Just wondering how much exercise people do with their dogs? We are still restricted due to age (nearly 6 months now! Which in my head is the magic number for all sleep issues to miraculously disappear ?) Weirdly the breeder does the exercise in blocks of 2... so I thought it was 5 minutes per...

This isn’t a smug post, frankly my version of puppy raising appears to be shocking ?. So tomorrow Mas goes back to the breeders for 2 weeks so we can go on Holiday. As assumed the house is chaos, suitcases everywhere etc. Recall is the one thing we have (at the moment) solid, we have a...

I’ve always thought of ‘tricks’ as being things that are novelty.. my trainer however insists that tricks are anything that your dog does on command, such as sit etc. I’ve taught quite a few ‘tricks’ but I like to have one that I’m working on and a few that I’m reinforcing... so thought I...

Had such a lovely day! Mas was amazing in the water - just swam off like a demon (how typical of him ??)

Just for fun! Who wants to play a game? We post a picture of our dogs and the person that comments puts in a caption for the dog... then posts their own photo!

So.. I hope I’m not alone in going ‘oh yeah we have cracked that’.. and then moving on.. forgetting to reinforce it. Our current targets are: 1. Stop making my ears bleed by barking like a banshee every time your not having 100% of my attention/Relaxation aka chill the f*ck out. 2. Pulling on...

Just thinking that I’m sure (with the exception of the hoarders... cough, you know who you are.... ?) we all have stuff that our dogs aren’t into or that they have grown out of... was wondering if it was worth setting up a swap shop? Or even a gift shop? I’ve got a brown leather lead...

I don’t talk about Leo so much on here because he is just... Leo, amazingly well behaved, if he misses a walk he doesn’t even notice... wouldn’t dream of demanding a cuddle but loves when it’s offered Leo. I got Leo from a farm when my son (who is now 12) was 9 months old.. he was 12 weeks, no...

My trainer has recommended I do this with Mas as he is constantly waiting for a command. He’s not (can’t believe I’m saying this!) naughty (well other than the jumping out of the windows etc) he’s just got to be busy - at school this is fine as frankly there’s is always something to do but as we...

This isn’t a massive issue but I just want to check that I’m doing it right really. At home Mas rarely barks. He doesn’t bark at the door etc (we aren’t including the barking at night :ROFLMAO: as that seems to have stopped) At school however... if I get stopped in a corridor to be asked...

So anyone who remembers the trainer from hell... At my first session she grabbed Mas’s face to stop him barking. On the second session (after I had left and got a refund) she tried to squirt bitter apple spray into a puppies mouth to stop them barking... Apparently last week she tied a dogs...

I’m always proud of the little munchkin but my god today he surpassed himself :love: 17 weeks old and weighs 14.9kg. First off.... HE SLEPT TILL 8.30am. I actually feel like I’ve been given the gift of life! Then we had puppy play this morning at a local field. He was such a superstar - 2...

So.. tomorrow we break up for 6 weeks! I’m on Holiday for 2 of them but for the next 3 weeks I’m remarkably freeeee. Was wondering if anyone West mids/North fancied a meet up? Obviously due to his age Mas isn’t up for a 10 mile trek but it would be lovely to put some faces to names and any...

Right so. We had the bitey stage... We had the sleep stage (frankly still in that one) But the biting stopped. Literally almost overnight. It went bye byes.... I could stroke him without looking like I had been mauled. However yesterday and today we are back to biting EVERYTHING. Nothing is...

So Mas came home on Purina robust puppy - fabulous poos, genuinely delightful to pick up, well as much as poo can be :cautious:... anyway no issues at all. But then I looked at the ingredients and realised that actually there is very little meat content. Leo (11yo) is on tails - £25 a month...

Do puppies chew their food? Maslow just swallows it whole! Which isn’t too bad when it’s kibble but I gave him some liver cake biscuits yesterday and he literally swallowed them whole. They were probably 3x3cm so not exactly tiny? His food has recently been upped (we hand feed as part of his...

My trainer just sent me this: I quite like it!

One of the support workers at work (I work in a school) has a new 1:1 child who is massively struggling - I’ve been doing some work with him and Maslow - simple things but they are being very affective - we managed to get him into the school building for a start! Something we have been working...

This is more for my ramblings... so don’t worry I’m not offended if no one replies :ROFLMAO: So Maslow is 14 weeks tomorrow... he came home at 8 weeks and aside from a teeny bit of whining slept in his crate - I woke him twice a night and he went back to sleep. I had the ideal puppy and was...
