Hey all, I'm hoping to switch Arya to a new kibble soon. I'm hoping to move to something grain free and with higher quality ingredients. Her current food isn't causing any problems except she seems get yeast infections in her ears fairly frequently. The main reason I want to switch is that we...

Hey all, We currently use Frontline+ regularly since we do a fair bit of hiking with Arya and we can get a good deal on it from Costco. It's been effective so far. We very rarely find ticks and we never find them attached (we look very carefully right after hiking, but if we've missed any on...

Hey all, In email conversation with my breeder I told her Arya's weight. She was a bit concerned given the weight of her dogs (including those in Arya's litter), her experience, etc. I told her how much I was feeding Arya and she said it sounded appropriate and she said she'd take a look at...

Hey all, First, some background: 2.5 weeks ago, our 16 month Arya was playing in the snow for awhile (2 hours). The next morning, she had a noticeable limp when she woke up. As the day progressed, it eased and was barely noticeable. We didn't let her play and only took her in and out to go to...

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good groomers in the Boston area. We are living north of the city, but are willing to travel a bit for someone who knows what they are doing with a newf! Thanks, John

Hey all, We currently feed our 9 month old newf Purina Pro Plan Sport 20/30 (with a bit of yogurt and a bit of canned meat as well as vitamins). We use this food because it is what the breeder used and we chose that breeder partly because of the health of the dogs. Our pup is growing well, her...

Hey all, The other day I asked for some advice for my 5 month old pup. She barks at the door to go out pretty often and often just to play. I got the advice I expected. Go out with her but don't play. What should I do about the night time. There are some nights when she sleeps through the...

Hey all, Our pup Arya has just turned 5 months old and is doing very well on her housetraining. The only issue is that we've taught her to go to the door to bark when she wants to go out. She does that, but I don't think she understands that the barking is only to go out for the bathroom and...

Hey all, Quick question about keeping a dog occupied when working from home. I'm a professor and, very fortunately, get to work from home on the days I'm not teaching (about 3 days per week). When I'm home, I really need to get work done. We have a big run in the morning and she'll usually...

Hey all, I'm wondering if anyone had size and product recommendations for an ex pen. We don't need one for outdoors, but we'd like to start allowing Arya a little more space inside the house in a controlled environment. We plan to block off some of the living room that's nearest her crate. It...

Hey all, As I've mentioned in various other threads, we've got a 3.5 month old newf pup (she's awesome). Currently, we discourage her using stairs. We have a house that has one elevated level separated by 4 steps from the floor the pup hangs out on. She'll occasionally walk over to the bottom...

Hey all, We are new newf parents and I had a quick question about keeping our little girl cool at night. Arya is our 13 week newf pup. At night, we keep the temp of our house at around 66 degrees in winter. Arya probably likes it a little cooler (she's completely happy to lay on the frosted...

Hi all, My fiance and I just got our first puppy. A beautiful 13 week old newf named Arya. I could use some general advice about several issues just to make sure I'm not mucking things up too badly. Sorry if this is too much to comment on, and I hope it is in the right forum. 1. Crate Training...
