Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
Well, we had a slightly traumatic walk this morning. Timber decided to chomp on the very, very, sloppy poo that another dog had done. Well I hope it was a dog. Or at least I think I hope that :roll: . Being so soft as to be almost diarrhoea he couldn't 'drop it' - not that he is very reliable at tha...

Re: Vent!
if any dog in therapy shows any signs of discomfort they grab their collar and haul them directly to the object of their fear and force them into a down or a sit so they can hold still while they're being pet by the object of their fear. I saw a video online of a man being forced to hold a snake. H...

Clever Jasper!
Today I think I will ask Mr F to drop me and Timber off on our coastal path about 4 miles from home and we will walk back. I know that doesn't sound far but Timber only has little legs!

Re: Seeking advice: very anxious small rescue dog
Someone said earlier in the thread, two steps forward and one step back ... Regarding nipping your husband, two things come to mind (and they are both relevant, it's not an either/or).

Re: Hello!
Thank you! May I ask a quick question of anyone who reads this? I am still finding my way around but I can't seem to find out why sometimes the little icons to the left of some threads seem to have a scrolling text image and some static. I will probably kick myself for being daft when someone tells ...

Re: Seeking advice: very anxious small rescue dog
I'm new to the forum so I realise things may have moved on in the last few weeks but I do have a couple of grooming tips. First one - can you train him to rest his chin in your non-dominant hand? Start with holding a treat in your non dominant hand and as he comes for it, when he touches with his no...

Hello!
Hi all, my first post - very pleased to have joined your forum. I have a small terrier thing called Timber (a cross between a Jack Russell and a toilet brush) who is great fun - by no means perfect but very enthusiastic. Looking forward to learning and hopefully being able to contribute where I can.
