But what could he possibly do with her at such a young age? Training would be 10-15 minutes in the morning and the same in the afternoon. Mentally...
No gundog could possibly be fully trained at 9 months of age. I know plenty of gundog trainers here in the UK who take dogs in for training but...
I'm with @kateincornwall and @Boogie on this one. My Alice also had a melting ulcer which needed a corneal graft to save the eye. Ever since then...
The spaniel I had here with SA was as skinny as a rake, had a nice shiny coat and didn't have any of the other symptoms of hypothyroidism,...
You mentioned that Max had been checked over by the vet. Did the vet have a look at his thyroid function? The dog with SA I fostered had...
@snowbunny is absolutely right. If you want to help your dog's separation anxiety to get better then you can't leave him alone. Please, read my...
