It sounds like Shadow did really well!
:)
Of course. I don't have to wait for that day - it has already happened. That's not my point. My point is that I don't think "oh, Charlie was...
Yes, absolutely - I have endless patience and tolerance for people with poorly behaved dogs, but where the owners seem to be doing their very...
Sure, we all have our failures in training dogs, no dog is perfect. I certainly have my fair share of failures. But it's a point of view, it's...
But you don't say "oh, it's in Charlie's nature to chase birds the length of the county for hours coming back whenever he feels like". Although...
Bwahaha! I think it's wee smells like asparagus! Oh gosh, how awful if the asparagus smells like dog wee! It's not above the ground yet, so...
Er.....training? It's nature that your dog grabs at food, pushes through a door, is a general hooligan to get what it is rewarding. All of these...
Huh. The celebrations were short lived. :rolleyes: He got back from his walk, I was my little greenhouse (doing my pumpkin, cucumbers, courgette,...

I do wonder whether it was that - which would be completely understandable, but probably undesirable in the long term. Particularly since Bramble...
Other dogs running up to a dog too fast to be polite is an everyday, run of the mill thing - it certainly happens to me all the time. It's not...
I think I've mentioned the steps to my veg garden before.....Charlie will not go up them! Well, until today - Yay! He has no problem with steps...
I don't know...I know it's not popular to say but....I also dislike bad mannered dogs, but the world is full of them. I really would not be happy...
