As a veteran of training three children and two dogs I think it is largely common sense. You can, with fear and punishment , train a child or dog...
I never insure my pets for several reasons. 1. As your pet ages and is more likely to need Vetinary attention, rates rise. 2. There is always an...
Thursday morning at 6.30 we were woken by a crying Molly. OH went downstairs and she practically knocked him over in her rush to get into the...
I write as someone who knows exactly what you are experiencing. There were many times in the first year or so that I thought "what have I done,...
Molly was from a large litter, 12 as I recall, and my God did she bite. I wonder if wether they come from Show lines or Working Lines has any...
Molly is my dog, she was bought for me because I love having a dog. My husband does not like dogs, but indulges me as he knows how much I love...
I think you mean Dr Ian Dumbar. I haven't read his books, so I cannot comment. I liked Pippa's books because they are very readable. There is...
Poor you, you really do have an awful lot on your plate. But on the upside you now know that what you are experiencing is perfectly normal puppy...

Just echoing everything that everyone else has said. Canine teenagers are horrible. You have worked so hard training them and just when you...
I would agree young Labradors are very boisterious. I thought they were lovely calm dogs, until I got one. Puppyhood is relatively easy compared...
I've not been around much recently, but I had thought "I wonder if Julie is going to get a new puppy". Great News. Obviously I think a yellow...
I too have a boisterious reactive dog. They don't grow out of it. We teach them to remain calm(ish) Molly is now 2 years and eight months old....
As you now know, you have a very normal puppy and us 'old hands' have all been through it. On the upside, as well, as exhaustion I lost over half...
When you go to pick him/ her up wear old clothes, take an old towel and lots of kitchen paper towel, they frequently don't travel well. Ask...
