Q. Or would the new puppy benefit from seeing our older dog doing tricks? We have a 3.5 year old lab right now and are planning to adopt a lab mix puppy. Should I seperate them during trainings or keep them together? Thanks for any tips!
Yes, this will be my first time having two dogs at once, so ANY other helpful advice is welcomed! :)

A. I would do one on one training with the puppy every day, and then do some training with both of them at the same time where the older one will guide the puppy. Also make sure you do one on one with your older one to make sure she is still feeling like the puppy isn't getting all the attention.
At what age do puppy teeth start falling out?
Q. My puppy is 12 weeks old. When will his teeth start falling out and can I still feed him dry food when they do?
A. somewhere in between the age of 4 to 6 months..
yeah, i still fed him dry food when they did fall out, if u want u can mix it with some rice which is softer..
but the teeth dont all fall out at the same time ! it starts at the front teeth, then the sharp pointy teeth, and the back ones can fall out any time. my puppy's back teeth fell out after the front ones..
it can be painful to them, so u can give them some dental chews, or soft chew toys, and it would be a great thing to give them some ice when this happens!
especiallu since ice makes u go a lil numb

How many weeks does my puppy have to be in order to start eating puppy food?
Q. My dog had only one puppy and my puppy is close to being 3 weeks old and it doesnt look like its developed to eat. At how many weeks can I introduce puppy food and water?
A. Most breeders start introducing a food MUSH at about 3 to 4 weeks but the puppy can nurse as long as the mother will let it. Usually by the 5th week, the puppy teeth hurt enough she's not very interested so you need to be working the puppy up to eating some semi-solid kibble type food, from 3 weeks on. Puppies should have a pan of water at all times - by now.
How long should you keep a puppy on puppy food?
Q. My puppies seem to be losing interest in their Eukanuba puppy food but will go crazy to try and get my grown dogs adult Eukanuba. How old should they be?
A. Puppy food is totally uneccessary, although a good marketing ploy for pet food manufacturers. It is to 'hot' for many puppies and can lead to structural problems. I have used it for the first month or so after weaning, under careful watch of the puppies development. It really isn't neccessary, I just really liked that particular food.
I even had an upper level employee of a pet food manufacturer admit this to me.
