The most important thing to teach your dog is that he is safe and that you will only ever treat him with kindness - and that is going to take...
I suggest the book 'Mine' by Jean Donaldson.
The book gives an excellent method which works.
This must have been a nasty shock for your husband, but I agree just an instinctive response from a dog who was over-aroused and taken by...
She's 100% Beautiful! The only way of knowing her breeding is to have dna testing done, but as the owner of a 'mutt' (my gorgeous Molly in the...
