Went to the woods again yesterday. I've got Covid but needed to get out in a safe place without too many people! So a cloudy, slightly drizzly walk in the woods where we can avoid people and dogs if we see them was the plan. Lots of sniffing at the start, but then he managed to get a bit of...

Hi! I have an 8 month old cockapoo and been doing lots of training since young. Really keen to have a well trained dog and enjoy the training too. One part I am slightly stuck on is really having a solid re-call. He is brilliant off the lead. Never goes to far, always come back. However, can...

Hi everyone, My partner and I recently got a border collie puppy, he's now 11 weeks old, so isn't ready to go out due to only just having his second Jab. We have tried to keep him excercised at home and in our garden and keep him mentally stimulated. We have used a huge variety of different...

My two dogs four year old male springer spaniel cross collie and new female seven month old border collie cross staffy love to play tug of war with their toys. It never gets aggressive although there is a lot of growling and shaking the toy when they get into it. Both of them respond to the...

Hello my Belgian malinois x German Shepard 10 month old puppy is refusing to learn to heel whilst on walks. We adopted chaos when he was 7 months old and he is an extremely intelligent boy who has learnt a lot of commands not just by the word but hand gestures too so we can silently get him to...

I have a really well behaved four year old springer spaniel cross border collie mix. Guinness doesn't have a crate any longer and sleeps loose in the sitting room. Yesterday I brought home a seven month old female border collie cross staffy. Both dogs have took to each other instantly and get...

Hi, I’m an over thinking, serial googler, anxious worrier, self blamer. We have a 17 month male staffy and a 8 month baby boy. We have had dogs all of our adult lives including a female staffy previously. I am on Mat leave and have been since staffy was 6 months ish. I have worked on basic...

We've had our BC, Pal, since he was 9 weeks old - he's now 8 months (still intact) and we're really struggling with him and my partner is strongly considering rehoming, though even thinking about it breaks my heart and makes me cry. As a quick summary, our issues with him at the moment are...

Hi all, My 8 month old girl is a basset hound x cocker spaniel and is generally an absolute dream, however in the last month she has started picking up everything off the floor on a walk and I don’t know how to stop her. Obviously she is a scent hound so is very good at sniffing out food...

Hi, my dog is not allowed on the sofa at home, not because of dirt issues but because she can reach the desk, and if he is let on she will not go in her crate at night. However we have had to block him access to it to stop him jumping up. We have created a 'settle' space for him to go instead of...

Hello, Our dog who is more than a year old bites all the time, quite hard and aggressively. He does this when we put the harness on, when resource guarding, and when washing paws. Also I believe this is part of guarding but when we open drawers etc , he tries to get objects such as packets from...

Hey! I am new here, but wanted to share this very useful thing. I am used to train only dogs, not even cats. But I dont have time for a dog, so I got 2 rat girls. One of them is very agile and active, the other one is little bit chunky, little bit bitey and loves to eat, not move. I always had...

I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix (I think that's his mix, he was rescued from the side of a road) who is having issues acclimating to a new kitten. He doesn't have much training beyond some basic leave-it and stay commands that I've worked with him on. The main problem at this moment...

I have a male miniature dachshund called Ozzy that is 16 months old. He's really well trained I believe and when we go on walks he's never really fussed by any other dogs. I took him to a day care throughout his first 9 months and I think that helped a lot with his understanding of other dogs...

Hello everyone, I here to help people reach their goals on how to become successful for there pet dog. I’m excited to be here in this community and looking forward to learning myself.

Hey all, I have a 7 month old Labrador Retriever who is as good as gold normally. Good on walks, well behaved around other dogs (albeit a bit annoying), and good with people too. Over the last 2 months I'd say, he's been excellent at staying asleep all night and not waking us up for any reason...

Hello everyone, My GSD turned 1 this month and she really is the sweetest dog ever. She's so happy and cuddly and, at 1, a real handful. She does know her tricks, has access to a big garden, walks and a 6 acre field on an almost daily basis. Regular meals and limited treats. I wouldn't say...

I have a 5 month old lakeland terrier crossed with a miniature poodle puppy. She loves playing with other dogs and attends obedience classes once a week as well as puppy day care. While at daycare the staff have told me she plays with the other dogs the whole time and is really happy. When on...

Hi everyone, I was hoping i could find some help here as I am completely lost at the moment. Before anyone says anything, I do have a vet appointment booked for tomorrow to also see if Snowball has any health issues. So we got our kitten 2 weeks back. He is 13 weeks old at the moment. We just...

Hello! I have a 2 year old border collie named Casey. I bought her at 10 weeks old from a farm and she’s lived with me and my partner ever since. She absolutely adores my husband and practically can’t live without him, she cries when he comes home from work, if me and hubby are cuddling she’ll...
