Serving food is no reason not to allow dogs (unless you live in the one county in England which has a local byelaw preventing it) I've forced many a publican to eat their words after being snotty with me for even asking, insisting they admit it is 'a management decision' I do like to round off...

do look for a behaviourist rather than a trainer If anybody mentions alpha dogs or rolling your dog, walk away. This sounds far more like fear aggression than dominance aggression, so you could make things far worse if you set off on the wrong path One person particularly good with assorted...

If anybody makes a pan of Scouse, it is absolutely imperative that the beagle gets some... something which became ingrained whilst staying with my mum :rolleyes:

One thing you'll learn owning a dog is that everybody has conflicting advice, so you need to pick what suits you and your dog ;) It sounds like you're doing the right things already. Waiting until he's quiet to let him out is exactly the right thing to do With our pup, he went out at 10 and...

Too ill to tackle the throngs of Christmas shopping. Needed some fresh air so took the hound for a trot with our 2yr old and her bike to the local park for a bit Hot choc and butties when we got back, and I'm tucked up in bed again. I hope H doesn't have another night like last. I'd just fallen...

If your vet says it's okay, could you try moving her morning meal to later? I have a problem with my beagle hoovering up food on walks, particularly near chip shops at tea time, but a Halti head collar is a fantastic cure for that. A friend resorted to a Baskerville muzzle to prevent scrounging...

Hi Peaches! Welcome aboard :) You know we're going to ask to see pics, don't you ;)

I do understand your concerns, and particularly wrt disturbing your neighbours too, and it is all the more difficult to tackle when you're suffering from lack of sleep yourself :( Vets aren't usually behaviourists, and it sounds like he hasn't discussed the scope of your problem with you. If...

On holiday :D

you do know it's advisable to change food gradually so as not to upset their tummy? Especially moving from dry to wet I hope he's a happy dog now, and doesn't give you any more food worries :)

Hi Mad Basset Woman :) Nice to see the pics of your pack We'd been hoping to see you this week, but I've been laid up with germs :(

Beautiful hounds :) Look at Gorge, looking like butter wouldn't melt :D

Yes, Adaptil is the kind of thing I referred to - there are a couple of different brands which seem to suit different dogs differently A citronella collar is indeed unpleasant - that is how it works. It teaches your dog that something unpleasant will happen if he barks. If it was pleasant it...

oh no :( migrane is horrid :( I hope you're all better now :)

Hi Mandy, and welcome to DogForum :) A little more detail would be useful in looking at your problem. Have you tried to identify what may be disturbing him during the night? You say you've recently moved house. Do you still live in the same area? Was he barking throughout the summer? I'm...

It's completey mad that by law a dog killed on a motorway or other under control of the highways agency must be scanned, but a dog which meets its demise on a road in one of our towns isn't covered by the same legislation

Many of us like to round off a good day out with the dog/s with either a decent pint or a lovely meal, but finding places to take our furry friends isn't always easy Which is your favourite dog pub, and what makes it special?
