Maggie This is purely in response to you, as I won't be dignifying the above with a response. My pup is a four month old Doberman *****, so its obviously not just bulldog thing. Just to let you know I have 'Googled' this and apparantly its quite common. What I also found is that in most cases the ob...

Mel,

Have you tried the Halti Harness as it looks very similar to this? PS what type of dog is Zulu and have you put a picture of him on the general discussions board yet?

Here's a question for you all, does anyone else's dog eat socks? And when I say 'eat' I don't mean chew, I mean swallow whole!! :shock: I was horrified the first time my pup did this as I am fairly used to her 'stealing and wanting me to chase her' game, but she had never done this before. Her runni...

Mel & Zulu, just for clarity what I am having a good old rant about is not people getting it wrong, as I am no expert myself and have just got my first pup of my own (rather than a family pet), but people who don't want to be bothered. Very few of here are real experts and have all needeed help ...

I thought that it said at the end of the programme that he was still with the family, so I assume that they decided to keep him anyway?

Her are a few piccies of my little girl Ellie. She is four months old in this pics: http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb58/Ocelot0411/2007_062317june070003.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb58/Ocelot0411/EllieSunbathing.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb58/Ocelot0411/Elliestanding.jpg...

Oh yes, sorry one other bit I forgot to rant about......... Now I may be wrong but it seemed to me that the lady in the program did not work (hence the half day sessions at the gym she referred to). Now assuming this is correct this makes me even more mad, as she cannot possibly claim that she doesn...

Yep Angela, you are of course quite right and I echo everything you say. I too am a Dobe owner and was shocked at Harvey's story last night. However, although of course I am a bit biased as Dobes are my favourite breed, this is of course not a breed specific problem. I must confess as the series goe...

All My intention here was not to invoke panic and I apologise if I have done so :shock: . However, I just wanted to make the point that we should be as vigilent with our pets as we are with our children. Bad service of this kind would not be acceptable or tolerated in the US and I see no reason why ...

All As you may have guessed this is a cautionary tale. As I work from the office for part of the week and from home the rest of the time, I have (until recently) employed a dog walker to come and see my dog on the days I am at work. As they hold keys to my house, I did all of the checks before they ...

Wow, thanks guys, I feel a lot better now :) . Emmabeth I think you hit the nail on the head with the 'boiling over' bit. Until recently Ellie was very shy around other dogs and only discovered for the first time about a fortnight ago, that other dogs could be a source of play. She has a couple of f...

Hi again, I am sure I am fast becoming the most proliflic poster on this site and I apologise for the rate at which I am firing these questions at you, but I had a rather upsetting incident with my Dobie pup last at puppy class. I am pretty sure that it was my fault and would very much like to put i...

Please help my puppy's gone mad!!! Until about two weeks ago I was feeling very smug about my progress with my Doberman pup Ellie (who is now just over four months old). She has learnt most of the basics and is generally quite well mannered in the house. It is important to point out here that I live...

Hi Merlin's mum I don't normally respond to other peoples posts as I do not consider myself to have sufficent experience to give anyone else advice, but your story moved me so much that I felt the need to post a message of support. My heart goes out to you as you obviously care for Merlin very much ...

Oh my word, my neighbours are going to think i am a complete loon!! :D Mind you they probably already do if they have seen me playing in the garden with her, as we are very silly and I even make her toys sing songs to her as we play, which she loves! Just to update you, I seem to have made a break t...
