They do stop biting. Honestly! Betsy was really so bad that even though I'd been through it with Charlie (although not so bad) and have told puppy...
Ah, it'll be sad to see him go, Mags.
It's not always sensible to do this. With Charlie, the insurance has paid out so much, and because I had whole life cover, all existing conditions...
I really hate barking. I don't mean an occasional woof in play or whatever, but I hate barking around the house and garden. And I hate frustration...
My new puppy (well, not so new now, she's 6 months) definitely finds my older dog being around means anything she is a bit nervous about doesn't...
Yes, I do wonder whether it's 'a stage' at all or just the end of puppyhood. Certainly, some of the behaviours that emerged with Charlie as he...
It depends how much effort you want to put in and how much you care. You can have her walking to heel when off lead - she doesn't have to be...
It might be coincidence that his fear got worse after he was neutered, although there are some studies that show reactivity and fear is worse in...
What you buy when you buy a year's insurance is the removal of risk for that year - it's not a saving plan where you can expect any money back,...
I am not quite sure that Charlie was ever anything but an adolescent! :D:D:D I think he came that way. And I'm not sure he grew out of it either!
I'd say if you could cover a massive bill, even if a bit difficult, then it could be a logical decision not to have insurance and save the money....
You certainly don't need to accept it. I am determined Betsy is never eating poo because I absolutely could not bear it. She is never far enough...
Toys won't matter much either way - she might play with them for a little while when she is young, or the toys are new, but after a while she...
But have you ever trained your recall against the distraction of birds? If you haven't, then you can completely expect it to fail in the...
Really, I think big teeth coming through is the turning point. I do wonder if the puppies that bite the worst are the puppies that are teething...
Well, they are not going to be very steady Field Trial Dogs then, are they? :) Retrievers that tear round at 100mph, can't settle down, can't wait...
Oh, good one. And train them - so you can get them back in an emergency, and I'd also say don't use stupid stuff on them like prong collars, or...
Good girl! :)
I'm a real nag when it comes to the dogs - and I think my OH is a saint to put up with it. Sure, he doesn't get a lot of stuff 'right' and I'm...
Charlie does this - after his last wee walk. I honestly think he doesn't like the noise of the TV, and he definitely does not like the puppy!...
