regarding the harness,.....the vet recommended i use a lupi, it is a rope type harness lightweight...i have used this twice, found it difficult to put back on for his walk home......my son used this last night, did a walk in an area where traffic would be, slowly getting jasper used to his fear of traffic.......this is the way forward as he walked beautiful a bit nervy of the traffic, day by day we will do short walks amongst traffic to overcome his fear ......did any one .watch paul o,grady, for the love of dogs on labrador guide dogs?
Re: vet recommendation Well done Lynne , we just have to find the right one for our dogs , some react better to harness, some to leads but you do right to take jasper out for short on lead walks around traffic, well done Yes, we watched the programme last night, oh those little fat puppies , just divine werent they ;D I know someone who is a puppy walker , I dont think I could do it, fancy having to hand them back for training :'(
Re: vet recommendation we will get him there its just being consistent ......oh they was adorable.......loved watching them being born , how as millie been during the night, as she settled ?
Re: vet recommendation brilliant i knew she would settle well with sam she sounds like a little darling
Re: vet recommendation So glad to hear that you've found a possible solution! I'm sure Jasper will settle down around traffic in no time - Simba was a bit nervous too when we first got him but now how's mainly okay. Still a bit worried about things like bobcats or other small noisy vehicles, but he's not too bad about those now, as well.
Re: vet recommendation took him out today on a lead walk.......i have got to say i am bursting with pride he was a star, walked beautifully .......there was a wagon just ready to move off from parked position, i sat him down put my arms around him, held on to his collar, he was brilliant, so a big treat to a run off lead ....... a big massive 10 /10 today,...his behaviour was very much improved, hope this is a sign of my little fella growing up ......10 / 10 on recall yes yes yes
Re: vet recommendation Well done Jasper and you too Lynne,you've done a great job with him,he's a little superstar,glad there's no killer trucks in Jasper's life x
Re: vet recommendation he is getting there angela ......the lupi i mentioned seems to be what i have been looking for walking brilliant, sits when we reach the crossing........think my training as just started to pay off ........one day at a time
Re: vet recommendation Yay! Yay! Yay! These are the days to put in the memory banks and pull out when you have one of those "not so good" ones....! So glad to hear the harness is working - you'll be able to have enjoyable walks now!
Re: vet recommendation today was a pleasure lisa, .....all i want is a lovely family pet, to give all my love and time he is just tearing a tennis ball to bits i am getting there, been a journey pheww
