Hi @Deirdre Not sure I fully understand. Is your dog only aggressive when protecting his property? What behaviour is your dog actually...
No I've never used a backpack on a dog. I'd be worried about putting any additional weight on my dog. I'm impressed with your new laundry assistant.
Hi @Kimbolina Do you give your dog treats when she defecates in the garden?
Hi @flor Get your dog into the habit of checking in. Everytime she looks at you give praise. If she's reasonably close, toss her a treat. Or...
Hi @WillowA Please see my instructions on how to teach your dog leave it contained in the thread below. You need to be able to tell your rock...
Hi @ahlangle Have you tried teaching place or mat? Easier to get obedience before the distraction walks through the door than when she has got out...
I lived for three years in Virginia. Blue Ridge mountain. Freezing rain in winter and awful humidity in summer. No point in showering. But I never...
Hi @Mikew very little if at all. Bathing with shampoo strips the natural oils out of the dog's coat. Try brushing instead.

Ah so you are North American! How cold is it outside? I used to live in Central Michigan. I can understand your reluctance to venture outside.
Oh dear, @Megan Duvall, it's not so much being outside that the problem. It's that he is so mouthy. I'd teach leave it inside and then outside...
Oh you have done lot of work with her. I'm impressed. No wonder she is bored. She is smart.and the dog equivalent of Tony Hancock on a Sunday...
Hi @Sue H For reasons you have just explained very clearly, the dog must be on lead or long line until you have a reliable recall in any...
No I don't think there is anything wrong. Just bored I would think. I'm not suggesting you have to keep her entertained all day long. But it would...
Maybe do some training inside. Stays are easy to do inside the house. Heeling without a lead in close quarters is also good. Or you may try...
Hi @raf108 Not the first time raised as an issue. See for example,...
