Re: Sensitive collie
We have to go to a show next weekend as I'm helping to run it and I need to be there to manage a ring and help to set up the show. After that we'll have a break for a few weeks. I'm not going to continue with the trainer who likes wait at the start and keeping quiet during the class. I think Sasha's...

Sensitive collie
I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to handle a sensitive collie. I do a lot of agility with Sasha but within the last year she's become quite stressed at shows and sometimes at training classes. I'm wondering if I'm trying to impose too much control over her and making her a bit ...

Re: six month old puppy that bite's very hard
At four weeks this puppy was much too young to leave his mother and this could be part of the problem. If you are unable to make any progress I would consider consulting a dog behaviourist who can see the problem first hand and advise on how to help you and your dog.

Amazing anti bark tool
I just had to put this on here as it's working so well with my noisy border collie, Sasha. Little Miss Gobby has virtually stopped barking this morning after I used this to make a silly noise. http://www.dogsown.co.uk/training/training_aid.jpg It's only a cardboard tube from the inside of a roll of ...

When you do agility a lot of dogs tend to watch the body language of the handler rather than listening to what they're saying. This is definitely the case with my dogs. They learned long ago that it was best not to listen to the silly old woman wobbling along behind. I can't tell left from right at ...

I used a Halti harness on Jamie. He's a big flat coated retriever cross and there was one particular place where he really kept pulling hard. The harness helped to stop him and he walks on a loose lead now without the harness. I bought an Easy Walk harness for Sasha and this works well for a short t...
