Thanks everyone! Ok, it sounds like it is a common problem and not that easy to solve! The reason why I need to use a harness is because we are...
Indie has a terrible fear of her harness. We have a big struggle to get it on her, and when it is on, she freezes completely (you can put her tail...
Gosh Indie and Charlie do sound similar in many ways! I'm lucky that Indie is actually quite a little girl at 25kg so she has not dragged me over...
Definitely agree with the loss of dignity! I feel like I am covered in drool and smell of sardines most of the time. Ah the cheese/sausage tree!...
It does make sense. I would love to learn how to teach indie controlled hunting in front of me (is it called quartering?) - that seems the perfect...
That is a good bit of advice and something that is taking me a little while to get my head around. I actually tried that out last night - only let...
Hehe oh it is so nice to hear other people's little mishaps - not in a mean way, just makes me realise that having occasional calamities is...
I'm glad to hear I am not the only one...and I think everyone knows a Jessie or a Pug-in-a-jumper :rolleyes: and I bet if Jessie ever met...
Thank you :) yeah I forget to look back and see how far we have come with Indie. She is 16 months now, and we adopted her at 9 months as a...
I have been walking Indie with a training line for a few weeks now. It is pretty miserable as our walks are in the dark, and I find it stressful...
Yes I do! But we bought it just after getting Indie, and I quickly realised my focus should be stopping her from jumping and snapping at us in the...
Thanks Allie. That's good that she turns towards you - Indie has strained at the end a few times, desperate to get to some bush or other, and...
Thanks Julie this is very helpful. Yes, at the start I was holding the training line because it was getting tangled so much, but I let it drag for...
Sorry got muddled as to which post I was replying to there! I guess lures that look similar to what he is looking for but don't smell similar can...
We started some sort of scentwork with Indie a few months ago. We followed a Fenzi trial lesson for 'nosework' I found on the internet - for that...
Thanks Julie. I think some of the times the lead gets tight, it is just she forgets where she is in relation to me - its not that she lunges for...
thanks Helen :) I was kind of thinking the 'ah-ah' as a sort of warning signal to give her a chance to correct herself before the lead got tight....
Hello! Me again - another newbie dog owner question, so I thought I would start a new thread. I have a question about using a training line. We...
Thanks! I hadnt come across this site, it's great. The closest one is about 40 mins drive so not for daily walks, but a weekly session there would...
Aw thanks Helen! Yeah, reading your posts made me feel so relieved that someone else had had similar problems and survived! I definitely get...
