Can someone give me some advice, my pup has a dry nose and I am hearing all sorts about it. She seems really well, she is 10 weeks old, eating and drinking very well, running about well, sleeping well and toileting well. I keep hearing different things saying a dry nose is a sick dog, or she is okay, she is due to go to vet next week for her nails, should I ask?

It sounds like she's a happy healthy little mutt to me.
It's a myth that a warm dry nose = sick dog.
Sadly, it's a myth that millions of people still believe.
Look at the real signs your dog is giving you. Is she energetic? Is she eating? does she enjoy playing? does she smile when you fuss her? are her toilet motions normal?
If the weight of evidence says she's healthy, then it's pretty safe to assume that she is healthy.

A dry nose does not mean that your puppy is sick. Some dogs have a cold wet nose, some have a warm dry nose. Even the same dog can have changes and still be perfectly normal and healthy. Some things that you should always watch out for: Vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, not eating, not drinking, drinking more than usual, eating more than usual, not urinating, urinating more, discolored urine, lethargy, scratching... among some other, but those are the main signs. When you go see your vet, they should take a history and will tell you if she is ill.

I have a puppy too and she often has a dry nose but i do not believe this means they are unwell. My puppy still eats, drinks and plays (very lively). If your going to the vets with yours just ask them to be on the safe side. Or you could try this website below that gives a great deal of information on lots of different subjects to do with dogs.

There are numerous causes for a dry, crusty nose. This is definitely a problem that a veterinarian or veterinary dermatologist should address for you. Some potential causes include endocrine or hormonal disorders, disorders of the immune system, infectious agents, inflammatory diseases, underlying metabolic disorders, and cancer. Some dogs just get a dry nose as part of the aging process.
The history of the problem, physical exam findings, and diagnostic tests are all used in diagnosing and treating the problem. As far as diagnostics, a blood chemistry panel and urinalysis are excellent screening tests to narrow the range of possible problems. Conducting more specific blood tests can eliminate most of the remaining diagnostic possibilities. Additionally, a skin scraping, impression smear, and skin biopsy are procedures that may be needed to make definitive diagnosis.
Your veterinarian may be able to do all of these procedures or may wish to refer you to a veterinarian who specializes in dermatologic disorders.
Anyway, a visit to the vet can`t be that bad, can it?
Better safe than sorry :-)

a dry nose usually means fever, but if you're saying he is eating and drinking like always it probably isn't that serious. however, you should ask the vet about it, only he can tell for sure. when my cat had a dry nose she had very high fever, but she also didn't eat or play or anything... so she was obviously sick. it turned out to be tonsillitis, so you'd better check with the doctor to see what's causing the dry nose of your puppy, you might have a surprise...

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU0hl
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/xqQvb
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.
