Ok. The crate isn't really part of the recall exercise - it's a bit beside the point, really. Just get someone to hold his collar. :)
This isn't a stay, it's only specific to the crate (at the moment). It's easy to do, and takes no time at all. It's just a release cue to leave...
Some dogs just don't need anywhere near the amount of food on the packet. My extremely energetic, fit, entire male gets 50g for breakfast and 50g...

No, they don't - I might have to buy some varnish! :D
Hello there, and a very warm welcome. It is difficult finding the right breeder (at least, I found it difficult!). You have identified all the...
Wow - that's amazing. A warm welcome from me and Charlie (3.5 year old chocolate lab and the love of my life), and 14 week old Betsy (aka Bitey...
Charlie is normally on SC21 - a vet prescription Royal Canin food - a single protein source, and a single carbohydrate source (duck and tapioca)....
Puppies love routine. It really helps them knowing when to expect things. So, you could write yourself a routine for the puppy that involves a...
Pictures of poo? We're not telling you! :D:D:D (Seriously, look in the techical help section, loads of instructions there).
