He isn't heeling then, really. If a dog moves out to the end of a long lead he has way abandoned any kind of heel position before he is stopped...
You can use a clicker however you want, so long as it's effective. I did use a clicker with Charlie when he was beside himself with excitement -...
Well, it depends what you mean by 'loose lead'. I don't mean what other people seem to mean which is a very loose heel (e.g. at my side, head up)....
I don't cue my dogs to come back into position on a long lead. If they are on a loose lead, I never cue 'heel' (I use 'close') I just expect a...
Look kid, they give me loads of treats for not booting you down the garden, which is what you rightly deserve for being an annoying puppy. Don't...
Oh God. Oh God. Desensitising Charlie to that...it's only a matter of time....
Hands off my Charlie! Or..Or..I'll bite your ears! I will! Betsy!
Ooooh! I've got me paws right under the cuddle mat, here alright! [img]lunacuddle by julieandcharlie julieandcharlie, on Flickr And Charlie...
Well, maybe that's because of the way your dogs chew. Or maybe you'll find out that there is a tooth problem only when you have to book a dog in...
No, it might seem like that. :) What it becomes is a trained response. That means the dog has sort of internalised 'I get a treat if I do this' to...

I like Betsy digging. I think - particularly for a small pup - it's great natural exercise. She is a bit more of a digger than Charlie, but I...
I do think a short lead helps with that. Charlie doesn't lunge on his steadiness fob because there is no reinforcement for lunging. As the lead is...
Yay! Luna! Yay! We'll have SUCH fun! Betsy!
Well, obviously that's me. I am the most handsome boy in the universe, and the universe revolves around me. It sounds like you might have that...
If you really have an aggressive chewer, then nothing but Kongs. It is not good that your dog attacks very hard things - and you'd struggle to...
I trained this on flat collars and 'steadiness fobs'. Just short lengths of paracord I bought from the Gundog trainer we both have been to. I...
Luna! Luna! But, but...we are going to the place with the beaches too! I know because Mum has started to pack our beach bags! Are you coming...
Hmmm.....this is sounding a bit alarming. Luna, did your Mum say who you were staying with at all? I'm just saying, there isn't any room here. I...
I want your pheasant toy. Unless you give me your pheasant toy, I'll let the fox eat you. Charlie
