Thanks all. Well they are drinking out the same bowl, she is recovering well and they walk nicely on the lead together, she does come up and sniff his nose and he does still pester her! We do have snaps/growls if she is lying down and resting and he comes near her, I am guessing this is normal? she ...

Hi, she is back at the vet tomorrow, I rang them today. My dogs are not crated other than nighttime? and when we go out if nobody is uin such as school runs which wont be for weeks yet, so currently only crated at night, her bed crate is now in the area we are in, incase she feels the need to escape...

PHewwwww thanks :) I was worried i had done damage! I am hoping they settle, we are monitoring it closly and they will not be left alone uncrated, expecially whislt she is recovering and not for many months. I am keeping him away from her currently as much as possible, same room but a way apart, the...

Oh no, we got another dog for our pup to have a companion, would he of been better as an only dog? I am hoping this works :/

Thanks :) I recently read this http://leerburg.com/pdf/introducingdogs.pdf http://leerburg.com/pdf/introducingdogs.pdf and panicked as they are arctic breeds they wouldnt tolerate all that crating and lack of affection. The only time she is gretting snappy or growly, is when he has pestered her and ...

We recently got a new addition. We rescued a 4 yr old husky. She is new to the house, she has met our 8 mth old samoyed twice before we got her and we collected her straight from desex surgery. She is overweight and kept escaping ( she was a neighbours) but was undesexed (we just had her desexed) an...

thanks, we are going to have to go snail pace I guess, the anxiety starts immediately. No, never done clicker training, only food. interested though :) There's a really nice video somewhere of someone teaching a dog to enjoy being groomed, but I just can't find it, sorry! I'm sure it won't have any ...

He starts to fidget during the grooming, leaning into me, trying to get of the table or away from me on the floor, he movces around and gets more an dmore naxious. the trouble is if we stop before this happens we will never groom him at all, as it starts immediately as soon as you groom and ALWAYS h...

Thanks, breeder came today and gave him a small brush. She is going to ask around for tips as he seems to be pretty anxious over grooming. I am too hard on myself, she says his coat is very good and well kept, the ONLY thickness and minor tangling is the bum and a little clumping under the belly :) ...

just ordered some

oh cool I had read a report not so long ago where people were using horse products and gave it terrible reviews as it was for horses not dogs and caused issues with the coats?
You say not to keep it on his coat but he only gets bathed once every month to 6 weeks, will it still be OK to use?

hi, isnt the cowboy magic for horses?
I was told by the breeder who shows and uses it and the maker that reviva is geat for matts?

Thanks all xxxx The breeder is comming tomorrow so going to help with the grooming issue. His top head is beautiful the back end clumpier. He is tolerating me sitting inside and brushing gently with the double ended metal comb and teasing it out in lines around the bum area, it is comming easily so ...

well all a development, not sure if this explains the issues we suddenly had? I guess time will tell? I noticed he was pacing around yesterday a lot and again today, actually he has been increasingly pacing for the whole week... The last 2 days he has been crying to go out and not actually wanting t...
