You're welcome
I need to start training but I'm a little low on funds to pay the trainer. He's asking for 30k monthly but things are really tight for me this period.
If I had the time it's something I would have watched videos and done by myself.
Yea, I'm actually done with indomie.
I know so many people do it but I don't believe it's healthy.
And all these foetus, restaurant waste etc I really don't have time for it.
Can I feed the dog on just dry food mixed with eggs,Titus fish, can food, ONLY? No unnecessary going to market looking for scraps and unnecessary combinations?
tbh the diet you're suggesting is better than the foetus and restaurant waste by far.
he actually needs to eat the can food and dry food now he's a little pup it's best for him.
the eggs and sardines are also a good addition to his diet leave the restaurant waste and foetus.
and I think it's better you train him on your own now he's young,it's a good way to bond with him, he's too young for a professional trainer right now, at this age he'll barely be able to pay attention or understand commands grin.
just watch some home training dog videos for now and train him on the basic commands yourself for now, you can hire a trainer when he's older.

I hope he gets big too. That's the reason I got him.
I spend time with home every night I come back.
I try to feed him by myself at least once daily.
Hopefully the family will join in.
I walk with him around the compound, make him run around too.
that's really good, make sure the family bonds with him now he's small, if they are scared of him now I wonder what they'll do eight months from nowgrin

Is there a special cod liver oil for dogs or can I give it this?
yes there's a special cod liver oil for dogs.
the one you're giving him is for humans.

if you can teach him basic commands like; sit,stand, stop, leave it, e.t.c. it's okay for his age.
when he's older he'll be able to listen and understand more.
he's still young, at his age play is mostly what's on their mind.
is he showing signs of aggression already?

Yes you can actually. Its better than the restaurant scraps which contain too much seasoning and oh onions and maybe garlic too. On foetus there's always the danger of infection. Though we are advocates of raw feeding plans we are wary of this particular one. Our raw feeding plans consist of chicken (backs, torso, head and feet), organs (secreting and non secreting) 2..3 times a week, tripe, deboned steamed fish, pork chops, whole raw eggs, right veggies and fruits prepared appropriately. This may be an interesting plan if you have the time and maybe resources to aggregate them. You're also good with you are advocating presently.

Hope this helps.

I agree.
I've started training him myself every opportunity I have.
Though it's tough this period, but ... with time he'll catch up

Indomie makes the poo really watery and hard to clean so I don't think it's good for the dog. Unfortunately I bought a whole bag of it for 8.5k

Anybody who will want the bag for a discounted price can come and pick it up. Location, Rumuigbo Port Harcourt

How much are you going to sell it

This is my problem.
Ranger is so scared of everything. It's confusing.
You take him unawares he runs away.
You 'fake' him, he runs away
My brother in law came to the house some weeks back and walked into the compound and straight to the door. No bark, no sound, nothing....
This is the reason I got his dog in the first place ooo


On a serious note though, I know he's still a puppy so... he'll sort himself out with time

Sure it helps, thanks..

The raw feeding, I'm still considering it, ...
My work not allowing me. No time, no steady light at home so I can buy in bulk and freeze, and no time to regularly go to market
Dry food still my best option, feed in the morning and go to work

I think he's due for socialisation, his breed is an aggressive breed naturally but he's still very young although some start early some also start later.
he just needs to be socialised to overcome his fears.
I'm guessing you've never taken him out or exposed him to loud noises or crowds.
if he continues like this the fear might turn to fear aggression which isn't a good thing.

but don't be worried the guard instincts will kick in at some point, mine started barking at strangers as early as 4 weeks, some start by even 8 months or a year.

Don't worry, he will bark on his own. My dog (not a Caucasian) began barking early, a month after I got him, but previously the GSD I had never barked until they were well over a year old.

Recommendation, chain him. He will cry like a baby, but it is for his own good and yours. Deprive him of seeing people so that the only people he knows are you and your family. Play with him from time to time. Reward him. Do not let strangers play with him. Play attacks with him, he will learn commands easier this way.

instead of chaining the poor dog he should cage him.....
Caucasian are aggressive and very protective he should also play with him

I'm a proponent of both caging and chaining for short periods of time to instill discipline in dogs
