I really liked everything we did in the class except the trainer's obvious issue with the harness and the tying to a post thing, which in...
Just read this https://www.thelabradorsite.com/teach-a-dog-to-stay/ :(
I'm in West Sussex, and there seem to be hundreds of trainers out there but my choices are limited by my working hours; Holly is only with me two...
Yes, once tied to the fence she looked confused and I felt guilty.
I'm not actually looking to do gun dog work at all, I just wanted to work on basic obedience and these trainers were recommended. To be fair, I...
Started a new class today and the trainer really seemed very negative about my choice of using a harness. I said that as Holly rarely pulls when...

Hmmm, I might give it a go. Finding chewy things which aren't food / edible but which hold her interest has been a challenge. I reckon I just have...
I have no idea and I suspect that I wouldn't want to know (!) They are basically hyde, sinew and tail bone, and have obviously been through some...
The marrow bone was a hit, but marrow gave her the squits (and she didn't have much!!) Raw wings (duck wings) also had same effect. Maybe too much...
Yes, I guess beef tails /ox tails are the same.. and yes they are dried and processed.. so that's what I was wondering about; the processing and...
