Dentastix are complete rubbish too. If he is staring for food, give him his tea - maybe he'll eat it then!
She will get bored! :) Puppies are very bad at being bored.:rolleyes: Adult dogs are much better at being bored. :) So long as your puppy has...
I'd say clean their teeth. :) And make sure exercise is appropriate - warm up, and cool down. And don't do mad repetitive stuff like frisbees...
Fab. Hope he is home soon and no more rubber gloves!
Ah, it's such a worry! They do put us through it! I hope it's all ok.
HeeHee - my house was built in 1870 and is just a run of the mill suburban London house. The wall is much, much older.

As someone with two extremely active showline dogs, I find this perception that show line dogs are quiet, laid back, and relaxed completely...

If what you mean is that the pigment on the inner eye rims is dark, that is normal on a yellow dog. :) On Charlie, his inner eye rims are skin...
Yes, I have heard that some people use a show stance like a sort of trick to distract a dog - as though it's a default behaviour. Betsy's default...
The training isn't really anything complicated - but to be honest it is very necessary for an excitable young Labrador! There is no way Betsy can...
Fab! :D:D:D
Do you have the book 'control unleashed'? It's very good. In that book, the author does allow access to other dogs as a reward - she doesn't have...
Goodness! Is everyone going to say I'm nasty if I get involved in showing? Ok, this is my training thread, no more comments about show people...
