I am so very sad for you and Cooper. But what a lucky doggie he was to have you in his life How lucky you were to have him in your life! I believe that lives are only on loan to us on this plane. We are given the opportunity to be guardians for other lives, which I consider to be an honour...

Oh NO, poor Miles and poor you guys you must have been as mortified as he was! Always a worry when people cannot control their own dogs, I hope it will all be soon forgotten and no lasting traumas for him!

What ever you choose, go for nature and take note of thee innate characterisitics of the breed. Any introduction will be down to you!! It is NEVER about the animals. If you have everything undercontrol a situation where things CANNOT go wrong, that is a good start! I might suggest that if...

Think of you every time he jumps up (amidst my under breath curses!) LOL

Oh JudyN has been wonderful with her advise and experiences for sure! :)

Thanks, useful advise, I will certainly try that one! :)

Ok, so today Robin and I went for our usual quick walk in the morning. He flipped his lid THREE times! On each occasion, jumping up and even caught my eye! He proceeded to grab at the lead and extension (horse long line rope) tugging madly and dragged me and him right into the road and...

TBH, it is NOT in the breeders favour to breed longevity in something is it! I agree that it is possible to elongate their life span, after all people once thought horses only lived to be 15! Now they are found happily working at the ripe old age of 50!!!!

I guess, the honest answer would be - without seeing what is going on exactly i.e. eye contact, areas of body/emotional tension, and when exactly they occur and to what , it is going to be very difficult for anyone to answer your question. You will get some very good broad based ideas and some...

This worries me every day! Robin is dreadful for leaping on all sorts of rubbish and I just can't stop him!

Peace and calm, slow and correct - will win the day!

PS - what Hemlock says! :)

Oh dear! :( bless you! I have exactly the same problem! Robin had the most horrific 10.5 hour journey home, and then I had car problems and back and forth with loan cars that I was not allowed to put dogs in! He is now confident after a few sessions in and out, in wait and out, in lay down...

Robin will wake early on VERY rare occasions. I have spent the night at his side downstairs x 2 in the past 4 months we have been together, he would not settle so I assumed he was either not very well, or not happy. This was fine he slept on both occasions and the following night was no...

Merlina, I loved this! Mine has just worked his way through my ANTIQUE curtains! Arrrhhhhhh! Like you suggested here - request leave and replace with 'cheaper' item! LOL

As I said before, it is great you have joined this site. I really doubt that any of us are perfect, just struggling along using the knowledge we have today - which is different from yesterday, and likely to be different tomorrow! The main thing is to have the welfare of our 'charges' at the...

Perhaps a week (or an hour!) with my puppy might help you!!!!!! Calm, slow,kind, gentle!!!!!!! Listen to the advice you are give here, they are very kind, and wise dog owners, thank goodness you found this site! Good luck and have fun on your journey of learning! :)
