HeeHee - I have no intention whatsoever in 'de-penning' Betsy when I go out! And Charlie is also staying in the kitchen! :D:D:D
Yes, of course - that's not what I meant. :) I was very glad to see you had taken your dog to the vet. :)
I was thinking about you today, @Lara - most of the people at Gundog class I went to had HPRs and spaniels. There is a lovely pointer that often...
Charlie goes in once a month at least - for his cartrophen injection - and we often pop in on our walks (the vet is just at the bottom of the hill...
Betsy is a complete pain in the bottom for chasing birds and animals. :( I am extremely unimpressed.
i do feel like putting a hard hat on when I say things like: Really? Really? The OP posted pictures of a dog really desperately in need of vet...
Yes, you are right to think UTI and you should get that checked out by a vet. :) You are also right though that he is still a complete baby, and...
I travel to the Gundog Trust trainer in Evesham too - from London. I also go to one in Surrey. I don't have a dog that hunts wildlife...
There is a Facebook group here, on people training the bucket game - more good videos, and also some material presented by Chirag Patel himself....

It was just standard extra strong cathedral cheddar - nothing fancy. I save the stilton for Charlie (not that it makes much difference to him...
Sigh. This isn't true. Why do trainers keep saying this? Don't tell me, the trainer said it was like Huskies pulling a sled. There are so many...
Couple of little vids of the Fat Bottomed Girl. :) Tweets, I mean treats, for hold in the kitchen (trying very hard to establish a hand delivery)...
HeeHee Bruce! :D I will try to capture Charlie's honk. It's worth entering into the Labrador honk competition! :D
What a sweetie!
Oh good for you - you have excellent instincts! A rope slip lead is nothing more than a rope choke chain. I don't know about you, but if I were...
Yes, there is a big difference. Lots of pet dogs in the UK are not neutered and many pet owners will agonise over the decision, lots of people...
There is a useful article here: http://www.thelabradorsite.com/should-i-have-my-labrador-neutered-the-latest-evidence/ I have a 6 month old...
Yes, I noticed that too. It might be that the brain switching off - through rest or play - is the thing. When we train for many sessions at...
These days, the bottle is on a table just by the sofa with the cheese. He gets on the sofa and I pick up the bottle. If he gets off the sofa I put...
