Thanks, that makes sense. However, while I do some training and games on walks, I would also like to have some down time, when we can both just...
@JulieT So do you think it was worth the money? I would be prepared to pay a small fortune if I could find someone who could 'cure' Lottie's...
Such a horrible thing to happen. Lottie and I have everything crossed and hope that Charlie continues to make a speedy recovery. xx
Recently I met a woman walking a Weimaraner, which kept jumping up at me and trying to mug my pocket. The owner asked if I had treats, and when I...
Lottie is also partial to loose orangey poo :confused:
I do use a muzzle if I know Lottie won't have her listening ears on (i.e. when we're walking with other people and dogs). But I want to train her...
That's brilliant Pongo :). My mum asked me to be YOOSFOOL and take some cardboard to the RESICLING box but that doesn't make sense - I go to the...
It is odd, isn't it? I usually pop in too to see if I can help in any way - like eating some of the paper that they like to play with in the...
@Lara It's a very interesting question, and relates to one I was pondering as I walked Lottie on a long line in (what I call) too-many-pheasants...

Awww, I know what that's like WillowShadow, I have a bestest boyfriend that's called Ian and he's black like me but bigger and I'm just soooooo...
So we went to the big field today for the first time in ages. It was amazing. Sometimes Mum finds treat trees in the woods but today the whole...
@SteffiS You have my sympathy. Lottie is a dog-poo addict (with a lot of food intolerances, just to add to the stress :(). Where I live is...
Amazon often recommends dog training books to me (no idea why ;)) and the title of this one caught my eye: 'The Human Half of Dog Training:...
She doesn't always look straightaway so I stand still until she does and then I click. She's getting much faster at looking back, though today she...
If Lottie's trotting ahead on the long line and the line's about to go tight, I hold still so she feels a bit of pressure on the line. She then...
I have exactly the same problem with Lottie (now 2). I was also reluctant to use a training line because most of our walks are in wooded areas and...
Lottie ate several socks when she was a puppy. Most came out one end or the other, although one never appeared to my knowledge (and I was...
Lottie has never eaten her own poo and didn't start eating other dogs' poo until she was about 5 months (just so you're warned :rolleyes:). She...
