Hi, I recently got an Alsatian x Lab puppy. She is just over 8 weeks old and has moved in to my home with myself, my partner, and our cat (2 and a half years old.) So far, things are going okay. She is settling in and responding to basic commands like sit and come. (When she wants to.) She is...

Any tips on how to get a golden retriever to bring the ball back? He loves playing fetch but as soon as he gets the ball he loses interest in it, drops it and waits until I pick it up and throw it again. Or keeps hold of it and wants me to chase after him to get it.

Hello, I have a now 11 week old whippet puppy who has been with us for 9 days. For the last 5 days I have been on my own with him while my partner has been away for some training (I don’t work from home but I have had annual leave this week). I was just wondering how I can teach my puppy to be...

Hi Rosie and I have just joined this group. Rosie is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and I am a human. She has recently become an only dog as we lost both of her grand parents last year. One at 13yrs and the other at 15yrs. She is coping very well with these losses better than I am. She has...

Hi all Newbie on the site, but hoping the wealth of members experience can help me solve a small problem... My dog is a young JRT cross from a rescue centre and thus far she's shown great aptitude for training. The trouble is now that she's second-guessing and jumping the gun before a clear...
