Babies are hard work and puppies are hard work. Babies tend to stay where you put them for a good few months, pups don't. Pups can be put in a...
I wonder if really good manners in this area can be completely trained or if because it's such an ingrained natural behaviour it is purely down to...
For what it's worth I think you gave the owner more than enough warnings and Lochan showed restraint to put up with it for as long as she did. I...
I think Kate's idea of a pen is a good one. My sister uses one for her cocker spaniel when she has to leave him. Failing that I'd limit the amount...
At least it wasn't a chicken !!!
Has your heart stopped pounding yet ? Mine was as I was reading it. I'm so glad Simba got back safe and sound. At least he got a good run.
I have two very nervous working line labradors. They bark and sound aggressive although their body language shows fear. They are four and have...
One of me labs is a whines. He used to whine a lot but isn't so bad now as I trained a quiet cue thanks to some advice from Rachael (Oberon). This...

How awful for you both. I agree with Julie. Get hold of collar pull up and back. The fact the dog was mounting Chepi not attacking should mean...
A bitches season usually lasts three weeks. During the second week the bitch will be interested in the dog and could go looking for one if given...
As Julie has said it sounds like resource guarding. The only other thing I wondered about is when you said if you touch him in certain places he...
I know something of what your going through. I have two intact male labradors. My friend who we walk with had two Rottweiler bitches....
Not quite such a brave soldier hiding behind a nurse. Glad his foot is healing well. Back to normal soon.
Hi I have two four year old labs who are very nervous. They are nervous of strangers especially if they look like they are going to touch them and...
Good luck tomorrow hope all is as it should be when the vet checks. Doesn't sound like the ordeal has phased charlie giving Hattie her early...
Thank you. . Now I really want to ask why is it a distraction but I suppose maybe the dog is wondering what on earth are you doing and considers...
Completely normal. . With my two it was 8pm. They do grow out of it.
