Oops , I've feel I've started something off

Emmabeth , you shouldn't have to do all this deleting and stuff because it takes your time away from answering the questions.
TBH for such a large and busy forum , I'm surprised at how few Mods there are .

We seem to have been targeted by spammers a lot lately and its really annoying .
I've reported a couple but there is so much of it .

Well done for taking in a stray dog . She sounds a real cutie. What are you dogs names? How does your whippet x react when she behaves like this? She sounds similar to my chi I adopted last year . I have two other small dogs and she did, and still does sometimes , the same thing. Shes very wriggley ...

They 've had him for a very short while . he needs more time and if this were me I would carry on with just placing things inside the crate and let hím go in and out as he choses but not shutting the door . When they travel , do they use the crate for the car only or will it be used in the places wh...

Sorry , i cant think of anything . Does he have to be crated?

Oh dear , scrub that one then ! They are tutors for COAPE courses too.

I like Sarah Whiteheads book too. :) Dogs by the Coppingers is the book recommended for those doing behaviour courses , Its solely about the origin ,behaviour and evolution of dogs . Its a great book but being scienced based I found it hard going . :roll: Dominance , Fact or Fiction by barry Eaton ,...

4. We come home and I feed the dogs. Honestly, I've been behind on obedience work and it's been difficult to do with two dogs now (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, bad owner...). Don't beat yourself up about this , you're a loving caring owner who's gone the extra mile for her dogs ! This is just a quick ...

GWD, I sympathise, I adopted pip JRt x in Oct 2010. he was saved from the pound and then had two foster homes by the time he came to me . he howled and barked the minute i walked out the door , it was a very stressful time , a real nightmare, I was lucky I had access to behaviourists for advice and ...
