I do hope Oban is ok.
My only comfort is that by the time I've finished training this dog, there won't be a problem that I haven't tried to tackle....:D:D:D No...
Charlie will not return the first dummy if there is a second dummy down. He will take the first dummy to the second dummy, try to pick them both...
Hello, and a very warm welcome. Oh dear, rubbish luck. I suppose it depends where you are going. If somewhere isolated and quiet, perhaps it...
It's up to you about paying for a consultation with your vet - I do like to consult my vet on all treatments my dog gets, I think that's best....
They are hard, although soften as dog slobber soaks into them. :p They are big, so unlike hard things like nylabones, a power chewer can't get...
Charlie loves Anco roots. So much so that he bounces them off the furniture in delight. And they are big, hard and heavy - they don't half leave a...
The worst value - for my dog - was an 'everlasting treat', which I know others have used with success. It was a hard round ball of a treat that...
I just stick to kongs - I found a disadvatange with everything else. Either a risk to teeth, upset tummy, concern over quality, or the chew lasted...
I'm so glad Lilly is doing well. Soft sand is hard work, and not great for unstable joints. I don't worry about firmer wet sand though. Through...
Hello there, it's lovely to see you again. Sorry to hear about the problems, it must be worrying. I'm afraid this sounds like one for the pros -...
You asked for tips....calming circles. Get your over excited, ridiculous dog out of the car and walk a circuit, round the car park is usually...
The only people that don't have problems in news places are: a) people who don't take their dogs to new places (and that's an awful lot of people)...
Charlie is extremely straightforward. If you play nice, gentle chase games, don't touch the chocolate fur too much (no rough stuff), and are...
Yes, I think it is - eventually. But I think only the closed registers need go (and I'm beginning to think they are not necessary). But that would...
I can't quite believe it, I have to say - that it takes so much time, and so many steps. It possibly is a great deal easier with a younger dog....
Still, it's a good idea. After all, how difficult can it be, really? You need a breed standard - bit of a faff to write, but not all that...
I don't know whether the show world is corrupt or not - I hope not. But other, more surprising competitions have turned out to have been...but I...
Anyway, enough of dreaming of the sunny uplands when my dog is trained....and back to the slog of getting a steady(ish) dog from Charlie, the dog...
These judges need sacking then. That's the whole point. The breed standard. Not what random ideas any old tom, dick or harry has about what a dog...
