Apologies for getting her gender wrong. Please do let us know how you get on.

Someone I know found her dog's allergies improved using colostrum. If it's contact allergy on his paws, would he wear boots?

When my dog had an ear infection, the antibiotic given had to be administered a second time - I was told that at the first treatment. The vet took a sample at the week three point, to try to grow a culture, nothing grew so that confirmed the bacteria had in fact been killed off by the...

I do love your photos, you capture the moments so well.

I've no idea how good it is, but might be worth a look, since it's free. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JFFZHZG?smid=A1G3UP32AZJ14F

I'm not sure whether any of our members will have that knowledge, as it's more to do with business law than with pets. You never know, though, perhaps someone will have had similar experience. In any case, I hope your daughter's business is successful and if we can offer any advice on dogs...

If you think it might help to speak with a pet bereavement counsellor, there are details here. https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-loss-support

I don't think it's so much about building trust, as him learning that she is listening to him. IDK, perhaps that boils down to the same thing? Anyway, I'd definitely continue with her doing this, and as I can't see any reason for her to need to pet him or touch him, keep doing it for as long as...

Is there a good reason why she should need to touch him or cuddle him? I'd put money in him having given more subtle signals that he is unhappy with her touching him, but she hasn't seen them. That isn't a criticism, they can be very subtle. Or, at least, subtle to us; however your dog probably...

My condolences, it's the hardest thing but she is at peace now.

I just wanted to add my agreement with the others. Sadly, her condition is only going to get worse, better to let her go before she deteriorates further.

The Jack Russell was robbed! :D

Is the problem with grains more about gluten though? As I understand it, when dogs evolved from the common ancestor they had with wolves, dogs developed the enzyme that allows them to digest gluten; albeit not necessarily well - so a lot of dogs still struggle with it. Wolves didn't. But rice...

I'd agree that the moment he barks in the garden, you bring him in. It won't take long for him to realise that barking = end of garden time, provided you do it immediately and consistently; every time. In the house, I'd block access to windows, or you can buy opaque film to cover the windows...

If you read through, it seems the situation did indeed improve over time. For future reference, you can see a little date stamp at the top of each post.

We have found taking a screenshot, and loading that, sometimes works.

Hello and welcome, I'm in Scotland too.

Good luck with your move. Please let us know how it all goes. I was a little south of Valencia last year when the flooding happened, but we had to drive back through the area a few weeks later. It must have been utterly terrifying, I really felt for those poor souls caught in it, or affected by it.

Welcome to the forum. Dog snatching from dogs on a walk is quite unusual. Not to say it never happens, but unless your dogs are valuable or you are walking in some very dodgy places, it's not something to let stop you walking them. Having your dogs neutered can help too, as they are of no use...

Sometimes dogs fight because they feel intimidated, so it's based in fear. The theory of not neutering is to leave him with as much of his 'brave' testosterone hormone as possible. And neutering the younger one may help get rid of some of his bolshy braveness, if that could be a trigger.
