    Alabama rot in north wales

    Yea, when people say dont worry its uncommon...well that dosent really put my mind at ease because we dont know how its spread or why one dog becomes ill and others dont. So now its in my area i take extra precautions..i.e wash down legs , look for sores etc more often than normally do. It just...

    9 month old puppy now barking in the night

    Exactly what Sophie said...take your neighbours a bottle of wine...say im very sorry i have a teenager in the house..explain what you are doing and tell them it will get easier soon. Remember EVERY time you give in for a quiet life all you are teaching them is they need to cry/howl/bark longer...

Last year a friend of a friend GSD died after chasing a ball and grabbing it mid air, her poor dog choked on the ball and died in front of her ..that shook me to the core because my dogs love to chase balls but i...

    Seeking behavioural advice and training tips

    Ohh you poor thing..but I just want to hug you for not giving up on this boy have you thought about crate training him?.

    Please help my dog is such a pain in the butt!

    Honestly..whacking your dog is not good. There are a million ways to teach your dog to behave and hitting them is not the way..you have said your self its not working and as a parent of 4 , a fostercarer for over 12 years, with a degree in social work specializing in behaviour management I...

    Raiding the saving for medication!

    I understand any business needs to make a profit..of course they do but when huge profits are made on the suffering of another its not morally right in my opinion. If you have a beloved pet and your vet says they are sick and its going to cost £100 a month to keep them alive..you pay it...
