We don't have much in the way of dog parks, but we do have similar smallish areas where many people, some infirm, some accompanied by young children, come to exercise their dogs, gossip, drink coffee etc. No way would I be bringing a dog that needed behavioural training to such places, because the e...

Aside from the issues already mentioned, given that a dog's sense of smell is so very superior to ours, it's highly likely that such scents in their immediate environment would distress them psychologically as well as physically. As you say, Suzette, Aromatherapy used for health reasons on animals i...

That's a good call, Fundog.

I am qualified as an Aromatherapist and you don't mess with essential oils. They are powerful medicines.

Though I suspect the ones used in diffusers are synthetics. Which are quite possibly very toxic - for us too.

I'd be happy with that side. He may have just scraped a gum on something.

Normally - and I do appreciate this is Jasper raw-fed dogs only get a small amount of soft tartar on the upper canines, and many don't even get that.

Whoops.........

I have one similar, and feel it's wasted on me and it was a lot of money on a camera I don't use to the nth degree. Then I thought: it still does my job the way I want it done, it still takes good pictures, and I don't need to be a camera geek just because I have a geeky camera. Unfortunately they a...

What a good facility to have close by. Happy 8 months birthday, Miles.

OH waggled the lead at the dog and made the usual noises. Dog, lying in her bed, put her paw over he...

They can be such grizzlers, can't they?! :lol: But we can never think they don't communicate. It's just that it's mostly transmit and not much receive. I hope you manage to get your knee sorted. I have 2 dud ones and OH is having to do the dogwalking at the moment. Our one remaining dog has gone fer...

What a lovely record to look back upon! You are doing a great job there.

I love the nesting lurcher pics!

Re: the barking/not barking at deliveries - it's possible that J feels more confident with both of you at home. Does he bark if OH is on his own?

I don't watch TV but a long time ago I used to read Anne McCaffrey, and there was a "Harper" in her books.

And what a lovely name Harper has!

JudyN, the tail-chasing creates an endorphin release activity and probably has been a lifetime coping mechanism for that dog.

Oh yes! Lucky hound.
