Re: Behavioral & Physical Effects of Spaying/Neutering
hi
im going to talk to my mum about this, we have no problem with not spaying her, we already have a entire b itch, but it was just in the contract when we brought her,

Re: Behavioral & Physical Effects of Spaying/Neutering
ive got a nearly 5month lab/GSD cross. we have never had a spayed b itch in our house before and this has made me quite concered.
we HAVE to have her spayed, as it was in our contract from the rescue. they say to do it after the first season, but i think we should wait.
any thoughts???

Re: long lead training
i have had a look at the scootering since i saw someone mention it on here (can't remember if it was you or not), as i think my dog would really enjoy running with me, but i found that the scooters were really expensive. then when just browsing through the clickertraining.com website i found a artic...

Re: collar is making my puppy scratch
yeah i thought about getting a nylon one,
she has it one for 5 or 10 min, 4 or 5 times a day. i thought she would get used to it but no joy.
but to be honest i might just do without.
