Hi. We hired a behaviourist at one point - she visited a couple of times and then gave us email support for about a year. But a lot of the things...
Hi everyone, We have a three year old Lab-Border-Collie-Springer-Spaniel called Florrie. We've had her since she was a puppy and she's always...
Hi guys, I need some arbitration, please. My husband and I are at loggerheads about how to raise and train our puppy (a 19 week old...
Oh - thank you so much, Jo!
Hi Jo and Michael, Here's a link to a video of Florrie chasing her house lead: [MEDIA] Although it's not shown on the video, we did offer the...
Great idea. Thank you. We'll do this asap.
