    First couple pics of 4 of the 11 pups we rescued last night. They came from the Tallahassee area, mixes are unknown but it's likely to be some of lab, pit, black mouth cur, etc in there.
    The grey one looks like a Weimeraner.

    So Bentley, my 2 month old Golden Retriever pup is a bit of a biter (must get that from his mom), and I am not sure how to deal with it. He basically has 2 modes, sleeping and going crazy nipping at everyone. It's hard to pet him for more than a few seconds before he starts trying to nip at you.

    It obviously doesn't hurt too bad and all my internet reading says this will lessen as his puppy teeth fall out, and it's a totally normal puppy behavior. How do I handle it in the meantime? I have been trying to just have a toy nearby and replace my hand with the toy... I don't want to hold his mouth shut since that seems to be his natural instinct, or swat at his nose. Do I just keep doing the toy replacement thing and hope for the best?

    I have read several things about what I can do, but he's so young and doesn't even know his own name that any behavior I try to show him to stop, he is oblivious to... I know this seems like dog training 101 but just wanted to get some advice for this newbie..(me).

    nipping is normal and annoying as fuck. Especially when they have their needle puppy teeth.

    I filled up a spray bottle and started lighting him up w it. It got to the point where I could see that look in his eye where I could tell he was about to start nipping. I just and to reach for the bottle and he'd slink away.

    I did what Cesar Milan did to Cartman in that South Park episode where you make a "tsst" sound and give a quick pinch kind of like you're nipping back. Worked wonders.

    correct, if they don't get adopted in Florida, after a couple weeks/months (it varies for each case) they will go up to Maine.

    I could probably make it work if you could come get the pup, transport is the real issue.
    We've adopted outside the three states we operate in before, its just rare

    If he starts nipping, stop paying attention to him immediately. When he stops, start petting again. Or, redirect him. When he starts nipping, give him a toy to gnaw. A puppy that young won't respond well to negative reinforcement, so just do the replacement with a toy or ignore him.

    Big thing is going to be consistency, everyone who comes in contact with the pup needs to do the same thing, otherwise the dog won't learn.

    Control the interactions. Don't let them be together unsupervised. Seems tough to do, but if the cats are skittish the dogs will chase. Let them slowly get used to each other. If it comes down to it discipline the dogs when they do anything aggressive.

    One is a blue heeler mix and German short haired pointer mix most likely. Not much if cat exposure if any.

    You'll have to start by introducing the cats slowly. If either dog is aggressive then you might not be able to. I'd have the dogs on a leash and introduce the cats and see how they react. Keep them close so you can control them.

    My dogs have been around cats all their lives and really don't care. I have a Maine Coon that cares as little about them as they do about him. In your case it is going to depend on the cats too. If they have bad experiences it might honestly be a lost cause. My parents just got a kitten but since he didn't have any dog experience and the dogs are very mellow it wasn't an issue.

    i have a black lab mix and a pit mix both 5 years old. any past interaction has been try to chase and I would guess kill the cat. Cat has always escaped.

    Did some leashed interactions yesterday pit mix is just super curious can tell itll be easy with her. was able to take the leash off and put the e collar on her and just give her the tone anytime she was a little too close or fixated on the cat. Black lab on the other hand is like a loaded fucking gun. Every muscle in his body is tensed up and ready to fire when hes near the cat and hes extremely fixated. Usually in fixated situations we can re direct his attention with food but that shit had no effect last night. Im hoping itll just take time with him. If not we have a screened in porch and the cat can be indoor/outdoor or worst case scenario show the neighborhood kids how cute he is and see if their parents will let them have him

    I swear I adopted a dog but this thing looks more like a burrito. She finished Prednisone about a week and a half ago and we started cutting her food portions back from 1.5 cups 2x a day to just 1 cup 2x.

    Our girl was 39 lbs on adoption day. She topped out at 61 the other day. She's down to 59 today. Hoping to get her closer to 50 by the time we start exercising her in about 3 weeks. I got her an activity tracker to make sure we're scaling those active minutes appropriately.

    No idea if it's better than Wellness but my lab had a pretty sensitive stomach until we got him on Taste of the Wild puppy (bison/venison version). Solid poops since then and it helped with his coat, too.

    Taste of the Wild is solid.
    I've had mine on Fromm since the beginning and I swear by it, but Chewy is no longer selling it.
    Trying to decide if I will stick with it from another retailer or move to something else from Chewy. I love Chewy so will be hard to go away from them.

    To answer your question, what I did (as recommended by others on this site) was to go here https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/ and see what they recommend.
    I looked at 4 star foods and higher, found Fromm and stuck with it. I'm going to be reviewing other foods now to see if I want to switch.

    My wife and I went with Wellness CORE - Ocean. Opening the dog food container is like shoving my head neck-deep in a fetid, gamy snatch, but our lab's coat gets nothing but compliments.

    My two dogs are on the hunt tonight.

    Bullet (Husky) brought my fiance a rat he got in our backyard and freaked her out.

    My fiance also left our back door open a long time taking garbage out and let a ton of flies inside. Now Sophie (lab mix) is going around killing flies. It's impressive, she'll jump off the couch and bed and catch the flies midflight

    I can't let my fiance see those pictures, she has been bugging me to get a third dog forever and am sure she would want to adopt one of them.

    My two dogs have a pretty good dynamic and not sure I really want to make the jump from two to three.
