My 15 month old girl gets tired super quick when she’s running around. She can walk for an hour to an hour and a half just fine, but today I let her off leash at a park and she ran full sprint for about maybe 15 minutes and immediately wanted to go home and was visibly exhausted.
We live on the equator so it’s really humid and warm here (it felt around 84F/29C degrees when she was running around earlier). I only take her out in the early mornings and around sundown to avoid heatstroke. She is in air conditioning otherwise. I’m guessing her low stamina is due to the climate?
I just had toby (2 months old puppy) I am having a hard time training him to potty outside any tips ??
Can rottis/dogs eat mangos? lol or let him chew off the mango around the core
We just rescued a cat 5 days ago and he' s become very comfortable with Buddy.
Poor Koe was neutered last Thursday at 16 months, I wouldn’t have done it until at least 2 years old at the minimum, but he had cryptochidism
.
8 months old 🥺
Hi everyone! I’m looking for options for deshedding brushes for my pup. As he’s shedding a lot of hair over the house. I give him baths myself but I noticed when I took him to a groomer his shedding was waaaay less and I’m sure it’s because of the brush (?) Do you guys have any recommendations? Thanks!

Does anyone have recommendations for puzzle toys that can stand up to a Rottie? I need enrichment options that she won’t just destroy.
Just wanted to share some hopes and dreams♥️
Just got a 7 week old Rottweiler pup his father is “Serbian Rottweiler” and the mother American, He’s going to be a semi inside dog like our previous one ( sleep and eat inside but free roam in the yard/ house during the day) . He’s doing fairly ok with meeting the cats and I just need some tips to train him to be passive but still to bark at strangers at the gate or unwanted visitors at night don’t want him to be aggressive like most dogs that are trained to be guard dogs, I’ve got the food routine down and the potty training is almost to a T just the peeing that’s difficult to time with him and the chewing is down to just his toys and one leg of a cupboard that he’s obsessed with, [edit] he will be neutered as soon as the vet says it’s safe to do so
