 Content preview:  Your puppy at 11 months old Hi Helen, Building the level
    of companionship is critically important when your puppy is 11 months old
    this is the age that they will have their highest sense of fear of new people
    and things. This will vary between breeds as well as between individual dogs
    as some dog breeds such as Groodles, Labradoodles and especially Spoodles
    may never be afraid of new people. When you help your puppy overcome their
    fears, you will also help to build and solidify a lifelong bond with them
    and reinforce a stronger relationship between them and the entire family.

Your puppy at 11 months old

Hi Helen,

=E2=80=8BBuilding the level of companionship is critically important when y=
our puppy is 11 months old this is the age that they will have their highes=
t sense of fear of new people and things. This will vary between breeds as =
well as between individual dogs as some dog breeds such as Groodles, Labrad=
oodles and especially Spoodles may never be afraid of new people. When you =
help your puppy overcome their fears, you will also help to build and solid=
ify a lifelong bond with them and reinforce a stronger relationship between=
 them and the entire family.

If your puppy does come across strange people or objects that frighten them=
, don't ever force your puppy to advance toward what scares them but on the=
 same hand, do not encourage their fearful tendencies. Slowly introduce you=
r puppy to what is frightening them in a calm and even tempered manner so t=
hey can see that you are not afraid of it and they person or object does no=
t concern you at all. This will show your puppy that if the leader of the p=
ack is comfortable around the scary person or object then they should be al=
so. Reward your puppy with praise as they conquer their fear, petting them =
on the side of their body that is closest to you to offer them support but =
not the far side of their body that would infer that you have your arm arou=
nd them as to protect them.

Small breed puppies such as Toy Cavoodles should be almost or fully convert=
ed to adult food and medium breed dogs should be on their way to the transi=
tion to adult dry food at around 12 months of age. Just remember that the t=
ransition needs to be a gradual process to prevent upsetting your puppy's d=
igestive system.

A puppy of just about any breed at 11 months old will through exercise and =
play, push their bodies to their physical limit. They throw caution to the =
wind and are so excited when playing (with other dogs especially) that they=
 dive into any type of physical activity head first. Sometimes in their mad=
 excitement to burn their energy, 11 month old puppies do not always use go=
od judgement and can injure themselves. Most often these injuries will be m=
uscle and ligament sprains usually to their knees and ankles but they can a=
lso strain muscles in their backs, necks and groins. Broken bones are thank=
fully quite rare during play but can occur during a fall from even low heig=
hts. Make sure that your yard or home is secure as puppies that have the op=
portunity to escape and go exploring on their own often land themselves int=
o all sorts of mischief.

Depending on your situation, your puppy may need to use a doggy day care se=
rvice. This type of service is becoming more and more common in Australia a=
s many dog owners want to provide their dogs with another source of stimula=
tion or may need to leave their dogs with someone else for a period of time=
. Before sending your puppy to daycare, check that the doggy daycare center=
 is right for the both of you. Just like child minding, there are two main =
types of doggy daycare: in-home and commercial.

In-home doggy daycare facilities are run out of a private residence and as =
a result are often cheaper. There are usually less dogs than in a commercia=
l setup and usually provide more person-to-dog contact but the hours will b=
e dependant upon the availability of the carer.

A professional doggy daycare facilities typically have more dogs than an in=
-home facility but there is often full-time staff and other dogs there to k=
eep your puppy busy all day. The staff will usually be well trained to hand=
le any emergencies that may arise.

Whichever setup you choose to use, make sure that the facility requires pro=
of of up-to-date vaccinations, and that all dogs must be healthy when they =
arrive at daycare. Choosing a doggy daycare provider or boarding kennel com=
es down to what you and your puppy need as well as your gut feeling about t=
he facility and the operators themselves.

Here's what your 11 month old puppy will need to have done:

1. Heartworm treatment
 2. Frontline flea treatment

Here's what you will need to do:

* Apply the Frontline flea treatment to your puppy
 * Treat your puppy for heartworm

Stopping your puppy from digging

Why do dogs dig?

