A friend of ours has got a new puppy, only a few days ago. She is worried about socialising him given the restrictions that are in place. I don't know the full restriction, but any tips about what she could do? Thought she could take him out for like 5min to the main road (she has a long...

People who use these, what type are the best to stop dogs getting something in their mouth. I see some that look really uncomfortable, but look at stopping the scavenging, but then others more comfy but you could still pick anything up. I am normally very good at keeping my eyes on the ground as...

I am not concerned about this, as I think it is normal. I just wanted to see if anybody had any ideas Honey from an early age has always had her hackles up when she gets excited and wants to play. People have commented on that her hackles are up, given that most encounters I would think with...

With all Vanilla's skin issues, she managed to finally get a deep ear infection. Not what we wanted, but it is what it is. Because of her skin condition, we have a cleaning solution that we have to apply once a week. Has always worked and managed to keep it clean and clear, of course you can...

Well after watching Honey run and her right hind leg going all over the place over the weekend, we decided to have her x-rayed just to see. We took her to the Vet's yesterday to get her injections, so we asked the Vet to have a look. The movement was not there as expected when she felt it, so...

Not sure where this sits, but I somehow seem to have a minor problem that I think will become bigger. It is in two parts to try and give a larger picture. In general they get on well and play well together but at times we have to intervene to stop. This is mainly when we can tell that Vanilla...

We can't put our finger on this one, but Honey will cry only in the morning after we have gone and she has finished her Kong. She gets fairly worked up, walking around the room and it turns into a howls, barks etc. We get up fairly early, and I keep her occupied until it is time for me to go...

I am not 100% sure how to deal with this one or if it even is an issues as such. They play good together and when they have had enough they take a break most of the time. We have to separate them at times, which is easy enough. What I have noticed over the last few days is that Honey will go...

OK we have started to charge the clicker with Honey as we did not want to overwhelm her in the early days and just rather have her settled as much as possible. I have found a minor flaw, no matter where I go in the house or even outside and shut the door, Vanilla seems to come and expect same...

OK we have made a rod for our own back I think. We have done house training and because OH was at home for the first week and a bit and I managed to WFH we managed to train Honey to go to toilet outside very easily and to tell us when she needs to go outside. Great I hear you all say, so what...

Am thinking back on how we trained Vanilla, and we are doing things the same for Honey, apart from trying not to repeat the mistakes we did with Vanilla in the early days. Now I know that you have/should train your dogs separately, which for certain things is easy. You can take them out into...

We have set up an area for Honey within the downstairs bathroom and hall way, that is adjacent to the lounge. There is a baby gate between these two, and Vanilla is in the lounge. Honey could see Vanilla if she sat at one end of the gate. When we are together we spend the time in the actual...

When we got Vanilla it was easy as next door used to come in and help every few hours. She had a baby just before xmas, so she was out of the question. The other daughter of a friend who helped once Vanilla was older, is also unable to help during the week on a consistent basis. She is at Uni...

So we got Honey yesterday late afternoon. Way home was similar to Vanillas, but just handled better this time round. OH had less of a panic when Honey started to cry. Honey settled after a while. Of course the heat did not help at all, but glad Aircon in car was working. That was unfortunately a...

Given that we are getting a new puppy soon by next weekend I realised I need to ask questions before I forget. What/how is the best way to introduce Vanilla and Honey. I have read multiple things of what people think is the best ranging from: Take existing dog for a walk or to a friends house...

Hi Need some advise. Breeder has advised that we can take Honey at 7 weeks. This is due to personal reason as her mum is in hospital, unfortunatly very ill and other personal reasons. Honey is weaned, vet checked microchipped etc. Breeders Vet said all good health. I know normally would...

This is a long post, as I was trying to cover as much as possible and to give an overview. I am not one to normally share things as such, but thought I would share our little journey of itchiness that has at times been a pain in the behind at certain times. We had times where there was...

How do you know if your dog is single household dog or would accept a second one? People have mentioned that their dog is very much a single dog, and could not get a second one even if they wanted to. Then on the other hand people get a second one after a few months/years, and go 'oh bad...

We are looking at changing car and just curious of those that have the above mentioned car what do you do regarding getting dog in and out? I am thinking we would have to look at a ramp as the boot is high and would be mindful of the jumping and the damage it will do on her. Suppose it is a how...
