Charlie was sick this morning, only once but there was ALOT of it...so much so that my OH went to pick it up thinking it was a rock!! :lol: We thought he was ok then but about 10mins ago he was sick again, just walked over to his bed and was sick. :( If we rub his tummy he growls a little, but seems...

Thanks for all the advice. Just been out for a walk with Charlie and he was brilliant!! He walked perfectly on a loose leash for the entire time he was on it which is unheard of for him, he came EVERY time he was called and didnt bite on the lead once!! :D AMAZING! Of course he got loads of clicks a...

Hi :) Everything is going well with Our pup Charlie atm, his loose leash walking is improving slowly, his mouthing has decreased alot,his recall is getting better, he is going all night without peeing (and barks in the morning to wake us if he reeeaaally needs to go!) which is great :D but one thing...

Hi, Im a bit confused with harnesses, We have a 'step in' harness that looks pretty much like this one http://www.petsathome.com/shop/black-nylon-dog-harness-by-pets-at-home-14253 Charlie will quite happily wear this one. Today I brought a 'control harness' as I was advised that it would help with h...

If it is an old style clicker (not the ones with the raised button) try putting a small piece of blue tack on the clicker, it muffles the sound, then you can gradually reduce the amount of blue tack as your dog gets used to the sound. If you have a raised button clicker then I read somewhere that yo...

Hi, Charlie has slept in the living/dining room since a week after we first got him, we give him a treat, turn iff the lights and leave him toys, chews etc he goes to bed fine. BUT this morning we noticed he has chewed straight through a wire :shock: , thankfully we turn all the electricity off so h...

Hey, Our 14week pup has started humping, he humps his blankets, the sofa and now our our feet and legs, especially my OHs! :? Its very annoying, not to mention embarassing when people are over! :oops: What should we be doing? when he humps us we are standing up and turning our back to him, when that...

Hey, we took Charlie to the vets today because he has been itching and biting his paws ALOT! I have always thought he did it a little too much but vets and others just kept saying it was nothing to worry about, he is my first puppy but I still knew something just wasn't right. Anyway I finally got s...

Oh thats helpful!
Are you putting him in a dif room to seperate him for your little girl? or just to get him used to it?
Will he use his crate yet?

Hey :) Glad you found this forum. (its sarah here btw in case u didnt already work that out!) Nettle is right, if you are going to rehome him it will only get harder. That in mind Im so so glad we didnt rehome charlie now, but then we didnt have kids to deal with as well. Any news from the breeder y...

I clicked on the link last night, not realising it would be a full length show (I was planning on going to bed) but I couldnt tear myself away. I stayed uo later than the OH which is unherad of in our house, it was so interesting, thanks for the link

Hi , Our collie x lab puppy Charlie is 12 weeks now, he has had his injections and is able to go out for walks. But im not sure how much exercise he needs. We have been taking him out for two 30min walks a day as well as playing fetch etc in the garden. He is often still full of energy when we retur...

Aw, thats great that Tabby can make them feel calmer
I work with Adults with autism and hope to be able to take my pup once he is fully trained

Hi, I have an 11 week puppy who was sick ALOT when we first got him, he stayed in his crate most of the time but once he was better he just wouldnt go in there. So its a little similar in that he related bad experiences to the crate. Anyway, This week I managed to train him to go into his crate/Bed ...

Thanks
Yeah, im working on it. I did what I have seen Victoria do on her show, I just turned my back (as much as poss with him hanging on my leg!), folded my arms and looked away, it worked within seconds, he did it twice and hasnt done it since, ill just keep an eye on it.
