    Hi all, Really after some advice please on two things: 1. Puppy treats - I'm reading Steve Mann's Easy Peasy Puppy book and getting all geared up (eeek!) for training as soon as he arrives. I just want to know what the best treats are for him please? As obviously he'll be having lots to help...
  3. Dog Training and Behaviour
    Hi all, Before I begin, I'm aware that this situation is my fault and it's not going to be easy to change - please be kind! My dog was happy sleeping in his bed for for the first year I had him (he's 1 year six months), however I became quite unwell around 6 months ago and was having to spend...

  5. Dog Training and Behaviour
    Good evening, I would like some advice. A family member bought a Border Collie during lockdown. Because of this, the dog was not socialised when he was a puppy. He was familiar only with the family member and their partner (that relationship has since broken down so the partner isn't around...
  6. Dog Training and Behaviour
    Hi :) I have a 7 month old puppy and I take her to work with me in an Estate Agents. Customers come into the office which is an open space and my puppy gets excited and will run over to them and jump up wanting attention. I try get her away with treats but this doesn't seem to distract...

    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...
  8. Dog Training and Behaviour
    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...
  9. Dog Training and Behaviour
    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...
  11. Dog Training and Behaviour
    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...
  14. Dog Training and Behaviour
    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...
  15. Dog Training and Behaviour
    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...
  16. Dog Training and Behaviour
    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...
  17. Dog Training and Behaviour
    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...
  20. Dog Training and Behaviour
    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...
