I quite like watching heelwork to music, and I do admire the training that's gone into it. I worry a bit about how good it is for the dog though....
It's not normal for a puppy to pee while it's asleep, I'd say that's something for the vet to look at for sure if it's happened a few times. On...
Very important to make sure the slippers are dead. Can you imagine any self respecting Labrador delivering a slipper that is still alive? Horrors.....
Oh dear...Charlie picks up EVERYTHING (delivered to hand for a treat), nicks every shoe and slipper going (it's a great game, we flick our...
I hope that's a proper otter tail you've knitted there! :D Gosh, so talented. Wouldn't know where to start (well, I do, and I did - Lucy is...
Good to hear the pup is playful and alert. :) It's a big change for them, probably the first time he hasn't been in competition with 6 or 7...

A lot of puppies/dogs won't drink unless they have eaten. As @Stacia says, how is the puppy in himself? Bright, happy, energetic? In between...
I think only John Lewis have a decent department these days, but that's why we have Amazon! (or is that the other way round o_O) :D:D:D...
I wouldn't worry too much about a couple of steps, particularly if they are covered in carpet. I definitely would not have a young puppy running...
It's elastic - there are 3 bands of elastic around the pelt and the dummy - just good old fashioned haberdashery elastic stitched into a band. I...
I think that the reason dogs hate the ear cleaning bottle is because of the noise it makes in their ears when you release the pressure - it's a...
Oh, sorry, Kate @Beanwood, I posted the vid on clickergundog that I'm talking about above - so that'll make no sense! Here it is: [img]steady...
Placeboards are a big help with Charlie, yes. I would definitely train them right away with a new pup. I mainly use them when I want to move on...
It's raining today - boo! So we progressed our work with a pheasant pelt. I was pleased, he was very calm (we had previously had 'too excited to...
I found the difficulty with this was my dog didn't have any 'rear end awareness' - he would step back with his front paws, but getting him to move...
I think most Labradors are hungry all of the time! Mine certainly is - best thing you can do for your dog is keep him slim. So unless he starts...
Hello there You’ve had some great advice already. You can’t expect a young puppy not to pounce on people, or to lie quietly on a mat – young...
Not for a while yet. :) Charlie's growth plates closed at almost exactly a year, although I think he reached his final height (give or take a...
So sorry, Kate. A sad time for you and your family. :( I'm sure he had the most wonderful life with you.
