They don't ban irresponsible drinkers. I guarantee more problems are caused by drunken behaviour than by dogs. Dogs don't vomit in the toilets, take drugs or cause fights. Inside I understand but outside there is no valid reason.

Luckily we have a secure dog walking field nearby. This is where he was socialised and also learned recall. Walking to heel and wait before crossing the road was done whilst walking to the field. He will sit on command and stay. He was almost six months when I got him and very willing to learn...

Dudley was also too old for puppy class at six months. The next class was dreadful, we were both unhappy with it and only went three times. Taught him myself, luckily it worked. He was willing to learn and I got lots of help from other dog walkers.

We do have several dog friendly pubs where I live. We are away in Yorkshire at the moment and walking past a Wetherspoons pub saw the large notice about the Dog ban. There are very many pubs which welcome dogs. The Wetherspoons ban seems over the top because it includes the garden

Wetherspoons have banned dogs from all their pubs, including the gardens. Apparently because some children are afraid of dogs and they want to encourage young families coming for lunch. As my dog is generally much better behaved than most children I find this absolutely ridiculous.

A nice walk in Yorkshire. Dudley was extremely well behaved. The husband complained a lot. Just a short(for me and Dudley) four mile walk

Dudley was quite happy downstairs. No problem at all. After I came out of hospital my husband used to let him up in the mornings. I loved cuddling him in bed so much so that he now sleeps all night with me. Like others have said, I know he is clean, worked and defleaed regularly. So why not...

He is gorgeous

This is very difficult for The poor owner. If the breeder had the puppy back he would probably sell it on, or even have it euthanized. Neither of which would be good for the pup or the present owner. Hopefully the breeder will offer to cover the vets bill. This little one needs love which...

I don't. I occasionally remember he is a dog and as such has no idea what birthdays and Christmas means.

Dudley is well socialised and we are lucky to have an enclosed field which welcomes dog walkers. However yesterday he met my youngest granddaughters 12 week old puppy for the first time. He growled at her, batted her with his paw and then sat on my knee and kept growling every time she came...

My groomer has recently had a letter like this from the council. She has permission to run the grooming parlour from her premises but apparently makes no difference. She only works the allowed hours 9-5, Saturday mornings only and no Sundays. This is causing her great distress, if client...

First the bowel problem. Just a suggestion but my friend collie had the same. He was diagnosed after a year with B12 deficiency and started on B12 injections which he now has monthly, these are for life. He is also having raw food. He still gets episodes but not so often. He is not an...

The collie I visit daily used to do this with the smaller dogs on the field. Four fluffy white ones. He is three now and will still try to round them up. He also does the watching bit very alert but very still until he can gather them together. They all treat it as a game I was intrigued...

I don't really know about dogs but retained placenta stops the uterus contracting. Can be very dangerous and bleeding into the tissues and sepsis is A real risk

Thank you everyone for advice. I put a light bandage on last night so he didn't lick it. Has gone sort of brown instead of red this morning. Vet not open today Bank Holiday but will take him tomorrow. He doesn't make any attempt to take the bandage off just sulks big time

Just a bit of advice please. Dudley has a small spot on his front leg. He has been continually licking it and is making it sore. I have been cleaning it, there is no oozing but I am having trouble stopping him licking. Should I trim the fur around it or just leave it? When I say little, on a...

I hadn't thought of raw chicken. I understand he can eat the bones without any harm if they are raw

Having struggled to find ethical wet food I have been feeding Dudley fish and chicken, although not at the same time. This is a topper on his Canagan kibble. Do I need to give him any supplements? If so what is the best? I cook both the fish and the chicken and freeze it in daily portions...

Not quite the same I know but there are a couple old midwives tricks that are tried and tested on babies One is breastmilk in the eye, not practical I know. The other which is also recommended by doctors for sticky eyes in babies is baby shampoo. That really does work, but whether it would...
