It’s correct that the click ends the behaviour. It’s ok if the dog gets up after the click but before the treat (eg if you’ve clicked for a sit,...
Same where I live. Daycare places won’t take an entire dog over 6 months of age. In fact, it’s a also legislated requirement to desex your...
Our walks are punctuated with: “What are you eating?” “What is that?????” “Disgusting” “Oh don’t eat that!! Don’t eat tha....*sigh*” “Is that cat...
And a golden rule is that whenever you mark or click you must follow it up with a treat. A marker or click is a promise that a treat is coming. If...

Pork ribs aren’t any more brittle than beef ribs. Pork ribs are totally fine to feed. I’d choose pork ribs over beef ribs actually as they’re not...
Welcome to the forum :) There are definitely training methods you an use to help with this. Have a read of this article:...
Yeah, thinking along the same lines... It can be tricky though, families and Christmas...
Basset Hounds have a type of congenital dwarfism that results in short, curved legs. Very similar looking to Cliona’s boy. If it’s the same thing...
If you can feel his spine more I’d say that points to muscle loss. A dog shouldn’t be losing muscle along his back just as a function of age....
