My heart goes out to you and your poorly puppy. After reading all the comments/reply's it is obvious that your poor pup was born with a problem of some sort which the breeder should have had checked out by a vet before selling the pup on to you. I know by me saying that it is of no help to you...
I can understand a dog being frightened of air being sprayed in their face, I've not heard of that spray but why would anyone do that it's cruel....I wouldn't do anything that I thought would frightened my boy and certainly would never punish him in any way no matter what he does....it is an on...
I didn't understand what was meant by Dogs groomed like wild animals until I watched the video.....all those poor dogs look ridiculous and I think it's quite cruel...dogs don't have a say in the matter. I'm sure if they have the choice they wouldn't want to be painted and preened to look so...
Not quite sure why you think by using the spray my dog would become frightened of me, it is no different than saying "shoosh", it's exactly the same sound. My dog was not frightened by the spray at all, what it did was distract him from the visitors. When I used it he would look round at me and...
Hi Judy, thank you for your reply. I have met so many people with working cockers that didn't even know there was a show type and they automatically say "O so you show him" but know I don't. My dog was one of 6 pups, three girls all blue roan and the three boys orange roan. I spent 18 months...
I have an Orange Roan Show type Cocker Spaniel, I've had him from 12 weeks, he is now 5 years. I used to live in London and walked him every day over Hampstead Heath were we would meet hundreds of dogs all sizes and breeds but only even met one like mine. I now live in a village in Hampshire and...
I don't consider using correction spay a punishment. I met a dog behaviourist while out walking my dog and he commented on how well behaved my dog was and that his recall was excellent,( I use a whistle). I told him my boy was very good but just always got over excited with visitors and no...
I had the same problem with my cocker spaniel, over friendly with visitors jumping up and getting excited. The only thing that I found that actually worked was " Correction spray" for the little that it cost's it's worth trying.
crikey it sounds like a military manoeuvre lol you don't realise how much stuff you need for your dog when traveling. what breeds are your dogs?....I would definitely add gel cooling mats to your list and a doggy antiseptic cream/lotion and of course dog grooming/bathing products eg brush/comb &...
I have a cocker spaniel who I adore and if another dog harmed him I would be mortified. Personally I would have the Kokoni rehomed before he goes too far and you end up losing your poor Cocker. I would also be terrified about having children around the Kokoni too. It sounds like he needs a home...
Thank you for your comment. It is not only the dreadful unnecessary way in which my poor boy was completely shaved I'm angry about but the trauma of being locked in a cage, there was absolutely no need to do that. He is still not himself. I told the groomer exactly how I wanted him groomed and...
Hi Terry, thank you so much for your advice. Brushing/combing has never a problem for me doing it as I have always done it regularly since he was a young puppy same as cleaning his teeth and ears, he is happy for me to do it all. I used to feel confident clipping his nails when he was young as...
Hi Terry I wish more people would take note of what you have said regarding mating lager male breeds to small ones like little Yorkies. Believe it or not my brother had a strange looking dog years ago which was a cross between a F Patterdale & Male Doberman. The origin owner so called breeder...
That is exactly how I felt about my previous groomer, we miss her so much but as we moved from London to Hampshire last year it would be a 6-7 hour round trip.
