    Possessive over ball - Collie/Cocker

    Hi! I’m looking for some tips and training tools that aren’t on YouTube (I have done it all) to re train “drop” when my almost 2 year old Sonny has a ball or now, anything. I taught him drop and he was great at it. Recently he has decided not to give his ball back to me and growls when I hold...

    Pupdate.. The barking and biting...

    Guys, Guess what? The barking at me and nipping the legs has stopped! Doesn't do it at home or when off leash anymore.. at all. All thanks to fetch! He absolutely LOVES his ball and has become obsessed with playing fetch which is magical. I also think doggy day care has helped massively too as...

    Weeing for Attention

    Hi Guys, Our 5 month old puppy hasn’t had accidents in the house for over 2 months now. We have an issue with attention barking (different story)!

    Barking off leash

    Hi. I’ve posted before about this and took into consideration what was said to try and help. I’ve avoided those open spaces as advised and Sonny loves putting his harness and lead on. We have done training on a 30 metre leash and ten metre for recall training, and he’s getting really good. Then...

    Barking and Biting on walks

    Sonny’s recall is okay. Still needs a lot of practicing as he doesn’t come to heel or come back when called every single time. (He’s not even 4 months old so I’m not down about it.) HOWEVER, what’s getting me down is when we are out walking, he will have a personality switch and just start...

    Worming!

    Hi! Question about worms. Sonny was wormed when we picked him and was pooing out dead ones for a week or so. He got wormed again yesterday, 4 weeks after the last dose, and more worms came out this morning. Does the mean he has had worms for the last 4 weeks and they have been alive? Or does...

    Barking and biting during play

    Hey Guys. Few random questions here. Sonny is 12 weeks old now. Recently he’s been barking at me a lot and snapping his jaws while playing on the floor with toys. I don’t even have any in my hands and he just gets in the pounce position and barks and snaps. Is this aggressive or is he telling...
