    Young dog charging!

    Hey again! That’s great to hear!! Awesome news, I will look forward to that day! Akela has the stinky sprats too.. he can’t have processed food. He’s allergic to potato, sweet potato, carrots, rice (brown and white) salmon and so much more! He’s strictly chicken/white fish/ liver/heart/ beef...

    Food aggression lead to my mum in hospital- please can someone help

    Aww, I love a big bouncy doggo! I feed Akela twice a day and do lots of training in between with treats- he’s completely cool with his treats in the day. Just his precious bowl, or should I say caution when people are preparing his food. Since the attack it’s just me feeding him now and that...

    Hope your not having dinner. (poo warning)

    Hi there My boy had a terrible tummy for such a long time when I got him- I gave up on having a nice garden for quite a while! I would always say just give your vet a ring if anything concerns you too much! Not sure about the food you give him, a few people say it’s not good? Maybe something...

    Thank you for sharing your experience. You made a really good point. I feel so bad I used to take his food away! It was never a regular thing and was always switched for higher rewards.. and immediately given back. I always thought this would help him know people are the source of good things...

    Thank you. I’m really concerned about adding to his stress levels. He hasn’t been himself since it’s happened. I don’t want to ruin him in this crucial time! All I’m doing is watching endless training videos, I don’t want to mess this up. He really means so much to me.

    Also I want to add, he gets my affection for free! I love my dog! I just read the NILIF approach online and it’s way more severe than what I do. I just try and teach good dog manners..

    Hi again, I’m sorry for saying your reply offended me. I don’t want to let my dog down and I won’t do that again. I won’t make him lie down and wait, in the back of my mind I just thought adding further distance and more commands may be what needed to be done. But if it’s detrimental to him I...
