Well we just about survived school. Ripple was ok right until the end when he went into biting mode - I now have two vampire like punctures on...
Yes Ripple is 8 months and a bundle of energy, I think its his brain that's getting tired as most of our walks involve lots of 'stop' 'start' for...
I'm still trying to find the right balance between play and getting wound up or into mischief Karen, these adolescent days are a real pain,...
I am struggling with finding something for Ripple to do on the days I take him to training classes. His normal day consists of a walk in the...
As a dog owner and cyclist I thought I would offer my perspective on this. Round here lots of the pavements are also designated cycle paths, some...
I looked after a Dalmatian once that ate half a pound of my butter with spectacular results, 2 days later it broke into a cupboard and ate a...
Thank you FoxyLady, I'll give that a go - although I can foresee Ripple eating the post it :D :D
Welcome from me and Ripple - an 8 month chocolate lab. He was very bitey as a tiny puppy and is going through another bitey and very boisterous...
I taught Ripple touch very early on, I think I'll have a go at the silent recall as well. I'd also like to know how to progress to using touch to...
I got a copy for Christmas as well, haven't started it yet as I'm still wading through Decembers library books AND trying to finish a cardigan for...
Well done Charlie! And Hattie as well of course :D.

Interestingly this was recommended to me after Ripple had a bad case of diahorrea, but by that time he had recovered. I would really like to know...
OH is worried about Ripple as he is still around 22 kg, but I think we are on the right track. He is from show stock and his father was quite...
Boxing Day with Ripple was awful - he was hyper wound up, wouldn't be distracted enough to do any training, bit me, bit OH, ran riot with the...
I don't think I can offer much help but Ripple is now just 7 months and has started this again, he used to do it loads as a small puppy but now...
MaccieD That's fine it was just a thought as I don't really know what to do with it - of course if anyone else on the forum (in the UK) would be...
I know this doesn't answer any of your questions but I used Riaflex Canine Joint Plus for my last lab. I had just purchased an 800g refill pack...
