Jeanne Rose replied to Cherri Lynn Kading's discussion My dog smells like a fish!!! in the group 50 Somethings of Doodle Kisses"Interesting. Have you tried probiotics? I did this with my last dog and it seemed to help with all poop issues, the vet had me try it. Good luck and hope you can get some good answers here."
Cherri Lynn Kading replied to Brenda Showfety's discussion What's the best way to teach your doodle to ignore others while out for a walk? in the group Puppy Madness"I am really hoping someone gives you a miracle answer because I still struggle with this, too! The only thing that has worked for me so far is to hold a treat in my hand, then I make sure Jacki knows it is there and then she will pay attention to me…"
Cherri Lynn Kading commented on Andy&Sharon BoomerShaynaMariner's group Health and Medical Issues"It could be Nancy...it just smells different than what I would expect of a gassy smell. She's going to get groomed at the vet next week. I plan on checking on it again."

I have not had the smelly issue you described on the Health page with my Doods... but my last dog used to express his anal glands whenever he was startled or afraid.

Cherri Lynn Kading replied to Cherri Lynn Kading's discussion My dog smells like a fish!!! in the group 50 Somethings of Doodle Kisses"I think the vet felt that the adult food would give her firmer stools. I don't they knew what to tell me either! Thanks for your reply.

Lori, Daphne & Lucy replied to Cherri Lynn Kading's discussion My dog smells like a fish!!! in the group 50 Somethings of Doodle Kisses"My female Golden Retriever used to get that fishy smell every few months or so. Several people told me that females still go thru their "cycle" even though they are spayed and that is what causes that smell. Not sure if that is true or not…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Cherri Lynn Kading's discussion My dog smells like a fish!!! in the group 50 Somethings of Doodle Kisses"I don't know what the vet thinks a food change would do, then. The glands are usually expressed naturally when the dog has a BM, if the stool is firm enough to put pressure on them. Dogs who have gland problems usually either have chronic soft…"
Cherri Lynn Kading replied to Cherri Lynn Kading's discussion My dog smells like a fish!!! in the group 50 Somethings of Doodle Kisses"yes...I have not noticed anything unusual with that so that is why I can't understand why she is still expressing the glands in the house."
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Cherri Lynn Kading's discussion My dog smells like a fish!!! in the group 50 Somethings of Doodle Kisses"Is her poop usually firm?"

My dog smells like a fish!!!
Does anyone else have a problem with their dog expressing their anal glands other than when they have a bowel movement? Sometimes Jacki will just be sitting on "her" chair and she will start to wreak! She has been checked out by the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong. The vet suggested changing her food so I am in the process of changing her from puppy food to adult food. Any other suggestions?See More
Cherri Lynn Kading replied to Alex & Mattie's discussion How do you remove a stubborn dingleberry? in the group Puppy Madness"Well, that was a great idea! Much quicker to just snip it off :) I'm sure it won't be your last dingleberry!! (I love that word!!) Jacki had soft stool SO many times. Rice cereal and pumpkin was a staple in my pantry :)
She also had issues…"
Beth & Roux replied to Cherri Lynn Kading's discussion Smelly glands!! in the group Puppy Madness"Oh no! I can definitely see why that would be so much harder! :( I usually always notice Roux licking beforehand. Jacki is SO cute by the way!"

Hi Cherri... I have not had the smelly issue you described on the Health page with my Doods... but my last dog used to express his anal glands whenever he was startled or afraid. It was sort of like a skunk spraying - there was a spray. On their own my Doods FART alot! LOL... But I have also heard my groomer describe a fishy smell at the rear end as a need for expressing anal glands. I have not noticed it myself tho.

You can walk a dog this age--50 times day and it won't wear them out. We used a school--with no people around, bought a Chuck It toy and let him have at it. 20 mins later, we loaded him back into the car and came home.
P.S. wear the dog out some with exercise FIRST before you attempt to train otherwise it is just a joke :) They are so hyper and happy they just can't learn until they burn off some energy.

Personally, I think you are going to be okay :)
I see you joined the Training Group-Great.
Also, find a good trainer. It makes a world of difference. No, not a puppy class that teaches tricks. You want an obedience trainer. Key word-Obedience. Just 6-8 weeks of classes and I am positive you and the dog will be happier. Stick with us. We want to help
Walking--4-20 times a day. HA. Take the dog to a local school and run it for a good 20 mins. We played frisbee with ours or fetch. It ran and ran ( 20 mins ) and then we went home to peace.
