This is so true. You have to remember that it is not 'just' a 30kg object casually thrown in your direction in the event of a crash. If you are...
Harv is a towel chewer too. Started as a puppy and never really grew out of it. He has one in his crate all the time - now and then a new hole...
When at training classes, the right to act is if you have never heard the cue being directed at you, ideally whilst running around trying to...
Hi Isobel, Welcome to the forum :-) Do you have any pictures of Stella?
We have a 42" crate too. Harv is from working lines and isn't a large dog by any means but we find this size gives him plenty of room to move...
