Hmmmm...

I think better check with the vet to see what is wrong with the leg. I read up about this genetic disease that JRTs can suffer from, where the joint is defective and causes pain whenever the dog walks. Can't remember the name of the disease now, will look it up.

Unsure

Hope that Chester is ok.... Best to check it out with the vet. How old is Chester now?

hey there, Angelic

i was just wondering... your nick aragorn2976, does the 2976 stands for 2/9/1976? ekeke... make me curious.

Chester is fine, but still got pain i guess...by looking at the way he walks... he tried to walk with 3 legs today... hMmMm... fell inside the drain... Crazy

poor guy... i was wondering, if it's the bone problem, should i buy calsium tablet for him?? make his bone stronger... ?? Crazy

Chester is 4 months by the end of this month, on the 28th. I thought he might be born with the problem.. might be genetics, like the way you said...

I found out today that Chester is actually quite hot tempered... he barks at Lassie when she refused to play with him... make me laugh... Tongue

how's snoopy getting on with the "hand"? Wink

Hahaahah....

Heehe... Yea... It's part of my b'day... Tongue

Easier to remember... Kekeke...

Poor Chester... Unsure

How is he feeling? I think it is best to take him to see the vet and get things sorted out... Frown

Wow, at 4mths, he should be quite a big boy by now... Am sure that he can't fit on that small stool that you've placed him on for that pic... Tongue

Kekeke....

Snoopy sort of knows "hand" now.. Which is good. She still mouths but not so much now. We've got a new trick to teach her... "Don't jump on the chairs...!!!".. Kekee...

haha... my guess is correct!! Wink

he doesn't fit on the stool anymore. quite a big boy. Everyone who comes to my house say he's getting bigger and more "handsome" ahaha... especially, my aunt, she likes him alot. when he's small that time she likes to carry Chester ALOT! And Chester also like to be carried alot.. ahaha.. suka sama suka. cannot do anything... Laugh

when i took chester out for a walk just now on a leash outside my house, i see that he looks very fierce (aggresive) Mad

when ppl walk pass him... i thought he might want to attack that old lady....
shouldn't lab be gentle cretures?? Unsure

haha... snoopy lives inside the house?? he likes to jump on chairs?? ekeke.. he's such a lucky guy...

How's Chester's leg? Better?

Hehehe... My colleagues at work are fans of Snoopy. They constantly ask about her.. Tongue

Hmmm.. Time to teach Chester the "Leave it" command so that he doesn't pull on the leash to come close to someone.. Tongue

Yea.. Snoopy lives in the house. She likes to jump on chairs and beds but we don't allow her anymore. She is tons luckier than my previous dog... Tongue

Kekeke... BTW, Snoopy's a gal but her actions always make me think that she's a little guy at times... Hmmm... Maybe she's a tomboy...!!! Laugh

HmmMm.. he's leg are still like that... I think chester is beginning to change his teeth... he's teeth fall out yesterday, i kept it back for remembrance... ekekke... he's very naughty nowadays... alwiz go disturb lassie... got bitten few times... he never seems to learn his lesson...

chester seem to be the opposite of snoopy... he's more gentle.. not the rough kind of dog..

i alwiz said "no" when he looks aggresive... then, he'll just walk away...

Aii....

Hmmm... I think better check it out with the vet. See what his opinion is about the leg. Unsure

Kekeke... I didn't keep any of Snoopy's teeth because she swallowed most of them... Shocked

I wanted to keep one but everyone in my house felt disgusted and so, had to throw away... Unsure

Hahaa... You're right. Snoopy is like a gangster... Crazy

Don't know what to do with this dog sometimes... Laugh

what's wrong with you keeping your dogs teeth for remembrance??

by the way, u know those plastic containers that come with camera films.... clear see-thru one, not black coloured ones..... confession: when i was young i had a whole container filled with my baby teeth! Blush

my mum kept it for me as remembrance, but i was so pleased and proud of them that i used to show them off to our visitors.... much to my mum's embarrasment! hehe.... now dunno where izzit liao... i think she finally threw them away so i can't show it to ppl... Tongue

Kekkeke... Yea... Dogs do change their teeth!! Tongue

I didn't know it before because I've kept larger pups and not those 2mths and below before. Tongue

I think I've never seen a dog loose its teeth because it was all swallowed (sounds gross) by them.. Tongue

Hehehe... Training is easy once you know what motivates your dog. Does Chester like toys or food more? Tongue

Snoopy is food-motivated and she is willing to perform when she knows that there is a treat around. To teach a new trick, we use some treats, after that, we reinforce using praise & toys. It works... Laugh

But then, Snoopy is strong willed and so, most of the time, she doesn't want to listen to us... Sly

I never keep any of my tooth, mainly because i was superstitious, whenever my tooth fell out, i would alwiz throw them away... but it's cool if you can keep it... my granny use to tell me, when the tooth from the top jaw fall out, throw the tooth downwards.. and if it falls out from the bottom, throw it high up... forgotten what is the purpose for... throwing up and down... but i thought it was fun!!

