I found this article by accident on Victoria Stilwell's web site. I thought those of you whose dogs may be reactive might find it interesting and...
Thank you Rosemary I do appreciate it. Don't worry if your busy we can wait we aren't going anywhere. ;)
I can't believe I missed this brilliant news yesterday. It's wonderful. Sounds like you might be part guineapig as well as part lab ;) but who...
There are no words that can make this better. I just hope the happy memories out weigh the sad very soon because I know millie gave you some very...
Just thought. Saying Rollo is leash reactive is probably a better description than leash aggressive. It means the same but doesn't sound quite so...
I've always thought the same Rosemary. Although Scott and Scout will do a good impression of wanting to rip the other dogs head off even though...
Rollo not coming when called I would say is a completely different problem and the owner obviously hasn't trained a recall. The aggression towards...

I found by accident that fleece is quiet difficult to chew. I got my auntie to make me a giant pillow case out of a couple of fleece blankets to...

I agree with Rachael. Try putting him back on the gastro food. My old lab had colitis for most of his life. When he was about 11 it started...
Get reading Rosemary, get reading. ;)
I found it depended which vet I saw whether the advice was starve or feed. It tended to be the old school vets who said starve. The advice now is...
Anyone who behaves like these people with dogs I think can be classed as weirdos with or without dodgey fluorescent clothes and all the rest. ;)
Neither of you have let your pups down. It's the nasty, ignorant people you both encountered who have let themselves down. My two don't like...
Brilliant that sam swam. :D So sorry you had to go through such a horrible experience though. I don't understand why anyone would kick a dog but...
I do something similar. I use "Good" as a reward marker so like you if the dogs are doing something I like I say "good" and they know a treat is...
Unfortunately we aren't just talking a couple of jumps it's more on the scale of a small kangaroo twice a day.:rolleyes: I was also wondering how...
Thanks Rachel. Very interesting article. Now I understand why Scout jumping up, getting down, then sitting and getting a treat is backward...
