Betsy (amusingly - and slightly scarily given it is Charlie we are talking about) copies Charlie a lot. She will be in her crate in the TV room,...
A whole large mackerel each! Yay - happy days.....
Just about all of Betsy's very early training was done for kibble - I didn't introduce anything else until she was about 14 weeks, and then it was...
Fingers and paws crossed it heals up without any trouble.
Well....it is annoying when someone posts with a problem, and gets a reply 'oh, that wasn't a problem for me at all' - that's just not helpful!...

Charlie says I should put his name down for loudest whining and general fussing when stopping the car at the river walk carpark....
I do think that the comment about Charlie being a 'visual' dog might be a red herring though (people say all sorts of things without thinking,...
I tried using a scent stick on a dummy the other day - I just thought I'd try it, and see what difference it made. It did make a big difference,...
