Strange how every time e-collars are criticised on any forum a brand-new members pops up and defends them :wacko:
I wouldn't use either a prong collar or an e-collar on any dog in any circumstances. Dogs can be trained by positive reinforcement alone, it's rubbish to say they can't. Guide...
You need experienced help from a good behaviourist or trainer, and one who uses proper up to date methods. I don't think anyone can give you proper advice in a case like this without seeing the dog and his behaviour first hand. Most dogs with aggression problems are actually fearful, not...
I'm so sorry you lost your girl so tragically :(
I suspect that Monty would appreciate another confident companion, and I would personally look for an adult rescue rather than a pup - but it would need to be the right dog.
Many dogs come into rescue directly from owners who can no longer...
She does sound very scared, has she always been like this with other dogs or is this a new behaviour? Has anything happened that might have triggered it?
Ideally she needs some gentle, unpressured socialisation. An understanding training class would be good as suggested, but also do you have...
I agree absolutely with the advice above. Telling him off after the event won't help, it will just make him more anxious and more likely to have accidents. Either continue allowing him on your bed or use a metal crate.
When do you feed him? It might also be worth considering changing his...
You are now allowed to release captured or rescued grey squirrels if you have a license to do so - which the RSPCA has according to this article:

However they are considered vermin in many areas and of course are a threat to our...
Cropping ears has been illegal here for ages so the dog must have either been done illegally (it still happens) or be an import. No dog with cropped ears can be shown at any KC licensed event.
I agree, I hate the look of cropped ears in any breed, but it's still very popular in the US and many...
The RSPCA can only act if people are breaking the law, breeding a bitch every season isn't illegal.
I have my own gripes with the RSPCA, but unless there is proof of abuse or neglect there is nothing they can do.
Sadly there are thousands of dogs being kept in poor conditions , or bitches...
It's a difficult one - I don't feel that highlighting an advert for a dog in a dangerous situation is the same as advertising your own dog or pups for sale, but I can see it makes it difficult for the moderators to enforce the rules, and of course respect that decision.
I have worried in the...
Goodness, I can't believe it was a whole year ago, where has time gone?
Molly touched so many hearts, it's wonderful to see her looking so well and happy :wub:
Lucy is a gentle 10 year old Greyhound girl who originally came into Oldies Club care in 2008 after being found as a stray in the north east of England. Lucy quickly found a home, but her owners’ personal circumstances have changed and this sadly means that Lucy needs to find a home once again...
