Some young dogs just don't seem to be able to eat enough to gain weight without getting upset tummies. This probably isn't a bad thing, and lots...
Don't worry too much, I'm sure it'll be fine. The main point of socialising dogs to new things at this stage is to teach them that new things are...
I have a pen and crates. The pen is my pup's home, it's where she goes when I can't look after her (eg I'm working, busy etc) or when I go out. I...
Hello there, and a warm welcome When did you first notice this behaviour? Is this the first time she has been outside since you got her? You...
Seaside regattas are brilliant for socialisation and ongoing socialisation - between the fairy queens, bands, fireworks, red arrows, giant pasty...
Yes, fair enough if your dog does just a few minutes on lead and that's all. My dogs do far too long on lead to ask them to walk at heel - both...
Lovely girl! Charlie's definitely improved with age, although I'd still like them a bit tighter, I no longer think that often - only when he is...
Hee Hee - and a very good one it is too. But how does that translate into something Ripple understands? :D:D:D
Well, celebrate the good bits! :) I don't use treats for loose lead. I just stop if the lead gets tight. But Charlie is not allowed to cross in...
Yay! What a star, Coco!
Tricky...any wound is best left clean and dry...that's about all I can suggest, really. If you can have it clean and dry without bandaging it,...
Well I've never heard before that Australia or NZ have anything to do with Pavlova! Now I google it, I find out there is a raging argument about...
Definitely need a vet to look at that, I'd say.
I think the regime Mags describes for a (future) guidedog is too restrictive for a pet @Xena Dog Princess . It is actually easier to train 'you...
More people than not (where I am in the UK anyway) let their dogs run up to other dogs even dogs on lead. There isn't much point in expecting this...
Puppies aren't great at deciding when enough is enough, so I'd step in if things seem to be getting out of hand or you think the pups have been...
We're rooting for you, Coco!
Although now I come to think about it...I'm not at all sure why I think it's from Germany, I just do! Or did.....
Pavlova is German, surely!
It's because the difficult thing about training is not getting the behaviour, it's proofing the behaviour. Can you get the behaviour of your dog...
