Thank you all for your responses. I hadn't really thought it would still be a pain issue with him. He seems to be walking very well on that leg and doesn't appear to be in any discomfort. We are going back to the vets at the end of next week, so will see what the next stage is. I have been doing sho...

He had his accident just under 4 weeks ago, with a very serious injury to his back leg, and had a toe amputated. He is just over 2 and half years old. Before his accident, he was ok with people when he was outside. He could be a little unpredictable with dogs, but only when we were out with my other...

My German Shepherd was run over recently, and has now become aggressive towards people. I have only just started taking him out on short walks, to build up the strength in his leg. He has always been a little aggressive towards other dogs, but never people. I think it is an insecurity issue with him...

Thank you for your suggestions in dealing with his lead aggression. I have already tried him at a distance, when we visit the park, and I seem to have that under control. And I will definitely try your approach and bring closer at a gradual pace. I think the real problem is when we are in a situatio...

Can anybody help me or give me some advise please. I have a lovely white German Shepherd, and I am experiencing some problems with him, especially lunging at other dogs when he is on his lead. If we are out, on an off lead walk, he is absolutely fine. An example that I experienced with him today was...

Hi, I just wanted to let you know how I have been getting on with recall training. It definitely isn't something that happens over night. Her recall has improved immensely, but we are not quite there yet. (I don't think she will ever be 100 per cent). I am continuing to work on all the suggestions t...

Thank you very much for the reply and advise. I already own a 30ft training lead and I know one of the suppliers for the harness, so hopefully should have one by the end of the week. Her daily routine is usually a good hours walk with both dogs in the morning, after I've done the school drop off. Th...

Hi, I'm new here from Surrey, England. I have a lovely 2 1/2 year old labrador that I have had since she was 9 weeks old, but whose recall is getting worse. She will go off into the woods on a walk and will not come back, no matter what enticing treats I have with me. I have filled my pockets with h...
