    New dog pulling on lead - advice please

    His trust will take a bit of time, just keep doing good stuff and plant new fun and games in his brain and the trust will come, the pulling is down to not walking from previous bad owners so keep the training consistent, as he’s a rescue staffie x I’d say watch him for any aggression to dogs and...

    Puppy and upset tummy

    I would of thought a school run would be good practice for the dog to slowly learn from not being with you, I’m so glad I didn’t have any of these issues over the years but then again my dogs was taught to be tough and independent, looking at your dogs eyes it does look a bit challenging and...

    Puppy and upset tummy

    Not the best thing to do I.e. change of food, even thow I did the same to one of mine but he was 5 months, it’s needs to be sorted as pup needs all his food to grow, best of luck.
