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

First, please could I direct you to this thread - What exactly does my daughter see? Is it normal to be scared of the dog like she is? The links in the thread display differently. Can anyone tell me why? When you look at the screenshot, they appear to have exactly the same format.

We went into a pet shop earlier to buy Timber some treats, and they were giving away Valentine's bandanas.

For ages, I've been frustrated that I couldn't find a spillproof travel bowl (like the Road Refresher) in stainless steel. I prefer not to use plastic. I know others say the same, although I can't remember if I've had this particular discussion here. Anyway, if anyone else does feel the same...

I've just read Karen Pryor passed away yesterday. She was the clicker trainer, and 101 Things to do with a cardboard box. Karen Pryor

I'm posting this as part of a set of helpful 'easy reference' articles for common questions and problems. Feel free to add additional information on loose lead walking in this thread, but please start a new thread for specific questions relating to your dog. Lead manners We've probably all...

We have been on a long holiday - with Timber - but he isn't the most confident dog in new places. But today we visited a beach. He has been here before and we love the beach at home. And he was super happy. Running around, engaging appropriately with other dogs, checking in with us - he had a...

This morning I received an unsolicited PM from a new member, who considers me a responsible type of person and would like to connect with me as a friend to share and discuss something very important with me. I think not. However, please be very wary of anyone making contact like this, there's...

Judy and I have been discussing this over the last few days and, with Josie's agreement, we have decided to make our position on the use of aversives clearer. Judy has tweaked the forum rules to reflect this ethos, and I've written a thread explaining why we feel aversive tools and techniques...

As a forum, our position is that there is no place for aversive tools and techniques in dog training. In this reference guide, we explain the reasons why. What are aversives? Aversives are basically anything that a dog finds to be unpleasant and will therefore try to avoid. It's important to...

What a great vet we saw today. To keep T's European Pet Passport valid, rabies boosters must be done in the EU, not the UK. So he was booked to see someone in Spain today. The vet could, quite legitimately, have just given him the booster and signed the paperwork. But, as well as that he gave...

I think I've mentioned, I have a couple of crows that follow me around on our walk. Today, half a dozen crows in the garden (which may or may not have included my familiars) were shouting at a cat on my garden wall and chased it away. I always chase cats out of the garden, not because I dislike...

All good. The knees don't have cramp. (BTW, Mr F's knees)

Mr F was ranting earlier because the TV programme he wanted to see wasn't on (women's cricket, don't even go there). Just now, he tried to work out why he wasn't able to get the News. That would be because he was looking at last week's TV guide (dinosaur). So that explains the cricket - he is...

You will be getting messages that they want to use your data to ”train” their AI. If you don't want them to do that, it's very simple to opt out. There will be a link in the emails to the ”right to object” page, where you can then complete the short form (your country and email address) then a...

We are on holiday and due to return home in a few days. To comply with re-entry requirements, T has to have a tapeworm treatment and his passport signed by a vet. In the past, we have paid anything between about €30 and €50. This morning we were charged €5.94. I can hardly believe it!

I just saw this on the BBC breakfast programme, it's a heartwarming story after this poor dog's legs were deliberately cut off as a punishment for chewing his owner's shoes. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-humber-68502421

Just curious really - you know that bone in a chicken leg that's really thin and sharp like a needle - has anyone ever been concerned about feeding that? How do your dogs manage with it?
