    Third-party insurance

    Here in NL everyone has a family 3rd party insurance. It covers children and pets.. my neighbours son burnt down a barn ,,, all paid by the insurance.. It only costs a few pounds but the peace of mind is well worth it.

    Diet change

    When Murphy was very young we tried raw and he was sick so we gave up for a while..We tried steamed lamb heart which he ate with gusto but when his allegies got really daft we tried raw again and this time he stuck with it.. Im so glad because his allergies are now minimal..

    Why reward based training is best

    Im glad people are finally letting go of the whole dominance alpha male rubbish..

    Head collars

    I agree go to a good pet shop and find one that fits well. Dont just go by the advice on the packaging. We used one for a little while with our BC because he had never been on a lead and would tug like a train I was ill at the time and I didnt have the strength to hold him on a normal lead so...

    Advice re park walking

    @JoanneF Mine are on lead so if I used the alarm it would only be to scare loose dogs into leaving us alone. To be honest its the lesser of two evils if things get heated.
