Thanks @5labs for the advice. I hadn't realised phantom pregnancies were so common, but having read up on them, it makes sense that it happens....
Looking for a bit of advice from anyone who's had experience of seasons or phantom pregnancies. Luna is in her second season (we're about 9 days...
She'll paddle, but won't lie down or swim and actively avoids the scary hose pipe. Bless her.
Luna appears to be the only labrador in the world that is afraid of the hosepipe when it's on. It's bonkers. She even refuses food when she's in...
Ugh - I feel your pain. Our house is a terrible design which means the downstairs heats up like a greenhouse because the sun is shining in...
It may not be the right approach, but I just leave a little space between marking and delivering the treat. If it looks like she's about to leap...
Anyone else enjoying the hilarity of labradors chasing sky raisins (flies). We seem to have a tonne of them in the UK this summer and they're...
We had (still have a little) this problem, and here's what I did if it's any use. Initially while we were training behaviours, for anything...
That's so interesting - how funny!! Well done for diagnosing it. I'm on a mission now to try and resolve our problem. I was due to be taking...

We tried this when she was little and going through her chewing phase - she loved the taste and went back for more :) Thanks for the suggestion...
I'm so sorry, I must have misread your original post - I hope I didn't cause any upset. Rocket is a fantastic name though, and sounds as though...
Hi @Chocmum - what a gorgeous boy he is, and I'm sorry that you're having such a difficult time at the moment. It sounds really challenging for...
I have a really frustrating behaviour pattern that I don't seem to be able to resolve. Luna gnaws the underside of our kitchen table, or the...
I'm the same. I'm planning to spay her, but because she's so excitable, I've decided to wait until she's matured a little first and her moods are...
I've been pondering this a fair bit lately, and after listening to a podcast the other day about applying positive reinforcement philosophy to all...
HI @BacktoBlack - sorry I totally missed this comment. How are things going with Maggie? Luna is a little older than your guess - just coming up...
Thanks @Jo Laurens I'll give that a try as a next step for the boot.
Hi @ptsjjfamily don't be nervous, you'll be fine. Don't put such high expectations on her though - she will, in all likelihood, struggle to...
Sorry, I also meant to say that the Fenzi courses are great. I bought a GOLD level lesson a few months back, but I don't think I'll do that again...
