There is no quick fix to dogs pulling on lead apart from 'training, training and more training'. It is the only way to get a nice loose lead walk....
It is not uncommon for a dog, or a human, to be unsure when placed in a new environment or situation or with new people. What does your boy do, as...
If you train with a positive reward based method you have no need to tell off a dog. A dog doesn't have 'bad behaviour' it just has behaviour, and...
Not strictly true; "Habituation can be described as the process whereby an animal becomes accustomed to non-threatening environmental stimuli and...
I'm a little surprised that there is no suggested pre course reading around the main sunjects. I'm sure the course is good - Steve is very good,...
Forgot to ask if there is a pre-course reading list as I'd be interested to see what IMDT recommend. I'm debating booking the 1 day Canine Body...
My comments are much the same as @heidrun. I don't just dislike flexi leads but actively ban them with my clients. As they are under tension it...

Oh fantastic @Joy . I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. IMDT are good courses and I know several trainers who are IMDT accredited. Is Steve Mann...

I only feed kibble and have no problems producing solud poop. Sorry @Karen , and I really don't mean to be rude, but personal/anecdotal experience...
LAT @Len Smith stands for Look At That training and is a method used most frequently with reactive dogs to help them cope with...
There is no scientific evidence that raw is better than dry kibble for the production of solid poop.
Have a chat and check up with the vet to rule anything else out. A diet change could be indicated particularly as you say 'he has solid poops...
I don't know how reliable any comnents would be about breeders as people are either happy or not :) and 'testimonials' aren't really worth alot as...
I use roast chicken, hot dog sausage, parmesan cheese, roast beef and will cut up and use left over pork sausage or beefburgers. High value treats...
Many of what we call 'puppy farms' are operating legally and are licensed by local councils. One such 'business' has just been re-licensed by the...
As Jac says this sounds like anal glands and would not be related per se to a grain free diet. Best to have a chat with your vet :)
Sorry I don't do anecdotal, only evidence. I would be surprised if a body's digestive system loses all the enzymes it needs to deal with foods...
Our Christmas present won't arrive until mid summer, if all goes to plan :). Just hope she will like it :)
