We are in a terrace house with a small courtyard and it isn't a problem. As long as Chewie gets 2-3 outings a day and some training/play with us...
You must vacuum more often than me. :D I also wanted to add, Chewie is nearly 10 months and has never been bathed, only hosed in fun and he has...
I've been putting off buying one of these because they are expensive, but I'm also sick of emptying the Dyson twice a week AND STILL finding hair...
Thank you! It is always nice to read your supportive and kind posts. Our pups could temperamentally be twins I think. And thanks for the baby...
We use a harness as Chewie will still pull when he sees other dogs or animals that he wants to chase. He started out using a cheap mesh harness...
I've decided that my training priorities for the next few months will be: - Working through Total Recall - Working on LAT. This will be a...
So sorry to hear that Andrea.
No, brush turkeys, which have infested my suburb and are really territorial! Also, good idea re:tidying. Maybe I can get him to help with the...
Thanks @Joy and @Michael A Brooks. We are working on LAT, and in some ways he has improved (especially when looking at turkeys!) but I think...
It's funny that you should say that, as things are feeling a bit hopeless recently! The dog reduced me to tears last night after destroying yet...

A certain TV celebrity "dog trainer" who shall remain unnamed!
I wonder if this is an Australian thing? Maybe because people often have backyards and dogs aren't welcome in many places out and about people...
So... it went surprisingly well. Chewie was expectedly boisterous but played well with the 8 year old dog. The older dog did his own thing. He...
Unfortunately we are in the Australian summer and today is going to be a scorcher. We are going to take some frozen kongs to keep him busy though....
Oh yes, I get so heated and emotional over dog training issues! It is difficult to keep the peace sometimes. Thanks, and I hope you and Isla...
Unfortunately they live about an hour away. If it was an option I would rather leave Chewie at home. They have a very large house, so we might...
So... It's Christmas tomorrow and I am a bit stressed. We are going over to my in laws place with Chewie. There will be 10 adults, 2 kids and 2...
Isn't it nice to meet people who know what you're going through? On our walk today we met two women who obviously know labs, both of whom said...
When we were looking at getting our dog we narrowed it down to labs and goldens. In the end the coat maintainence is what made us finally decide...
