I have two Border Terrier Bitches aged 3 years old. They have for the past twelve months been fed once a day on bakers complete. Prior to that, I used tinned food but found that their poo's were getting quite 'sloppy'
My problem now is that one dog in particular will have lots of small poo's a day. It can be at least five times a day. I thought that Border Terriers should only poo once or twice a day. Should I be considering a change in food?
They have constant access to water which is changed at least twice a day.
They also used to have recurrant anal gland problems before I changed them from tinned food so I would prefer not to go back to tinned food.

We are in the UK so advice needed on UK brands - Thanks
We also don't feed any scraps, but they do get a small dog biscuit daily.

I have a Weimaraner with a rather 'delicate' stomach!
We tried several different types of food until we came accross Burgess Supadog Sensitive. It has no artificial crap in it and is gluten free.
Its not a bad price either, being cheaper than the Bakers you are currently feeding your dogs on.
Beware foods like Bakers and Pedigree Chum Complete - they are packed full of artificial colours, made to appeal to the owners who think it looks nice!
Supadog is sold in Pets at Home and your small local pet shops should be able to get hold of it for you even if they don't stock it.
By the way, our other dogs are all fed on the Supadog Sensitive even though they haven't got delicate stomachs and they are fine on it too - people comment on what lovely coats our dogs have so it must be good stuff!

Go here for the best dog training couse http://dog-training-course.checkhere.info
Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

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/aU8T0
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.

She may need worming regularly it may help there stomachs if they are on a regular worming programme.
I feed Eukanuba complete dry food it is expensive but really good also my dogs are on a strict worming and flea regime which also helps keep there guts settled.
Also about how many times your dog goes to the loo. My JRT does about 3 just on a walk whilst both my bullys only go about once it all depends on the dog.

Our dog was intolerant to wheat and prone to stomach upsets so I did a fair bit of research on this. Wheat is not a natural food for dogs to digest and most dog food contains it.
Burns is very good but my pet shop did not recommend it for animals that need to put on weight or that were prone to being underweight, so I fed James Well-Beloved. Both of these are very good foods for dogs with digestive problems and recommended by vets.
I also found Ardens Grange to be good but had trouble getting hold of it!!

The best I have found is James Wellbeloved - it has been wondeful for my Akita's skin and coat. They do several flavours - Turkey & Rice, Lamb & Rice, Duck & Rice and Ocean Fish & Rice - I haven't found a better one. It's slightly more expensive than some but it's worth it - and you don't need to feed as much as some of the other dry foods because its concentrated. Best of luck!

I'm not sure of your location. I'm going to guess the UK?
I believe James WellBeloved and Burns are the best kibble available in the UK. Solid Gold varieties as well as Canidae and Timerwolf Organics are excellent kibble also that may be available to order online. I have heard excellent reviews on Orijens kibble also. Good luck
