I don’t have advice and I haven’t had an experience like this but I am very very sorry you have lost your dear companion. You gave her a wonderful...
Today he has left her lead on and I’ve been stood there with treats and praise :)
Yes I think he might need to do this for a bit until we are sure she’s going to sit and stay. Thank you everyone for your comments - it does help.
I don’t think I could - DH was very against my methods last year but he saw they were getting results and I managed to rock him off his...
No she doesn’t - DH does it with both dogs. Sky of course has been doing this for a long time and Red has just copied her up til now. I think the...
That would be disastrous - they love each other. I will have another go at saying his method is wrong - he won’t like it :rolleyes:.
Red is being spayed at the end of this month. Yes a couple of things have changed. Yesterday a cat caught her attention which is what made her...

Yes you will :).
Yes it will make a difference. I still got horribly tired and at times despondent but the walks and training gave us more focus and bit by bit it...
My neighbour/friend has got a Romanian rescue dog. Looking up Caucasian Shepherd, I now realise that’s what he is. My friend didn’t know what he...
Young puppies are really hard work and I remember my puppy biting me when I was sat on the floor. It was a very deep bite on my hand but I knew...
Daddy Hooman is cross with me. When we got home from our long walk, I sat ever so nice next to Sky whilst Daddy Hooman took his boots off.....BUT...
I have two friends who call Red naughty. Makes my blood boil. Both these friends are loud and it hypes Red up and makes her jump where she doesn’t...
Just catching up with this. Goodness poor Duggan and for you and your wife. Hope recovery goes well and you can get back to normal.
This happened to us when Sky was about 12-18 months old. She was never in a crate. One day after she had been left, we returned to find she had...
