Aw, lovely Simba! Good to see spring has arrived for you!
Well, yes, with the addition of large amounts of Gin/Sparkling wine......thank god she's taken up alcohol again, that's all I can say! :D:D:D
I'm sorry, sorry, I have to say this.....I can imagine a time - some time away - when Fiona is wafting about her Spanish farm, probably wearing...
Ok, so sounds like you need to do more work on them settling whenever you need them to do so in their room. It's the same as crate training,...
Ah, you know, we all have our failures. :) But when you've worked really hard it can reduce you to tears! :) The kid was fine, no harm done,...
That's good. :) So when is the door jumping a problem then?
I don't really know what I'm trying to train for - because I just watched the first video, and all the example dogs in the video were being...
When I saw the title I honestly thought "we know, she's a right one, that one!" :D:D:D Happy birthday, beautiful, crazy, nutty choccie - know you...
Ok, no attention and try to keep her occupied and calm at being alone, or not alone but just in a room (if that's relevant) for the frustration....
Why is she jumping at the door then? For attention? Frustration? There are no exceptions to learning theory - she jumps at the door because she...

But anyway, yes, if a puppy is a jumper, a pen doesn't work (unless you are prepared to cope with one with a lid, but they are much trickier to...
Yes, indeed. I have a puppy pen arrangement where the panels can make sides or a roof. I bought it by accident, and it turned out to be fabulous....
I'm so very glad you are taking steps to slim her down, @Mulski - that is the very best thing you can do for your pup! :)
That's true, for sure. He just knows which end of the garden is the catnip! I suppose that's the trick in it all, though, to still get the dog to...
I wonder if I should just have him on lead while we do the 'each box in turn' thing.
It sounds like it, yes. There is a bit in the DVD that says if you want to progress onto harder stuff, you and your dog need to be in it together...
HeeHee - the garden was much nicer before I got a puppy! All the empty bits of soil you see used to be full of a lovely fern collection. Big,...
@JAYMZ, is the gundog trainer you go to a traditional trainer? I know you say that you have never hurt Monty, and I know how much you love him,...
We put out a few boxes and bags today, planning to search them. It didn't go to plan. On the first attempt, Charlie just took one look at the...
