what quantity and how much are you willing to pay

miremoses:
insecticide is a NO NO to dogs,dogs tend to perceive things quicker than human,I would suggest u keep ur dog away from that,cos once ur dog perceives,she starts to vomit and would loss weight immediately(from experience). and if something is not done quickly, u might loss ur dog,so be careful on how u use it in an area where u dog is.


about your dog's appetite.
the best thing to do is to get ur dog exhausted, @make her run around,play fetch and when she's tired get her water to drink,after that she would want to rest/sleep..when she is done,that's the moment to feed her.
but if u don't have time for what I said above,give her the food and lock her up,if u find out she's not eatin,just leave the food with her,when hungers knacks her enough,she will come around.
that's my method.

thanks buddy

Lol... Trust me, I know how you feel. I mean, I pack and clean those of two pups every single day. Yours' just one.

Here's the good news, I recall u saying she's an adult. If that's true, potty training her shouldn't be a biggy. It will only require consistency and dedication.

My adult female samoyed doesn't poo or pee indoors. Amongst all my dogs, she's d only one I can leave home for hours and be confident that she wouldn't mess up.

You can start by monitoring her more closely. Whenever you just finish feeding her, take her outside to go pee and poo. Whenever she just wakes up from sleep, do the same. Whenever u want to play with her, do it outside.

Dogs, most often at times, pee and poo after eating, sleeping and when they get too excited. Now, whenever she pees and poos outside, immediately give her a treat or praise her by petting her very well. That makes her understands she's doing the right thing.

Regarding her furs everywhere, unfortunately u can't change that. Samoyeds shed a lot. However, u can reduce the shedding and that's by grooming her daily or at least, twice weekly.

Regarding her feeding, it's just so sad that Samoyeds are very picky and that can be very annoying. Most times, I literally have to lock the adult Samoyed in the cage with her food before she eats it. My rott and hybrid on the other hand, are heavy eaters. The diamond kibbles I bought barely 2 weeks back is almost finished. Thanks to those guys.

But then, hope u usually mix fish in her meals? If no, please do. Always mix her meals with fish or meat. More so, always give her vitamin tablet once a day.

Taking care of a dog ain't an easy task. It gets more tasky if the dog stays indoors with him. But then, dogs are adorable and they deserve to be cared for. Picture her as your baby. If you can take care of a dog, you should be able to treat a baby better when you eventually have a child of yours

Just like you, I sometimes wish I could just send my dogs home but then, I just can't imagine myself without a dog. And when I have a dog, I always want to give him/her a playing mate and the need for another dog arises.

Just go with the tips I pointed out above. With dedication, time and consistency, you would be happy you actually have a dog to yourself.

Extra tip: stay off any insecticide or any poisonous substance. Take them completely out of your zone. You certainly wouldn't want to harm your dog.

yes, but as a student I don't have much time to be taking her out when I have 8am class... or even if the evenings. I only take her on morning walks... yes she is a picky eater I mix everything I give her with meat or fish she starts picking out the meat to eat first... the food and everything, I think She'll be better off at home with a big compound to roam about in... my youngest brother would take good care of her and I can also go home to see her... she'll be fine. what kind of vitamins I had to spray raid tonight the kind of mosquitoes that bit me yesterday eh... I left her at the balcony where she won't perceive it, and that's where she'll sleep...

Hello, first I need to ask, is the puppy's dam still alive and healthy? If yes, it isn't advisable to adopt a puppy at 5 weeks old. The recommended time frame is 7 weeks upwards. 8 weeks is even more appropriate.

This is because the pup needs to be nurtured by the mum. The pup also needs to learn some behaviours and those can best be taught by the dam accompanied by the siblings.

More so, as Lavendra rightly stated, your primary concern should be packing poops and cleaning pees. If u think that would be too much work, then you probably shouldn't get the puppy yet.

To answer your first question, YES. Your dog can stay indoor. As a matter of fact, as a puppy, it's better she stays indoors so she wouldn't be exposed to too much temperature.

I currently have 4 dogs (1 adult samoyed, 1 puppy samoyed (2 months old), 1 hybrid (2 months old), one pure Rotts (4 months old). They all stay indoors with me. The adult samoyed doesn't pee or poo indoor cos I've taught her how not to.

The Rotts sometimes still pees indoor by accident but barely poos indoor (he is still undergoing house training). The two puppies can poo and pee in the house anywhere, anytime they like as if we both pay the bills. Mtcheeeew! Am still watching them in 3D sha.

I pack poops n clean pees up to 10 times daily courtesy of the two pups and trust me, the experience ain't pleasurable. Not one bit! So, if you ain't ready for that challenge, i'd suggest u relax for a while till the pup is a lil older.

To answer your second questn regarding feeding, as a pup who isn't even up to 4 months, her feeding should be solely dog food. That of cos, is if you want the best for your pup.

Lavendra, glad you've finally got your samoyed. Hope she's doing well and you are taking care of her the best way you can?

yes sorry I've been trying to reply you on that post but they keep saying insufficient permission I wonder what that means, yes I have gotten her, she is tiny I guess that's her normal size... I'll tell you, packing poo and pee isn't a funny thing at all, I've suffered, all the same I'm even thinking of sending her to my parents house in ph so that whenever I go back home I'll be seeing her, I don't know what else to do, and she keeps selecting food, and fur is all over my room, and again she gives me sleepless nights sometimes then I have to take her to the balcony she keeps crying me I dunno again... but for now I've been taking care of her...

I have just been watching it. I have been feeding it with a syringe but yesterday it snapped at it so I stopped... too risky.

I'm sorry I just hope you are being careful ooo.. like you said, rabies no get cure. 0ppppp00p

I'm so sorry, so what would you do with the pup? shoot him? aww he is just a baby... I'm sorry sha

I'll tell you my experience, I presently have a Samoyed I live in a self con, I'm a student in school, though she is a very calm dog, she doesn't tear things, doesn't scatter or chew or break things I meet my house the same way I left it. but what troubles me is that I have to keep packing poop and mopping pee everywhere that is what you should be prepared for, the poop and pee... that's what I'm passing through, so what I'm trying to say is that it's possible to keep the German Shepard indoor with you but be prepared your dog temperament might be different from mine he might be the type that scatters everything but I believe you can handle all that.

so is there still a chance to treat your dog?

mine...

it's a she, yes it would be different but I heard its very possible to still train a grown dog, we should chat on whatsapp dear, please add me thus is my whatsapp number 08182950134
