this does seem a bit unfair of the trainer, my friend had a similar time, where the trainer just got her to stand there with her 'baddog' and the others practised walking past him! Maybe arriving first as cadac says, so he can greet the dogs as they arrive and get it over and done with might...

helloo, jack x pom, i'm guessing small and hairy!! Photo please :)

hiya, it does sound as tho he is worried and just settling in, mine is prone to this type of thing(i'm his 5th owner), he comes to work with me and if we go somewhere new it starts again till he's sure i'm not going to leave him there. He will get used to things and will understand where you...

aaaw well done you! I just saw this had been posted up again, and thought oh no surely she isn't still looking, am so glad you've kept her she looks so sweet. Well done maggie, pat pat from me!

how horrible! I honestly don't understand how people can bear it! Imagine having that little chap in your livingroom and not giving him a brush and a nail-clip. My dog had extremely long nails when i got him, and his toes were very bent, i took me ages to get them down to normal, it just looked...

ohhhhh crikey, poor little sod! That is so unfair! Do you have to remain polite when people bring in a dog like that? Must be so hard to be diplomatic! least they brought him in i suppose....

christ! You'd think people would do something before they got like that! That is just ridiculous, poor wee doggy. I'd be so cross if i saw that! :(

ha eingana! You haven't seen me throw, believe me he has every chance of catching it! I tried frisbee too, he just is not bothered. My friend has a samoyed who is always trying to encourage him to play with her soft toys, you should see the look on his face, he just looks alarmed or even annoyed...

do you think that it is motion sickness causing it, or nerves dya think? You seem to be going about it in the right way, but if he pukes after only quarter of a mile, perhaps even smaller steps first, like just a few metres, or popping him in the car with the engine running, to get used to the...

i agree with tanya, my heart goes out to you all, but it was an unintended accident, and you shouldn't beat yourself up over it. I know how your boy feels, i've tripped over the dog before and he needed stitches, accidents do happen. With tail thing it could have been absolutley anything...

ok, to be fair to whippets and dude (my dog), he's never showed any interest in toys from when i got him aged 6, he will chase a thrown thing about 1 in 10 times, if he is already excited and it has some value to him, like one of his chewing sticks, but a retrieve?? Never. If you throw something...

hi again sorry for that monster post, im a little tipsy, and you caught me on a subject i tend to rant on http://www.ckcsc.org/ckcsc/ckcsc_inc.nsf/Founded-1954/breederquestions.html here's a list of breeder questions, i can't find the one i was looking at the other day which was far more...

there are no checks on who can advertise on these sites. Many people do buy from these sites, and many people ( a few on here) have come home with pups far too young to have left their mums, or poorly or both. Bringing up a litter of puppies well is very very hard work, sleepless nights, piles...

ttt is right the best thing you can do is organise some help with training one way or another. Training classes will be excellent, you will be told how to get your dog to meet and greet others and such things. In the meantime, you want her stop leaping on folk. Is this out and about, or...

aaaaw you sound very kind! It is an odd thing to do to put a backpack on a dog, but i genuinely think they like having a job to do, and it is actually good to give them something they can do, get them involved in things. You may think you are using him like a donkey, but what about all the...

someone will be along soon hopefully with a big detailed post with what tips to try. I would try taking him to a place with a few distractions like a park, on a long-line, and practise lots of recall again there. Tiny baby steps, perhaps a look at me command when he spots something, then reward...

That tigery one is gorgeous, good call barretbabies! Greyhounds love to lie around all day...

do you mean 24hr access to the roof terrace, as in he can go for a pee while you are out? Can't see a real problem with that, as long as you leave him dead tired when you go out, and its not every single day. People do need to work, its just down to the individual dog how well it responds to...

Dude gets; dude, dudey, doodlebug, buggalugs, dudas, dudeface, judas (when he foresakes me for my mum) dufus, nimrod when he won't stop stalking things. And duke, his original name when he's in trouble, or just plain baddog! He also answers(comes) to wendy (bless him), and gets called...

leethomas1988; that made me laugh, how gross! I googled it and you are right, there are loads of boxer owners out there, saying the same thing, apparently it is normal!!! how utterly rank! Now rich_charlotte, what do you think of that?! Better a possibly smelly lab than a green disharge on the...
