Betsy hates the vet's and it make me miserable to see her - so unlike Charlie who bounces in without a care. it's not associated with any...
Well....the thing is, if your dog is nuts about playing with other dogs, it could take a great deal of exposure and play for that nuttiness to...
The funny thing about retrieving is that because some dogs are easily 'hooked' we can often think (myself included when I got Betsy!) that if...
I think you might be mixing a couple of things up - which might be my fault, sorry, I think I pointed you towards Retrieving for all Occasions as...
What? I'm a future show line breeder - I haven't bred a litter yet, but I will in the future. Show breeders are no more likely to inbreed than...
I doubt petting does anything either way for a very scared dog - why would it? It's pretty useless as a reinforcement in happier times....(that's...
I wouldn't (and don't) give supplements without a reason to think there is any need. I have one dog with a high risk of arthritis and he does...
Huh. Trying to decide whether this article has anything in it, or is just some random rubbish on the the internet....favouring the second, to be...
If you don't feel that it's for you and Cassie, that's fine - of course. But....I have one dog (Charlie) that wouldn't notice if he ran through...
Only if it has a hole in the plastic lining. In which case, if you chuck it in the river etc. it gets full of water and is useless (or sinks) -...

I can't understand all these people who say dishwashers run every two days etc.....there are only 4 of us in this house (2 humans, 2 dogs) but the...
Yes, of course....their toys stink otherwise! :D Soft house toys go in the washing machine along with the dog towels (which are used once before...
I just can't get over people not washing dog bowls.....saying 'they lick them clean'. Really? Really? If you had a guest for dinner who picked up...
You know, there is something about embracing counter surfing! :D I kinda like the company! If I'm chopping up food, I have two Labradors tucked...
It does depend on the practicalities....but I do not find it is twice as much work. I tend to train in group classes where there is a less...
What? People don't wash dog bowls? What do you do with the dirty, dog slobbered bowl in between the not-washed uses? Er....yuk! Betsy and Charlie...
Took me about 6 months to find Betsy - but it was a very intense six months. :D I got lucky, I think - the breeder I would have chosen as my first...
Both of my dogs could counter surf for England and I'd put money on them winning any Olympic counter surfing competition. I just cannot be...
We are usually at some training day event at least 3 days a week (one weekday, and weekends), and on those days, my dogs just get walks in the...
