I know there are a couple of other threads on LAT but I didn't want to hijack them :) Lucky was completely obsessed with other dogs when I...
I also find leave it only works before Lucky starts eating something. If he has it in his mouth already and I'm too late with my leave it, he...
Interesting. I find it amazing that when we walk in the woods in the spring/summer and I can't see the path anymore because of the thick...
I think boxer cross, because of his colour, body shape, forehead and the tail!
Mine would pee on it... he's a nightmare for marking everything unusual. Then would go round because he won't walk through puddles or mud!! Maybe...
Similar story here, three dog beds, one in the kitchen, bedroom and living room. Usually the dog can be found on one of two sofas, the arm chair...
My boy did the same thing at that age. It was such a nightmare, once I had to wrap his lead round a lamp post to get away from the biting! I...
We did this too, because Lucky would lunge, whine, bark, and go totally crazy with frustration because he wanted to say hello to the other dog. I...
Mine also went through a bit of a phase like this, I think he didn't like it going over his head. For a while I put my arm through the neck of...
Happy Birthday Poppy! :)
I totally agree! Yesterday I recalled my dog from very excited play with another dog for the first time. He stopped playing immediately, looked...
I hope he's ok! Mine threw up half a wooden kebab skewer and the vet just said to keep an eye on him... in case the other half was still in there...
My experience with poodles is that the standard ones seem easy going, but the smaller ones are a bit neurotic. Maybe it's "small dog syndrome" not...
Is that common for labrador/poodle crosses or do they vary in how much grooming they need? I could probably cope with clipping every three months...
I agree, responsible breeding is more important than whether its pure bred/cross. I think it's John Bradshaw in "In Defense of Dogs" who says that...
I adopted mine at 7 months, but didn't have another dog already. Some dogs take a long time to settle in, mine took a couple of months until he...
I use a back fastening harness with my adult dog. He doesn't pull anymore but I much prefer a harness to a collar. With a puppy I think it's...
Your dog sounds a lot like mine!! Our trainer said that some dogs don't cope well with stress, and stress can be positive things or negative...
This is great! I love that feeling too, when you feel that connection with them :)
I agree with snowbunny. It's based entirely on the idea that everything a dog does that we don't like or is a bit rude is because they are trying...
