    Have I done the right thing?

    Huge respect to you. You haven’t had an easy time of it by any means but you seem to be pulling through. Taking on a new life and responsibility within just twelve months of trauma and loss was a brave step. You have a happier dog that appears to be settling. If she’s happy and secure in her...

    18 week whippet puppy

    Congratulations, you’ve got a wonderful companion who, in time, will be a very gentle chap. I echo previous comments - you seem to have it taped with regard to over accommodating zealous play biting and jumping. It’s more to do with bringing others into the training zone. It’s not the dog -...

    Taking a puppy out

    Could it be that it’s the jingle of the clip on the lead when attached to the collar that may be contributing to her angst? Could be that it’s that simple. Hope her confidence improves.

    Wind

    Yes indeed. I should have added that we haven’t changed her diet so it’s all down to the sachets.

    Wind

    In an attempt to curb the pungency of Mabel’s gaseous emissions I obtained seven 1g sample sachets of Purina Proplan Fortiflora Canine Probiotic. I’ve scattered a sachet daily on her breakfast and, so far, it has worked. However, the ingredients of the powder aren’t detailed - not that I’d be...

    Talking Pictures channel - “Out of Town” - Lurchers

    Not able to access the channel? A shame. Actually, it does have the odd decent programme. The “Maigret” series with Bruno Cremer - the French 🇫🇷 dialogue is slow enough not to necessitate sub titles. Back to the “Out of Town” programme, it dealt with the cross breeding of pure sighthounds with...

    Talking Pictures channel - “Out of Town” - Lurchers

    This is for those who may be lucky enough to have a TV catch up facility for the Talking Pictures channel (freeview 82). On Sunday (8th September) I caught the “Out of Town” programme which featured lurchers and other sighthounds (gaze hounds). Really interesting and informative and would be...

    Anxiety / reactivity - advice please!

    That IS progress. A milestone within a matter of months. Patience and reassurance will get you there.

    Whippet with shoulder injury.

    Mabel, our rescue whippet, was limping on her left foreleg. This was caused by her sudden turns. She was treated by a chiropractor for about four sessions - not cheap but she’s made amazing progress. I kept Mabel on the lead for walks and, upon returning home, placed a bag of frozen peas right...

    That’s great news.

    How to judge end of life

    I’m so sorry and can empathise with the heartbreak. You took that step to end Tyson’s discomfort. He would have thanked you. As I’ve said before, it comes with the territory. Thoughts with you.

    Tv police dog trainer.

    Was it “The Dog Academy”? Didn’t think it was the ‘90s. Perhaps a bit later but I could be wrong - no longer a spring chicken.

    Dog friendly enquiry near Bath.

    Apart from those already described in the Forum, can anybody recommend an ‘upmarket’ dog friendly eating establishment near Bath where some friends (plus) whippet could meet for a lunch?
