Recalling the days when we had "Lady, we are going to walk AROUND the small crisp packet on the path, and it will be ALL RIGHT!"

Poor lamb! How could you do that to him? :giggl: I'm sure all will be fine in time. Well I hope so anyway.

She's lovely! Welcome to the forum!

Not at all - thank you for your kind post - I found it very encouraging. I like the report of the blogger tearing the hair out! I haven't got any left to pull out. All Poppy's foundation training was focussed on being a detection dog. Good around people, bomb proof as far as noise and...

That's a lovely photo.

Thanks guys. Girding my loins and stiffening my upper lip as I type! I'll back pedal a bit and slow everything down. Maybe that's actually needed anyway because Poppy is getting on to be a fully adult Labrador and here I am training her to do stuff that in an ideal world she would have been...

Lovely dog. Fond memories.

I've hit a real setback. Poppy has always been a bit difficult but yesterday was an all time low point and I really don't see it improving anytime soon. I took her out for her afternoon walk as usual and reached the little bridge across the river where I normally let her off the lead having...

Skinners Field and Trial. Also it's VAT free in the working dog variety. We've also used Burns with our last Lab. Poppy was on Royal Canin with the police but it's eye watering expensive.

There seems to be a lot of this about particularly since lockdown and the explosion of people getting dogs and not bothering to take on board dog normal behaviour. Although the couple you describe are obviously not novice dog owners. I've had exactly this problem with Poppy and I feel I can...

I think there must have been something seriously wrong with the Fiat 500 for it to drive like that. Not clear about the gears either - I thought they were all automatic? My present car is a RAV 4 Hybrid and it's lovely to drive and the hybrid thing really works especially in urban or country...

Thank you. Very helpful.

It's typical of government short term ism. They often only look as far forwards as the next election, it seems sometimes.

Grid and local supply must become an issue here in UK as well. I hope the powers that be are putting plans in place.

Yes the "no place to have your own charger" is definitely a problem at the moment. 90% plus of my journeys I should think will be well within the range of the car so getting home and charging there is the answer for me, but if that option's not there, electric cars won't work at the moment I...

Toyota has a deal going at the moment and the car includes a fitted charging point. It's fitted by British Gas which is a bit odd. I have to say the car is lovely to drive. We booked a test drive. The salesman put me straight in the driving seat. "So how do you turn it on? Foot on brake...

One thing that worries me is exactly that. We holiday every year in Cornwall near Stithians. Truro seems to be the best bet but.....

Just got back from Toyota having done the deal on a new all electric car. I mean it's a nice car but common sense has gone out of the window. Pick it up in October. I've convinced myself that the availability of charging stations must improve and the cost of electricity makes it much cheaper...

👍 She seems fine this morning, thanks. The metacam is doing it's stuff, or it's just got better anyway. I'll keep her out of potential tail trouble for a couple of days, but she seems better.
