My pup was itching in her first week with us, the vet thought it was a reaction to something in the garden. Not sure what it was but a couple of...
I recently posted about this and had some very helpful and supportive replies. Tansy (7mths) will run at me, leap and bite me hard, I was worried...
Thank you again for all the responses and the support, I especially like the comment about being a team with my dog! She is still a baby and...
I've posted similarly about my 'Tansy the terror' who sounds like your 'Rufus the rascal' except Tans is a bit older. I've had some great advice...
Fab, thanks all, feel much reassured now :) And I like the comment about A&E! And the 'here game' sounds really beneficial, we'll give that a go.
thanks all for taking the time to respond, and for pointing me towards the training logs, what a wonderful and interesting resource they are! I am...
Thank you so much SteffiS for your reply, she does look like a dangerous dog sometimes (but she's really a sensitive sweetie) and I get the idea...

Tansy is 29 weeks today and 17.5 kg (working type)

I feed Skinners too, it's good value (especially with Amazon delivery) and Tansy looks really glossy on it. I top it up with Forthglade wet food...
I use Perfect Fit because you can change elements of the harness as your pup grows. Online from...
