity to the sounds of clippers / scissors and such. so happy about his progress !!

Trying to keep this brief
As it stands:
Scheduled for neutering. Was considering getting gastropexy done at the same time. But they’re training on a new laparoscopic technique under another vet with experience on the day the neuter is scheduled.
It’s free for that since they’re training but I’d rather pay and have them do it the way they are comfortable with.

I have three days off following the procedure to be with him while he heals then we move 7hrs away in a couple weeks.

I was considering canceling the entire thing and finding a new vet quick and have it done in the month span I’ll have off at the new location. I’ll be nearby the vet who does it for at least few years and be able to have all procedures done with one anesthetic.

What’s everyone’s opinion? Has anyone had experience or horror stories about their Bernedoodle having a volvulus? Complications with tacking / neutering?

Thanks!!

I’m wondering if 9 months old to young to get my puppy neutered? Because he is getting aggressive with his humping humans! He doesn’t do this until at night! And because we redirect him he gets mad and starts barking and wanting to bite!

Wanted to get there early for a little setting up and make sure Holly was comfortable with her new environment before all the other dogs got there for small dog hours. I was so proud and her little big sister Willow showed her the ropes of her favorite place in the world Rocket City Dog Bar.

My <5year old bernedoodle (photo for pet tax of course) died of cancer, so I was asking on another post to see if many folks have had berners pass the 8 year mark. But I realized this is a wayyy cuter proposition, so share your old pups in the comments! 8+ years!

Always the funniest poses when they're playing
