Naw he's cute. I wish I'd taken photos when we visited at 5 weeks - they're so delicious when they're all roly poly like that.
Amazing! She needs to print out masses of them and turn them into birthday/bachelor/bachelorette cards :bone:
I didn't use the crate as a toilet training aid at all because Xena's bladder was just too iffy. Crate training (for me) was something separate....
Oh, and she's still in the crate over night.
Yeah, I had/have the same issue (Xena's 16 weeks). She was in the kitchen with a "day bed" during the day, and in the crate a few metres away in...
Will Edsel train as a cadaver dog too, or do they specialise as one or the other?
Yep, you do need something bright on a black dog, don't you! Glad to hear the humping is mostly a thing of the past. 16 weeks here and not a hump...
What a fantastic concept! I love how dog friendly the UK is.
If you have posted in a thread, your profile pic will appear in the corner of the OP's (original poster) photo. Is that what you mean?

Oh my, you're giving me choccy envy (don't tell Xena)!
Perfect, I knew you'd have a good reason for doing it this way. I've only introduced my release cue over the past week so swapping to your method...
Well, a new day = a new start. I took on board what @Joy said and have incorporated movement (move my arm treat release, move my leg treat release...
Velcro is an awful sound for humans, must be even worse for a dog. How does he react if you try to put on his old harness?
Yikes, I hope she's ok?
How do you event mark a stay? Pippa's method, and what I've read on the forum, doesn't mention a marker. What I understand is you get duration by...
I've definitely screwed this up a couple of times :oops: I keep to 3x5 minute formal training sessions a day atm, and that's not only training...
Very interesting discussion. No calculator available for NZ unfortunately. I've looked at Xena's pedigree and she's very international - UK,...
I don't have any advice re the early release, but just wanted to say that I also had/have issues with Pippa's method - the treat streaming made...
