Hello and welcome to the forum. This does, indeed, sound like anxious behaviour, so I would address his arousal level rather than trying to stop...
Nope, sorry :D It's saying that you need to be aware of what might be in your dog food and, like you, I would choose to avoid anything that could...
As are beef, bison, chicken, duck, lamb, liver, rabbit, salmon and turkey. Are you really saying that these shouldn't be fed? NO! Not if it is a...
It's not conflicting, really, it's saying "make sure you check the parentage" :) It also depends what you mean by "better". Field Labs are often...
Lovely! Well done, Mags! I love how serious they all look, especially Thomas :D
In that case, I wouldn't be overly concerned, although the fact she drops off at the end of the long run maybe means she's not ready for the...
I'd say that is quite likely. I have an alert barker and it's not always easy to keep your cool. I have opened my front door and "shhhhed" people...
This is perfectly normal! Let me point you to another thread by our lovely member @Atemas. This might help you see you're not alone and, even...

Why do you say that? "Meal" is the same product as the meat, just dried in order to make it more usable. The protein content of a food containing...
I would get a copy of "I'll Be Home Soon" by Patricia McConnell and work through the protocols in there:...
It sounds like perfectly appropriate doggy body language to me - he's saying "Hey! I'm not a threat!". The play behaviour makes it sound as if...
Oh, and another thing I like to train is "paws up on me". My cue for this is "get up". This is great for helping Willow's confidence, and I hope...
Scattering food when your pup is over-aroused isn't rewarding his behaviour, it's helping to calm him down, so it's a very appropriate thing to...
Just realised this could well end up in an animated discussion of breakfast and tea products throughout the various regions of the UK :cwl:
And don't forget to put a soft roll (a bap?) on the R :D Up where we are, there's a stronger emphasis on the end. So it's more "carb-ON" :D
I have two field/working lines dogs and one show lines dog. They are all of UK origin. I believe the field Labs ("American") in the US tend to be...
