There are no words. Much love from us here, too. Try to stay brave for him tomorrow. I don't know how, I just don't. How I wish I could take it...
He's such a lovely boy, and great fun!! Here are some pictures of him: https://photos.app.goo.gl/joVLvDWXDfEYngf86
Huge thanks to you @Aitch for taking on this wonderful boy. And ... good luck :cwl:
I’ve done quite a lot of research about noise aversions, since I have a dog who has serious noise issues. Some dogs are genetically pre-disposed...
Don’t be in any rush to reduce the treats. Reinforcing a lot in the early stages leads to a much stronger behaviour. Here’s what I would do. Don’t...
When mine eat from bowls, I use a raised bowl for my tripawd dog as it’s easier for her to balance with her head up, but the others have theirs on...
Buy the baby a collar? :D

Hehe, I don't understand you lot with your collar fetishes. How do you choose which to put on each day? Nope, mine have one each and that's that....

If you look back through my historical posts (I'm not expecting you to, life's too short, so just trust me on this one ;) ) you'll see I've done...
Happy gotcha day GoodGirlJoy! :)
Oh, and if you don't like what you see, don't feel you have to continue because they're local; most people who choose force-free trainers travel...
