After our ED surgery we had no off lead walking for around 4 to 4.5 months and had spent weeks gradually building up walking distances on lead. We...
So good to hear that Cassie had such fun at training :)
The advice given does vary between vets and from where abouts you are in the world. In general terms early neutering is discouraged unless there...
Totally agree with @Boogie - puppies have to be taught to be comfortable and confident being left alone. The training starts by leaving for...
@ziggy I'm not the owner of a reactive dog, nor do I have young children but I frequently work with both so I am fully in favour or protecting...
I use salmon oil not for coat condition but for the benefits for joints but Jen does have a lovely coat. I rarely brush nowadays, usually just...
My girl, at 10 weeks, always had free access to the lounge/dining room/kitchen when I was there without the need to be tethered to me or to a...
Which is a standard advisory statement to try and stop people sueing them. Having said that similar advisorys are also printed on the spot on...

Hi there @jenny200 . In the UK the Kennel Club only require an eye test and a hip score. Elbow score is mentioned but not essential. I'm also...
Approaching to take a treat is too far advanced. Start from a point with the children quietly tossing a few treats towards the pup. No calling,...
If this is how your trainer treats a dog that is over threshold you really need another trainer. If your dog is going over threshold remove them...
I tend to go to Fitzpatrick Referrals for info on Hip and Elbow dysplasia (amongst other problems) and their info says pretty much the same...
Interesting findings, but a very small number (138 dogs out of 4000 tested) affected. There is also no mention of a control group of dogs i.e....
