I recently bought a yellow lab puppy which will be 8 weeks on 6-3. I was wondering if it is too early to introduce him to walking on a leash around the block. I tried yesterday and kind of pulled him down the road a few feet and then he seemed to walk alittle bit. I just don't know if this is too early. I also wanted to find out when my puppy should be introduced to crate training. We have put him in his crate real late at night and he still has accidents, which is expected, but when will he be able to use his crate and not have accidents? Any input would be great especially people who also have a Lab.

We started to put a leash on our dogs, I have 3 shih tzus, at a few months of age just to get them used to it. We have taken them to Petsmart and Petco hundreds of times to socialize them. They love it. Everyong love to pet them and in turn they are extremely friendly. We also have take them to various dog functions around Houston and they love the interaction with other dogs. As soon as they see their leashes, they go balistic. They can't wait to get them on and go in the car. You have to be patient as a leash and collar is new and takes time getting used to it.

How do you ship a horse across the world? How much would it cost to ship a horse from California to England?

Just wondering. Is it like dangerous to ship horses?? Are they on an airplane or boat?
Answer
From the U.S., horses are usually flown from Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, Lexington, New York or sent via trailer to Canada and flown from there. They are loaded into an aluminum crate that is very similar to a straight load horse trailer or a semi-trailer. Each crate can hold three horses so shipping three at a time is the most economical method. A handler usually travels in the crate with them in the area in front that would be the manger in a walk-through two-horse trailer or the space between rows in a semi-trailer. Once they're loaded the crate is placed in the cargo area of a plane using a fork-lift. The previous poster is totally wrong about quarantine in the UK - even dogs no longer do 6 months under the PETS scheme. The horse usually does about a month's quarantine at an approved facility in the US prior to shipping, documents are then issued and the horse is transported to the UK. The horse has to have a passport to enter the UK which is a recent thing. Post transport quarantine in the UK is for up to a month at an approved facility. The total cost just for transportation, quarantine, paperwork etc is around $10,000 plus the cost of the horse.
