I'm glad it went well :-)

Yep, lovely photo! It looks like the bad link that came up is something you only get before you set up your avatar for the first time which is why I couldn't find it - I'll report it to admin.

Yes, I get the same when I click on that link in your post, so something's not right. I can't find that text at the bottom of any page though - is it from within your profile details, or elsewhere? I should have asked, are you on laptop or phone/tablet? There may also be a limitation that you...

Click on the default avatar at the very top left-hand side of the forum (in the photo below, just above the balloons). When I do that, I get the pop-up in the photo below. Can you get that far and if so, at what point do you get the message?

I would take her for a walk every evening and give her plenty of praise and reward when she poos and/or wees on the walk.

You could also try cutting down on possible allergens within the home - maybe use hypoallergenic washing powder/liquid on bedding or any other fabrics he lies on. And if you use anything like Febreze, carpet cleaner, upholstery cleaner, air freshener, etc., then I'd stop. Maybe even consider...

Ooh, I meant to check whether it was one from my photoshoot! :emoji_blush:

Yeah, but anxiety can make dogs (and people) a bit more hyper. Of course, I can't see your dog and you know him well, so use your own jusgment - but assuming there is an element of anxiety and trying to make his environment a little calmer is safer than assuming there isn't. I wonder if you...

Have you tried taking her for a walk immediately before bedtime?

A word on cues... It doesn’t matter to the dog what word you use, but you don’t want to use a word that he hears often in other contexts. Don’t use his name – for one thing, ‘Fido!’ will be used in all sorts of contexts, and he doesn’t know when it means ‘come here’. If someone shouted ‘Judy!’...

I'm posting this as part of a set of helpful 'easy reference' articles for common questions and problems. Feel free to add additional information on recall in this thread but please start a new thread for specific questions relating to your dog. Note that this article is spread over two posts...

I've asked Mr N to get that one printed onto a canvas for me as a Christmas present :)

I wonder if he's feeling anxious? Testosterone helps a dog feel confident, so the drop of testosterone could be making him more stressed. Do what you can to keep him calm - maybe avoid other dogs on walks in case they make him more nervous now he's a bit less 'macho'. Make sure he has a lot of...

Whatever happened, I hope all is OK, mindjamjo.

Oh I'm so sorry, when you lose a dog it really is incredibly painful. But many here do understand what you're going through. Be kind to yourself. It's common to feel physically ill when you lose a dog - you know when you've had flu and feel like you've been struck by a truck? Allow yourself to...

I stumbled across some photos taken (by someone else) of Jasper on a Southern Lurcher Rescue lurcher walk back in 2010, when he was coming up to 2 years old. He was a complete hooligan back then, but so loved these walks - he was absolutely in his element. One you'll recognise as my avatar, but...

What food is she on at the moment, and how much are you feeding her a day? Could the weight issue be because of 'extras' such as treats and rewards? Would it be possible to up her exercise rather than cut down her food further - maybe set up a little 'dog agility' course in the house? If she...

What is his 'leave' training like? Are you able to keep an eagle eye out for things he might see so you can shorten his lead such that he can't get to them? If you can get him to a point where you can say 'leave' the moment he spots something that he can't get to anyway, that could give him a...

Woofandpup, could you please advertise your business in the appropriate section on the forum rather than in the main forum? Here's the link you need: Dog Friendly Directory Note that I've deleted your other posts are they were verging on being spam.
