Jabs :)

Maxis getting her last jab today so when would I be able to take her out the vet said 2 weeks if i remember rightly but shes getting really heavy and I sometimes have to carry her around for up to 30 mins and she gets wriggly and heavy Also how would I start getting her used to her lead? We went to watch a puppy training session that Maxi will be joining up to in Sept it was really good Anyway off to the vets

Violet got her last jabs recently too, and our vet said just over a week, but I guess that would all depend on what vaccinations your puppy is getting - I remember hearing that there are different brands of vaccines.

Hmmm I thought it was only a week after second injection but if your vet says 2 then they know better than me.

Shes put on 1 kg :O she was great with the jab didn't cry at all that she came home and has really hot so I tried to play with her using the hose but she didnt like it much and is now sitting on my lap looking at me like Ahhhh

Aw, sweet!

I'd get her used to the lead as soon as poss, just let her drag it around & when she's used to that, pick it up & follow wherever she wants to go. Then, when she's used to that, you can give her a gentle tug with lots of praise to get her to change direction.

Thank you

Don't forget to take some pics when you take her out!

wow Maxi is a big girlie now ..all ready to start exploring the big wide world...

yes please don't forget the camera !!!

I won't I have some pictures on it ready for when I finally get it back (my uncle borrowed it and I forgot I hadn't put the photos on -.- ) But yeah we do have pictures coming

With harv we had to wait 2 weeks after his last jab to take him out

Awww time has flew! lol .. my vet says up to 7days before they can go out
what i did to get my two used to the lead was walk them around the house and backgarden with it on so that when it comes to walk day its not too much of a shock to have something hanging of her neck lol.

same here, woody was in the garden with his on whilst we waited to go out- made it a whole let easier.

here he was over a year ago now waiting to go out - gosh he was so tiny then!

Awwww :O so cute

just practice putting it on and taking it off mate and then walk him round the house on it. woody hated it at first and kept trying to get it off but soon got used to it

I used a really light lead at first with jett (it was actually the cats lead lol) and just walked him round the garden for a week until he got used to it. when it came to the time he was allowed out he was walking perfectly on the lead.
about 2-3 weeks later i got him used to a light chain lead which he still uses now. (due a new one because he's nibbled through the handle)
Hope everything with maxi is ok

how adorable was little woody!! .. now his a handsome young man!

you forget they were ever that small!

Let him just drag it aroound the house and every so often pick it up and follow him. After awile if he's used to it a gentle tug to change directions. Don't expect to get to far on the first walk he will get really distracted with everything. Bring along some treats or a squeaky toy to get his attention and enjoy.
