Re: It's quiet in here !

So sorry Diane! Re the forums, when I initially agreed to manually vet each applicant, it was easy to determine who is genuine and who isnt... that no longer applies unfortunately :( Combined with the traffic going to facebook instead of forums, it's very difficult indeed to keep forusm going, which...

Re: Seeking advice: very anxious small rescue dog

You can get dry dog shampoos yes - I would use those and just brush him really well rather than bath. The bath is a BIG scary deal to a lot of dogs as asides from getting wet it involves lots of close physical restraint, slippery surfaces etc. My dogs (and some are long coated and some heavy wire co...

Re: lurcher behaviour problems!

All this management.... does get you VERY good at understanding wildlife, understanding and reading the environment looking for that wildlife and knowing where it might be and where its likely to go. Which sounds initially like a study you didn't sign up for, but believe me, you will see FAR more ou...

Re: Dog won't walk off the drive help!!

Firstly.. Stop forcing him, it's only going to make him worse and cause further problems. THe walk is FAR less important than his need to not experience stress and fear. If driving to suitable places works do that. THe priority should be teaching him that the outside world and all the sights and sou...

Re: Canine consultant like emmabeth?

I am finding more and more people are seeking professional advice before they get their puppy and as someone who provides that advice I think it is brilliant! The good news is you don't necessarily need the person giving the advice to be local - I am currently advising a lady from Surrey and she's w...

Re: Almost 7 month old Pup

Just catching up with this.. I will read through properly later (read the start and end, missed the middle, bad me!).. I want to re-iterate - adolescent dogs are a pain in the bum. It goes away in the end, but it might not happen until over 2 years old! Girls are not much better, mines had almost a ...

Always interesting, resource guarding and controlling peoples movement. 100% correct, she's insecure - but shes not 'possessive' as much as 'these things make me feel safe so I don't want to lose them' if that slight difference makes sense. I think you are also correct in your observation that shes ...

Re: Dogsitting a Puppy with Mild Separation Anxiety

I now specialise in SA and honestly, no - I would have him at your home full time whilst they are away, and then if you are willing to help them out, have him when they are out so that he can hten be stress free and able to complete a separation anxiety treatment course. SA will really only get wors...

Re: Where has everyone gone?

Thanks, but its not good enough and I will do better. Somewhat insanely I decided with a friend we'd put on a stunt dog production at the NEC ... at the national pet show - and it really didnt dawn on me that organising such a thing would be quite as completely bananas as it actually is. https://dog...
