You could give a try, Helen - all you need is a clean toy, a jar and a small bag of catnip. Or cheese, some dogs search for cheese in which case...
Oh fab, that's great, @Cath ! I'd love it if a few of us have a go, it's a good game I think and we can make it more and more complex. I can't...
Well? Did you get started with the catnip? I paused while I watch the second DVD, I hope to do that this morning. :)
Hello, and a very warm welcome to the forum. No-one will troll you about wanting a silver Labrador here. :) All dogs are welcome, even if they...
Don't worry about the end size or weight of your dog, it will be what it will be, and regardless it is much, much better for your puppy to be slim...
I suppose that's what I want at this stage....we are way off (deliberately) meeting any large males, or having him on lead around large males. And...
I don't use advantix monthly, or advocate. I used to, but then had Charlie tested for parasites, inc internal parasites, and switched to 6/7...
Well, I suppose one of the reasons we get this stuff from a vet is because they do look carefully at what they prescribe. So, I guess with a new...
It was a busy meet and greet walk today, even though we were walking in the quietest part I know. He looked a bit nervous when 4 small dogs (a...
If you want to train 'off' to mean 'get off the sofa' (without physically manipulating the dog) then you train it like you train anything else....
I didn't think that the fact Advantix repels ticks (and fleas, mossies etc) was to do with it being topical, I thought it was to do with the...
Really pleased to hear he is doing so well.
Thanks for your post, @Naya, I have to say I've been really upset about it all, and I found reading about someone tackling it in a similar way...
I find it very easy to train around deer in deer parks - for a start, you know exactly where they are! That's a BIG advantage. You can get into...
Charlie carries his tail like that all the time. I was watching him today, and even if he is just waiting for my attention (to admire him...
That's Peanut, Charlie's BFF. She is lovely, really lovely. And has a great recall! She belongs to my dog walker, and spends her day on dog walks!...
I don't use treats for loose lead, but I always use treats for any kind of 'heel' including walking at my side without sniffing.
My vet also doesn't stock it, or prescribe it. He says only because he hasn't had time to look into it all properly. Charlie currently has a...
Charlie has a really high (particularly for a Labrador) way of carrying his tail. Do you see? When he is waiting for the male dog to trot up to...
I don't really want Charlie to play with other dogs, but I do wonder if (because I've been worried about him after he was limping earlier in the...
