Somewhere between 5 and 6 months old depending on if you count by weeks or months Diane :D Ted finished growing height and lengthwise by about 9 months so I don't think Ella is done cooking yet :lol:

Re: Communication and listening to your dog.

I hate not being able to work out what they want, with Ted it's usually pretty easy because we know each other well so I can work it out. His tried and tested method of sitting by what he wants and grumbling usually works. But Ella tells me she needs something by coming and touching me with a paw an...

Re: Unexpected: someone wants me to train their puppy

Ooo, this is exciting news. I would say don't let your enthusiasm make you want to fix everything all at once :D We all know time and management is massive piece of the jigsaw with puppies, sometimes it's a relief to new puppy owners to realise that. The good news is they haven't mentioned toilet tr...

Re: Gotcha!!

Awwww bless her, my favourite Sweetie story is you carrying her like a rugby ball whilst running in your heels when her toy rolls under the garage door (or something to do with the garage door and a toy I think) :lol:

Re: Vent!

But just a hint - if I've called all my dogs off the path to let you pass. And have them all sitting and watching me. Do NOT stop to talk & tell me how gorgeous Poppy is whilst there is a large American bulldog jumping all over them all which I am trying to body block/treat bomb whilst simultan...

Re: Breeze, lately

I'd make a mental note of when she is likely to come into season again and file it under "things to remember and look out for". Ted is in love with a collie and when she's in season (literally due any time around now :roll: ) I do have to keep an extra eye on him during her middle week bec...

Re: The ladydog and being on heat

Thanks everyone, that helps :D She's just past 5 months old now and still very much a little girl, although maybe slightly less of an airhead than when she arrived, she still does a lot of stuff without really thinking :lol: It'll be interesting to see a girl dog develop and see how this is differen...

Re: Crufts 2014

Oh I hate having my photo taken too, well I hate posed photos :? Everyone looks like they're having a great time.

I think my preference would be to meet you Emmabeth because I can honestly say I have learnt a lot more from you than the 3 celeb dog trainers put together :D

Re: The ladydog and being on heat

I've read this a few times in preparation, as at some point I am going to have this "joy" :lol: The one thing that hasn't come up, is whether females go through a hormone spike similar to males which causes other dogs to take exception to them? I know teenagers of either sex (or any specie...

Re: Clicker training with unusual animals

I did wonder about the tone too.

I LOVED the golf, his determination to hit the ball :lol: And I loved his chuntering (technical term) as he was going up the ramp with the basketball, what was that about :?:
