Thank you Mattie and emmabeth for wading through my long post One of the possiblities is that as S is being bullied continually, she is trying to bully R just because she can. yes, I think this is correct. S's dad is particularly keen on the more spectacular CM corrections. Mum is not so bad. It has...

How hands-on/off should we be with this situation?
I’d be grateful to hear what you think is going on here, and the best thing to do about it: My lurcher, R, and I walk regularly with a Golden Retriever, S, who is Caesar Millan-ed at home. We met S at a time when R and I were recovering from the trauma of a 2-dog attack on R, leaving her bitten an...

DoggoneGA, I have been in the same position as you on a forum, i.e. out of sync with the philosophy of the forum on certain issues. I know what it is like. The more you explain what you do, the worse it gets. When several people question you, if you are a naturally polite person, you try to answer e...

Nettle, that would be expecting a dog to be able to find a causal link between two negatives - which is pretty advanced reasoning and IMO unlikely that a dog can make that link. I was discussing this with OH and he says most of his co-workers can't make that link either. I did not work hard linked t...

Anyone who does not support and promote positive-based training can go find another forum to participate on, where they might be made to feel more welcome. This is not one of them. do we have a definition of 'positive based'? Before I get my coat? oh, yes we do The training methods are those that a...

Picture this: A pack of foxhounds, thirty huge dogs bred and trained to hunt, waits calmly at the meet at the feet of the huntsman's horse. Then with a toot on the horn, they assemble beside his horse and trot several miles in close formation to the first draw. At the draw, they wait for command, a...

I have lots to do with lurchers - one of my favourite types of dog - and I would no way recommend them for a child's first dog. Not because they aren't wonderful - they are - but because of the prey drive. It takes expert managing if the dog is to live a fulfilled life with lots of free-running exe...

no, we didn't use the barefoot detection method this time thankfully! My dog would also like to advise your doggies on this point: the barefoot detection method may result in mum jumping and squealing. She is NOT inviting you to play wild chase-me games, especially if the detection has taken place i...

My dog has asked me to post these helpful guidelines just in case your dogs are struggling to find suitable sicking-up places. When choosing a place and time to throw up her dinner a dog should follow this flowchart. Tiles or Carpet?> Carpet Fitted carpet or removable mats? > Fitted Plain or Pattern...

Yesterday I saw a woman I'd never seen before. I rarely see people when I'm out as I'm in a quiet area and tend to know the regulars. She had four dogs and they were BEAUTIFULLY OBEDIENT!! Yay, well done that woman! You don't realise until you see a well trained dog just how unusual it is. We don't ...

Many thanks for that Missymay :) remember that dogs do not generalize, so what you teach in the kitchen is learned in the kitchen but not in the living room. I hadn't really thought about that until recently. I wonder if the learning is transferred from one situation to another according to the inte...
