    Neutering and weight gain

    Yes we do worry , always questioning the ifs and buts ! I`ve always had all my dogs neutered at around 10-15 months of age, males and females , and havent ever had a weight problem with any of them , good luck !

    Best time to put flea treatment on a dog

    Havent used Frontline for some time now but I`m pretty sure that its more effective if you leave it for at least 24 hours after bathing . Similarly, dont let them get soaking wet 24 hours after treatment, good luck .

    'tia' the dog with no tongue.

    Thats a lovely bitter sweet story of your brave dog . It never ceases to amaze me how dogs can and do adapt to situations that us, there owners, would really struggle to accept , so well done to all .

    Car travel

    One of mine was afraid, just nerves, not car sick . I was advised to do the following and it worked for her . I would just take her to the car, sit with her and not start the car, just for a few minutes and gave her a treat . I then progressed to starting the car with her in it but not moving ...

    Weird aggression

    Hi , first of all , I wouldnt advise you to get another dog , not for a while anyway and definately not until you have dealt with the problems with Dash . At 21 weeks , the aggression isnt likely to be just aggression but more a case of fear . Dogs have the flight or fight instinct, so when they...

    Thats shocking Susan , I do think that some rescues are so desperate that they rehome before fully assessing the dogs, with the resulting problems and trauma .
