Re: More Mods?
If it was possible, I agree that a couple of trusted members might be 'given' restricted access to responsibly edit posts, even if only to move SP*M posts to one folder/location out of the public view. The posts could then be 'dealt with' by an authorised person. Just a thought ...

Re: ADs on Facebook
A few weeks ago, a young dog turned up outside my fence wearing around it's little neck what looked like a detonator ('ecollar'). I thought I knew it's home, so after removing the device, we went for a walk around the block with a flat collar of mine and a lead. It pulled forward a little but respon...

Re: Need some advice regarding my rescued GS...
Hi. I'd back right off the training, at least until you find out the full condition of the dog's hind quarters. After an interrupted four weeks only, the dog is probably still wondering why it's life has just been turned upside down. If it's in pain, and confused, the best thing right now is try mak...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
A funny (interesting) moment last night - I placed down a tasty?/smelly treat each for Kelly dog, and Max the GH, as they relaxed on their beds. Kelly dog claimed her's almost instantaneously. Max the greyhound looked at his 'free' treat and took a good 5-10 seconds deciding if it was worth the effo...

Re: I'm at my wits end! (Leash Reactivity)
Hi. In addition to the above, try google something like " how adrenaline (and cortisol) affects dog behaviour " or "chronic stress in dogs ". Or have a read here http://www.greenacreskennel.com/dog-behavior-and-training/understanding-canine-stress . In short, stress builds quickl...

Re: Jasper's Norfolk holiday
Looks like a great stretch of beach to have a run. I'd like to take Max for a nice run on the sand at the beach but I'm not yet 100% confident that he wouldn't bolt . One day.

Re: advice on how to find a good rescue to adopt from
Limited interwebs
Hi. I fostered some greyhounds (qld,Australia) and also adopted one. Found that just starting the process (after lts of research), made decision making easier. Subitting an enquiry to the Rescue got the ball rolling. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about the 'people' causing so much grief. There's a saying that - no good deed goes unpunished. Cheers.

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
Max the greyhound is recovering like a champ from having a broken tail with possible nerve damage. Vet removed the short broken part a few days ago under anesthetic. He' still on meds for a few days (pain relief and antibiotics) and he gets the sutures out next week. When the tail was broken, the on...

Re: Need help/advice training our lurcher
Hi Chris. No advice except: From the one picture here and what you've said, I'd guess your Freddie is less lurcher and more collie. I'd have another look at working one on one in your home/work/car/whatever with a good dog trainer and/or behaviourist who can help you, to help your dog. Sounds like F...

Re: My dog bit my child HELP!
Hi. So sorry that your baby was bitten. It sounds from your post like you have a fairly normal dog, and a fairly normal toddler(?). Safety of both are important. I think you've answered your question. If baby is too young to start teaching her safe human-dog interactions, keep them safely separated....

Re: Shy anxious dog...
Hi. What Nettle said. Sounds like you're dog is in capable hands, but I'd suggest putting even less pressure on the dog to be 'good' in situations that it finds stressful. Reactivity on-leash is often about fear of a trigger (maybe an approaching person, dog, child, hand, whatever), coupled with the...