Chester is mostly attracted to food... very "wai sik". Tongue

i have to find other ways to teach him, because he's alwiz looking at the food and not at me... Frown

maybe i could leash train him.. get him to pay more attention to me... really out of ideas... Frown

Re: [NeXiEm] ChEsTeR doens't wanna listen to me! [In reply to]	Can't Post

Ah....

Here's a tip. Hide the treat in your hand.. Make sure that he doesn't see it... Tongue

(Impossible-la since he can smell it already)... If you could, put the treat in a pocket or pouch so that he can't see it but he knows that it is there...

I read somewhere that even if the dog doesn't perform the trick right, you should not reprimand, but just reassure him that its ok. Give the treat when he gets it right!! Sly

Training tricks with a training leash would help too. Generally, labs are very attentive to the trainer, so, it should be no prob teaching Chester then... Tongue

Kekeke... Got to go now... Snoopy's saliva is all over my face after she attacked me... Crazy

Hi....

Snoopy is great. She's approaching 7 mths and I'm so excited...!! Kekeke...

Hahaa.. Snoopy is like that too, if she sees the food, her mind is zoned in on the food and nothing else... Hunting instinct kicks in!!!!

Hehhee.. Snoopy does that too esp when she is in a room or a door is in between us. However, unlike your Chester, Snoopy will bark for attention... Laugh

Kekeke.. Chester is so cute to use his hand to get your attention... Smile

Haahah... Chester is a little bit on the manja side-la... Tongue

chester baru 5 mths. he's very big in size... grows ups really fast... Crazy

i'm teaching him how to lie down and sleep on the side... he already knows how to crawl... but sometimes just bit too lazy to do it... very stubborn also...

Hi there..

Sorry that this is sooo late. Been really busy at work.

Anyway, my dog is also being pampered and spoilt by us all. Just last night, she jumped up o my parents bed and my mom was screaming. Laugh

I allow Snoopy to jump on my bed to sleep but after a while, I'll transfer her to her cage... Tongue

Talk about stubborn, Snoopy is stubborn!! However, we know what motivates her is food and so, it is a lot easier at times. Tongue

Fantastic!!!! Congrats on your achievement!! Tongue

The next step, teach him to "die"... Laugh

Kakaka... Snoopy is very food motivated and so, hard to teach her without treats sometimes. Anyway, she still cannot master "stay". Teaching "stay" is quite hard for a JRT since she likes to be on the move all the time. Crazy

Kekeke.. I look forward to Snoopy everyday after work as it destresses me and she is so happy when I come home. Kekeke... She is such a lovable rascal!! Sly

Ekeke....

There's few times he managed to stop halfway when he was rolling.... but then i asked him to stay, he just couldn't stay... Crazy

He's also more motivated by treat... food... if i don't use any food to motivated him, he'll.... stray...walk away.... Unsure

alwiz concentrate on my hand only.. i alwiz use hand signal combined with oral command... but i think he's more in to the hand signal...

i'm trying to teach him how to make him balance on his two hind legs while putting his both hands up...
do you have any idea how could i make him do that? i dun think he really understand me, when i'm teaching him this.. Frown

...

Kekekeke... Snoopy's version of "roll over" is like that too sometimes. If she is super excited, she'll do a full 180 degrees turn... Tongue

The trick is not to let him see the treat but hide it so that he knows it is there. He can smell the treat but with the combo of hand signals, you can train him without showing the treat first. If you show the treat, his concentration is on the treat, not on you, the trainer. Tongue

Kekeke.. It is like talking to a wall once he sees the treat!! Sly

I think you want Chester to "beg". This is very simple. You can let him see or smell the treat by placing it just above his nose. Pull the treat away from this nose (vertically) and he should slowlly try to reach out for it. Remember the command "beg"... Tongue

Kekeke... Snoopy caught this one really fast and she is so cute when she begs. However, she loves to jump and so, her hind legs are very strong, so, very natural for her to beg or stand on her hind feet.

My previous dog Oofy, took "begging" a step further. She could "walk" while I held her paws on two legs, forwards and backwards.. Sly

She was easier to train than Snoopy.... Kekke...

Have fun!

Hi NeXiem... Laugh

I have read through this thread... and realise that my lil Rockie who is a GR is exactly like Chester... He is now 4 months ols and is very stuborn... Mad

Only listen to my command when he feel like it... and when there is food to motivate him... Unsure

He has already learn sit, stay, down, come and hand but will only do it.. if there is treats for him and he feels like listening... Frown

Wow.. at first I thought I was the only one having such problem with a puppy... but never know that there are still people out there having the same trouble... Sly

Mind teaching me how to get Rockie to listen to me... like ur secrect formula to Chester obeying you... Blush
