    I saw an adult female blue standard poodle on a walk just the other day.... and we are getting our blue spoo girl puppy on Saturday!

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    Ooh! I will take a look at those too. I guess unfortunately there won't be many puppy classes available during the pandemic, and I wouldn't feel comfortable going to one even if there were. I have found some good dog trainers on Youtube though, and I feel like if we are careful and consistent...

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    Could a partially-vaccinated puppy interact with an adult dog that is vaccinated but possibly immunocompromised? We want our puppy to meet our relatives' dog Jax at some point, but he (Jax) is on a couple of medicines including Prednisone. Would it be safer to wait until the puppy is fully...

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    x2 Plain cooked meats like boiled chicken and turkey are safe, healthy high-value treats. They are surprisingly easy to prepare too, and can be portioned into daily "rations" and frozen.

    Okay, that makes sense.

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    I thought most puppies were cleared at 16 weeks?

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    Okay! That was the original plan. I was mainly curious because black_cat's puppy Finn seems to be meeting and interacting with other dogs, and he is under 12 weeks old, right?

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    Can anyone tell me about puppy vaccinations vs. the need for socialization with other dogs? I know many people who worry about their unvaccinated/partially vaccinated puppy getting parvo or another disease don't let them directly interact with other dogs or go on walks where the puppy could come...

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    That makes sense. For those in our family who are allergic, it is like an asthmatic response that becomes more apparent over time and doesn't always set in right away.

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    Yes, they're such smart dogs! How do you think their coats compare to that of a schnauzer? I hear some people with allergies are okay with those.

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    Jax is a six-year-old mixed breed (part (?) terrier, probably part poodle and perhaps chihuahua). He is a great, "easy" dog around the house, but was never worked with consistently so he pulls on leash and cannot be trusted to perform any command without a treat right in front of him. Very smart...

    Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

    Very impressive! :clap I tested my training skills on my relatives' dog Jax today, and...it appears that I need some practice. His focus was on the hand with the treats 100% of the time, and he was definitely getting overexcited and impatient. At least now I know what I need to work on: calm...
