Well, I don't know - because I never did. If I leave my older dog in the garden on his own now, say I accidentally shut him out when I'm getting...
Yep, absolutely. My puppy at 8 months is not left to wreak the garden unsupervised. I could leave my older dog in the garden alone but that's the...
Her symtoms have lasted longer than for Charlie, but have no way been as severe. She has stayed bright, happy and energetic and always wanted to...
I switch dogs with poorly tums to a Duck and Tapioca kibble or wet food and Betsy has been having this. I wouldn't ever feed chicken and rice to...
Betsy had solid poo for a day, then back to runny poo, and last night vomiting. So we are back off to the vet today. Feeling very sleep deprived...
Young male Labradors are strong. Girls are too, but generally not as strong. That lunging thing takes you off balance and time to time the dog...
I think it is much easier to train a dog to stay away from people when out and about than to not jump up. Of course do both, but in terms of...
This isn't steadiness, it's just a dog waiting for a chase. :) Why not move onto the next step, and train her to wait while you throw the ball and...
I'd say when you are laying on your death bed (don't want to be too depressing but we all die at some point :) ) what memory is going to give you...
I think you notice different coloured hair more (depending on what the hair is sticking to) but apart from that it's just to do with the quality...

Well, a dog that is in control around retrieving means the retrieve is on cue and the dog is steady. I'm sure that other people could come up with...
I honestly think that anyone who thinks their dog is 'ok' being outside alone is just kidding themselves. Dogs are social animals, and that's...
Betsy has just lost her puppy coat - oh boy, I have never seen so much hair. Cuddle her and she left you absolutely covered in hair. Furminator...
The thing is that rationing increases, not decreases, desire. So if you ration an obsessive retriever - one that is really showing signs of being...
Lots of retrievers react very differently to retrieving. Some are mad, bonkers keen from the get go, others need the retrieving instinct carefully...
I like my dogs to play with other dogs, but only if they stay responsive to me. I do not like play continuing if the dogs become unresponsive. So...
Ooo! Luna, that sounds fun! We had a pack Movie Night! I've neva had a Movie Night before! We had snax and all cuddled up on the sofa in a big...
This is normal though. Betsy was 5 months old before I could pat her without incurring fresh wounds....
Oh Yay! She has had her dinner 3 hours ago - and no liquid poo! Yay! Yay! Yet, anyway...... No poo at all. But that's fine. Have we turned a...
