Good grief! I dont have the energy to respond any more! What I see in Robin, I expect most people would not even notice! The little dogs I see leaping all over strangers, and trying to get treats, the little dogs with huge attitude problems attacking other dogs is seemingly 'cute' to many...

Not quite "end of!" She was walking on a narrow towpath where many dogs walk all at once frequently! Her companion was the one with the dog, and don't forget, this was before Robin bounced over to the dog! He was sitting quietly at my side for all the time until he exploded with excitement as...

There was NO reason for his companion to be scared of Robin she is scared of ALL dogs and Robin is big. She was not helping the situation, so that was why I did not just walk on The dog was behind us and the girl was in front 50 metres her companion calling her to come all is fine (it was at...

Yes, the other dog was very happily walking along the towpath off lead - I had Robin On his lead already ( I have 2 leads on him always! slip lead and two fastener chest and back lead) The man saw us and kindly put his dog on a lead I still told him that my dog was NOT alright and will...

Feverfew, I really thank you for your thoughts and comments! I totally agree with them! I will not allow Robin to play with a dog who is rough, showing any signs of bullying or 'top-manship! If they do not take it in turns to chase I divert Robin and put him back on the lead. Robin NEVER...

It's a long story, if you are interested I will try to explain better, but really not worth another thought! No body died and all is in hand thanks :)

Of course I did! :) But my descision was to persist because a, I love my dog! b, I want to sort this out! c, they wanted me to relinquish the dog completely - not a chance! I have just had a lovely chat with the rehomer at the Northern Borzois - finally got hold of her! It was a really...

Thank you, I have been trying for 2 weeks to get a response from the Northern Borzoi Association because he needs to be in a better place for his benefit. I cannot just give him to a rescue, he would be mortified he would benefit from going from me directly to a new home. They don't do that...

Thank you for your comments albeit incorrect! You clearly did not pick up on the fact that I had Robin on a lead! Infact TWO leads on him A slip lead round his neck and a twin clip on his harness, holding breast and back. I also would like to know what your 'owners like me' actually does...

I don't agree, I am no expert, however, I have signficant experience to have made that comment. However, I should perhaps not have put that on this forum, it was definately not meant to upset, purely to confirm recognition of the distress felt.

Ha ha! of course I would have liked to have typed without the error! I am most certainly NOT IRRESPONSIBLE!

Just thought I would mention that my dog Robin crashes into loads of things! So I'm sorry but I totally disagree that it is bullying. I agree about the 'enthusiasm' though! Over excitement kicks in the adrenaline, really hard and too hard for most dogs, They can cope with the first kick in...

I also would suggest Nigel Reed! The Dog Guardian is his book and full of superb information that is sooooo simple! I have managed a lot of changes with Robin in this past week after reading his book! Having had horses for years and years I have a saying ' it is NEVER about the horse!' I...

I can clearly see you are suffering PTSD, I can totally understand, however, please do not lump me in with the irresponsible and even jokey and offensive. I am most certainly irresponsible, I DO hire a field but sadly do not have sufficient funds to do so 3 x a day 7 days a week at £15 per...

JudyN, the Halti do a no pull harness and that seems superb, however, they only go up to large and although I did try it it was clearly not going to go on him! - HOWEVER! rainbow coming! I am speaking with them and hoping they will agree to make one especially for Robin! I'm very excited...

Hi, yes I have a Ruffmaster, also, but it is not the Webmaster which has the third belly strap. I found

I am giving it very serious thought!

All great, sound advise - thank you very much. The shape of the Borzoi skull is such that Halti, and similar styles simply do not fit! I tried a muzzle on him today and it just was no use at all - gonna end up with a blind dog!!! The gentle leader again is not a good shape for them, the...
