I can just see him for the first few times stopping and rolling and trying to get it off But I might give it aao, can you buy them or do I have to make one. Link to comment

He's going to be a right little chunker when he grows up! The backback's an interesting idea. I used to just carry a bottle for my dog Link to comment

You need to ensure his needs are met though....he needs rules and excersise thats for sure!! The back pack will help, there is an australian company that make them, the link is below.......give him a little weight to start with and as he gets older increase it, there may be other websites just check them out... I'm only telling you from my own personal experience but he will grow to be big and strong, I know other members have given thier thoughts/opinions ..... but I personally would NEVER back away if he jumps on you... or turn away, you need to walk towards him right in front of him, with a sound or word that he will know, whether it be NO or AAHH, or whatever so long as its the same word all the time. Good luck Splat, they are a very special breed, you are very lucky. http://www.ozpetshop.com.au/product_info.p...roducts_id/1754 Link to comment

He is a naughty boy. Greg is thinking of making him a kennel to put him in while we are not home because he is eyeing off the budgies and cockatiels. He just doesn't trust him. BUT other than that he has been really good. SL26 sorry you lost your Archie you can Jake I really wouldn't mind Link to comment

Jake is much better behaved these days. He loves his walks and he fetches his balls for us. I have just started teaching him to jump and catch the ball, he is a very quick learner and eager to please. He loves human company. Here are a few photos taken of him today and boy has he grown. Chasing his ball Returning with his ball Returning with is tennis ball Having a snooze under my chair Just cute Link to comment

It shows your perseverance has paid off with the training. As said before, puppies grow into wonderful dogs with training and not so wonderful dogs without. Not the dog's fault, the owners. It pays off being a good owner like yourself Link to comment

He has had his bad moments, Like for example Greg flowers. Over near the car shed Greg had a beautiful garden of yellow and red flowers and the just started to bloom, really beautiful but Jake thought it was better for a bed because everytime I went out to my birdroom he would jump on the flowers, Greg fenced it but he just jumped and squashed that too. You see my birdroom area is now closed off to the rest of the yard with a gate which I think is great Jake wants to be near me and the closest he can get is the flower bed He did get into trouble a few times but the poor old flowers got so squashed that they all died. Normally if you say NO JAKE he listens and stops and doesn't do it again but when he wants to be near mum he just doesn't care He is only a pup but he is a 100% better than what he was. Even his jumping is under control. Link to comment

He Knows that i am the boss NOT him. As for the gate into my birdroom area Greg did that to make it easier for me. Before the gate went on he would follow me out there and stop at a certain spot and never went any further. AND when it comes to the aviaries which are out in the open yard he doesn't even bother with them and if he does even look at them side ways I yell out NO JAKE and he just walks away. He doesn't even bother with the washing on the clothes line. He is really a good boy. Link to comment
