If anyone can offer any tips on this issue I'm having I'd be very happy! When my poodle was younger she would run after the frisbee and (more often than not) on command bring it back and drop it. However for a few months now she chases after it (ball, frisbee etc) sits down with it, drops it on...

Hi everyone! I have a 1 year old male papillon puppy. He has always been very different ever since he was a puppy and we have grown to believe that he has mild hydrocephalus. The vet said it would be very expensive confirming this, and there isn't much they can do, so just to treat him as a...

We adopted our Alaskan Malamute/husky (alusky) last summer. He has gone through 7 families before and I think I'm starting to see why. He literally only cares about food. He only comes to us to socialise when there is food on the table. I have had a husky before and he was rescued by me and...

I love watching it and learning new ways to train a dog. I managed to get Lady to stop attacking the lounge door whenever someone knocks or rings the front door just by using one of Victoria Steelwell's commands (not sure if I spelt her surname correctly). What is your opinion on the series?

I thought I'd ask everyone here as most of the me members here love dogs. Also, my thread about Lady's eating habits was deleted? Edit: I found the thread about Lady's eating habits, lol
