I've just added myself and we are not far away in North Bucks.
Or me! I've just added myself and we're in Olney in Bucks! I think I'm between the two of you!
We have the same problem with 12 month old jessie. Her recall is ace in pretty much every other situation! But people and dogs she is like a loony...
Awwwwww. She is too cute!!!!!!
I have no experience of muzzles, but just wanted to give you some hope. Jessie was a dedicated poo/anything eater. We kept on with teaching leave...
At puppy classes we were trained to stream feed treats to encourage a nice lead walk, so at least I guess the reward goes some way to make up for...
Honestly, you are so doing the right things. Jessie is 13 months now and we have been doing this a while and starting to see results. Not perfect...
Honestly it does get better, Jessie has been a right pain in the backside at times. But consistent training and patience are key and she is...
Oh god, I do feel your pain!! I hate going to the vets. Our vet has a policy of 'no fear' vets visits. So they actively encourage you to take them...

The puppy class we went to had a little boy with his bull dog (and his Mum was there). Maybe you could all go to a training class and your son...
I'm sure you have made the best decision for your family. Better to do it now rather than later. It is impossible to fully understand how hard a...

Ha!! I'm certainly not that! More a slow moving, wheezing lump!
Thanks for that, really helpful! She currently has around 1 1/2 hrs spread over 2 walks. When my husband is away it would be better for me to...
Jessie turned 1 this week, so having been very careful about how much and what exercise she has, my thoughts are turning to exercise going...
My children were 3 and 6 when we got Jessie our puppy. Part of the reason we got her was because they were already quite scared of dogs after some...
Aw, poor you, it is such a worry. I really hope she's home soon. Let us know how she is. Thinking of you. X
Not masses to add to the good advice above. But my girl Jessie is very similar to your dog,you are not alone. We've been practicing loose lead...
