MBF...I live in an area where if you are on foot you either have to cross a busy high street or if I walk the other direction cross a busy road with heavy traffic. Most of the roads here are quiet, but you cannot avoid the busy few to get anywhere. The only no stress option is when we drive my dog s...

He looks like such a lovely boy!!

Amazing looking scenery...we've been talking about doing a driving /walking holiday in northern Europe with Hattie for ages..very inspiring!!

Hey WufWuf..thanks for your reply :D Giving her back her power to say "no" without you trying to get her to change her mind will help her confidence grow as she will learn that she gets to decide how much she can cope with. Coaxing is not a good plan at the moment. Thanks for the reassuran...

I'm in need of some fresh idea's guys...apologies, this might be a longish post... As I have mentioned before Hattie has noise phobia, which includes feeling overwhelmed when out on walks when in busy areas...this has been going on for her whole life (she's nearly 3), and I think it has stemmed from...

Great story Nettle! :D I was chatting to someone from my training club who has a couple of large breed bitches..she was surprised at me saying I was neither breeding from nor spaying Hattie..She told me how she had let her dogs have one season before they were spayed...but to be honest given the siz...

Hey guys, was just curious as to when i first posted Hattie's clear wormcount results... so 11 months or so on..and we have had another lot of results back and they havent changed, she's virtually clear!! I don't think she has been wormed or de -flea'ed since possibly the beginning of 2013...and not...

EB- sounds amazing...would love to start really learning more by going to some conferences and workshops..T Touch sounds fascinating. I looked at the link that you posted on Charig and it seems he's based just up the road from me!!

Hey guys I've noticed recently that Hattie has stains on the outer facing edges of her bottom canines? (those big pointy teeth anyway)..she's fed raw..so was wondering if anyone could recommend anything, a particular cut of meat or something that would help clean them? The rest of her teeth look lov...

oh no..my pics have come out all wrong!!!!

so although it seems like an age away after a week at work I wanted to share some pics of our break in \cornwall with hattie check out the beaches... https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7340/14191259161_75a6cbcaf2_s.jpg 2014-05-08 15.58.54 by katej215 , on Flickr https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7397/14192...

Don't put your dog in a situation where they can practice unwanted behaviour ...when Hattie overnight transformed from super glue puppy to ' stuff you, I'm doing my own thing' puppy, I should have put her straight back on a long line till we'd proofed her recall through her adolescence...I for some ...

)))Hugs((( Rachel...how awful for you

Check out wobble boards for dogs, you should find other bits of kit and info related to core training...

Fingers crossed you are able to manage this with various therapies ...I'm assuming there are no holistic vets in your neck of the woods?

Ha..I clearly can't tell one Border from another..

Ok I'm guessing the close up shot by the waters edge is Ben and the close up with Poppy is charlie?

Bless her, she looks like such a sweet girl..lovely to hear she's back in the UK with you

Lovely pics Amy...you cant beat the lakes...though at this time of year it's lamb -tastic and i always worry we are going to get charged at by some bold as brass old ewe

The dogs look in great condition...is that charlie or ben?
