Yes, try a collar and lead - and be careful how you put it on, particularly if it has a plastic snap clip. It sounds like the harness is...
If you are always holding the line, then you are really using it as a lead. That might be necessary for you, but there isn't much chance of her...
@Stacia - I think you are lovely, and said that you are lovely and know you didn't mean it like that. :) All the people I met tonight showing...
Anyway, the ringcraft class was a bit strange, but very interesting! I have never been to a dog club thing before. I've only been to training...
Well, I can't be bothered to search out all the links on calcium/phosphorous ratios for large breed puppies to make this a science evidence based...
Well that's a pretty catty remark from someone who thinks that the Gundoggy world is full of lovely people. So what's Betsy then? A fat lumpy...
She came for a cuddle, and that seemed to help a little bit in that it calmed her down and she stopped barking while she was cuddling. But me...
Betsy doesn't like the urban foxes we have around. No big deal, I thought at first. Charlie didn't like them when he was a pup either. They were...
I don't want to apologise on behalf of a load of people who go to dog shows who I don't know - why would I? On the other hand, the fact of the...
No, there is nothing Charlie likes better than bashing a retrieve round his head. I have some 'training' birds - there are hard bits on each end,...

I'm sure not everyone involved with showing is catty. :) I should think it's about as catty as any competitive environment. :) Anyway, I'll find...
I am finding stop with Betsy a million times more challenging than with Charlie! There is a huge advantage to a ball obsessed dog like Charlie...
HeeHee - yes, Ringcraft is all about not jumping up on the judges and standing properly, and keeping still while people look in your mouth and...
Yes, I'm going to be very interested in the Ringcraft! It's a dog training club thing, which I've never managed to go to before - the training and...
Charlie gets conjunctivitis on and off - it's always in London, and I think it is related to the London Plane trees. He tends to get it in the...
Tonight, Betsy is going to a Ringcraft class with the breeder of Betsy and her chocolate brother, Binky! I am massively looking forwards to...
Really pleased that he is much improved!
Yes, I have to be careful with the monkeys - it might not be very fair on the other dog owners at this class, I think they are a big distraction! :D
Today, Betsy went to her pet dog class. She goes to an adolescent class, so all the other dogs are a bit older. We've managed to keep up so far,...