Digging is a natural behaviour for our dogs and the ancestors of our dogs a=
nd the domestic dogs that have become feral dogs in the wild. Dogs dig dens=
 to raise their puppies in as the den protects the young from extremes of h=
ot and cold and help to protect and hide the vulnerable pups from predators=
. Dogs will also dig small holes to bury precious items such as food and bo=
nes. These behaviours have helped dogs to survive and are firmly ingrained =
into our dogs. Some terrier breeders have taken advantage of this and bred =
to encourage the digging instinct. This is the case with the Jack Russell T=
errier that will often dig at the opening of a burrow of an animal that the=
y are hunting in an attempt to get to it.

Why does my pet dog dig?

Even though your pet dog no longer raises a litter, dogs still dig to keep =
cool in the hot wether as the hole provides them with a comfortable spot to=
 get out of the elements. Usually the hole is large enough for the dog to l=
ie in and located in the shade of a tree or outdoor structure such as a she=
d or garage.

Some dogs just love to dig for the pure entertainment value. They love to g=
et to a sandy or loose soil part of the yard which frustratingly, is usuall=
y the garden beds and lawn and dog little holes all over the place. Some do=
gs will never dig holes for years but then once they discover the joy of it=
, they can quickly make it a habit. They may also use these little holes to=
 go back to in order to bury the new prized possession such as the bone the=
y never got around to chewing completely or one of your belonging that they=
 have managed to steal while you weren't there or just weren't looking. Bur=
ying bones and left over food is a survival technique that allowed dogs to =
survive in the wild and can be deeply ingrained in the psyche of some dogs.=
 These dogs will often try to 'bury' other objects inside the house also by=
 placing items under the rug or couch.

Some other reasons for digging may include relieving the stress of separati=
on anxiety, boredom, to escape the yard and even to teething pain if they h=
ave nothing to chew on.

How do I stop my dog from digging?

The best course is to prevent the behaviour from developing in the first pl=
ace. The easiest cause of digging to cure is to make sure the dog has a com=
fortable place to rest, especially during hot and cold weather to prevent t=
he need for the dog to make their own spot. The next step is to try to figu=
re out why the dog is digging. If your dog is burying food and bones then y=
ou may want to watch your dog eat and remove any uneaten food and bones bef=
ore he gets the chance to bury it. Making the feeding times for your dog co=
nsistent will help to reduce the dog's need to bury and conserve food over =
time. Also if it is bones that your dog is burying, they try offering him c=
hew toys that don't smell like food to discourage the behaviour.

How do I stop my dog from digging in the same spot?

If you just don't want your dog digging in the same hole you can try to dis=
courage him by placing his own faeces in the hole that he keeps digging as =
most dogs will try to avoid their own excrement especially when digging. Yo=
u can also try other deterrents such as pepper in the hole to make digging =
more unpleasant or a quick spray with water or the hose when you catch them=
 in the act.

What if my dog loves to dig and I can't stop him?

For the dog who just loves digging so much that they will not be put off by=
 unpleasant experiences of a water spray etc, you can build a sand pit wher=
e the dog can be encouraged to dig and bury their bones and toys as well as=
 to entertain themselves. If you have the room in your yard for this, train=
ing the dog to use it is done in the same way as training your dog to go to=
ilet in a particular area. Provide positive reinforcement when they use the=
 right spot for digging in the sand pit. The sand will also be a naturally =
inviting place for a dog to dig. Many dog breeders with dogs who love to di=
g will provide an area for their dogs to express this natural behaviour in =
the form of a sandpit. Many of these dogs who love to dig will also invent =
little games of burying an object and then 'discovering' them some time lat=
er!

and hide the vulnerable pups from predators. Dogs will also dig small holes=
 to bury precious items such as food and bones. These behaviours have helpe=

a comfortable place to rest, especially during hot and cold weather to prev=

is to try to figure out why the dog is digging. If your dog is burying food=
 and bones then you may want to watch your dog eat and remove any uneaten f=
ood and bones before he gets the chance to bury it. Making the feeding time=
s for your dog consistent will help to reduce the dog's need to bury and co=
nserve food over time. Also if it is bones that your dog is burying, they t=
ry offering him chew toys that don't smell like food to discourage the beha=
