It really does depend on the puppy as to what is best (and you, different people are prepared to do different things). I'm not prepared to get up...
It's not twue! Not twue! You are howwible and I HATEs you! Betsy
Mum called you 'a horrible child' 3 times today when you weren't listening. She doesn't love you like she loves me. :devil: Charlie
Pro-kolin is very good, I find....
You got one! You got one! I keep twying to catch the flying flappy things....I twy and I twy, weally hard! Mum isn't that all that excited about...
It is striking! I find myself shouting 'Brakes! Betsy! Brakes!' as she slams into me at a full gallop....apart from when I'm asking her for a hand...
:) I do like the look of that harness that Fiona points to, it looks very good indeed.
Hello, and welcome. It really is just better to measure the puppy when s/he arrives - they vary massively in size! What will fit one pup, won't...
I don't think I need something that speeds up her return - because it's not slow if I don't do anything - I need to find a different way to train...
Maybe it's all the 'arriving nicely' stuff. If she is allowed to do her jump at the end of her recall (that is, I don't ask her to target my hand)...
Nope. The ball return or a recall without a hand touch (when she'll jump up at me - it hurts!) are much faster.
The other thing that's going on with Betsy right now, and I'm finding interesting is the way a hand delivery appears to slow her return. If she...
Yes, I have to have Betsy on lead in a lot of places where I would not chose to train lead walking - actually, that's everywhere in my average...
Well....Betsy is a teenager now. So her lead walking has deteriorated badly as she finds the environment much more interesting and rewarding. I'm...
Yep, probably best. Charlie will lie in front of the wood burner, or with his back against the hottest part of the aga until I fear his fur will...
My dogs have absolutely no sense when it comes to things like that! I can't trust them to do what's best for themselves - no way. They would...
Oh, ok! I did wonder. You think Fish4Dogs is 'posh' or 'upmarket'? I see. It really isn't, you know...:D:D:D
Of course I would! If a puppy in a new home didn't want to come out from under the table, I'd sleep under the table - if that seemed to make the...
I suppose they are! :D
Oh no, don't. Don't forget, your dogs don't like squid. :)
