Hello, Aly, and a warm welcome. I read a book about chasing behaviour, it's called Stop! by David Ryan. It was very good. It's here:...
There is never a dirty human ear in this house, Charlie sees to that.
Oh dear, poor boy. Does sound like he's got something in it, alright. :(
I think if your dog already has a history of ear problems, it's different. I think cleaning Charlie's ears definitely helps. Through trial and...
You need to both have your dog around other dogs, and not allow her to be rewarded for behaviour you don't want. :) This means you have to be in...
Hello there, welcome to the forum. Dogs change so very, very much in their first year or so, they are often very different once they get to 7 or...
I've had a journey with Charlie - he started off being the world's worst Labrador for running up (but never rough play, and he would always leave...
Crossed paws it was well on the way to healing up anyway, and not too much harm done!
Charlie is terrible at this - his behaviour is strongly linked to places, not cues from me. In my training field in Cornwall, he is a dream dog....
I'm sort of parking it until my lesson! Which I've waited ages for....I'm just polishing up the basics so we don't have to spend too long on...
This isn't true - moral compass development by Donald Trump, the point of Katie Hopkins by Katie Hopkins.... However, Control Unleashed is a very...
Very interesting, Kate, Fiona and Mags - @snowbunny, @Beanwood, @Boogie Charlie is different walking with other dogs he knows well, he is more...
The vet and dermatologist told me not to clean my dog's ears unless he has problems. He is prone to ear troubles. I clean them if he starts...
I've rarely seen a dog pace - or, I've not been looking closely enough. I thought it was undesirable in terms of a dog adopting it because a human...
Charlie most definitely has a rear end swagger. He would also bunny hop a bit as a puppy. His hips are near perfect. Limps, stiffness, anything...
I've started using hedges, yes. Well, ever since he got sensible enough to actually have a hedge stop him. :D He has been known not to stop at a...
A dog's ear is an "L" shape though, and while you can wipe the outer ear flap, you shouldn't try to insert anything into a dog's ear (that is best...
I have no idea why parents do this. Kids are forever running up to Charlie in Wimbledon Park. The risk with Charlie of course is he'll get over...
No, I don't think there is a problem with throwing marks at all - I don't do it just because unless I'm working on steadiness (and have a plan!)...
Much better to be a slim Labrador than too heavy! I can see the ends of my dog's ribs when he is stood still, and can easily see his ribs if he...
