First of all, I would have had some choice words for this lady. I would do a u-turn, my dog focusing on me and walk in the opposite direction. I don't like the idea of standing there, but I'm no expert. I learned from a trainer recently to carry dog "correction" spray. It makes a loud noise and...

This sounds awful for you guys and it would be a rare dog who wouldn't react in some way (refusing to go out, barking back etc.). Is there any way to tell if they are outside before you let Red out? One thing I would consider is going out with her on a leash to keep her from being too close to...

I even have a Scrufts collar across an ocean...and I have to make it fair, so now i have to order another one.

Congrats! I wonder if mine would even entertain the competition if there was a stream nearby 😆

Yes! 🤣

She looks much better this morning and very lively. Just a little swelling on one side of her mouth so after one more dose of the antihistamine I think we’ll stop. It makes her very sleepy. She has not learned her lesson - still after all bugs, so I’m sure this will happen again at some point 😣

It was the emergency vet so I’ll speak to our vet on Monday about it and see what she recommends. She’s on human Benadryl every 8 hours for 3-5 days until the swelling goes down. I’ll make sure I have that on hand for sure!! She was having trouble eating treats and ice cubes last night when we...

We have two within 13 km (10-15 minute drive) but we still waited almost 2 hours for her to be triaged! We do live in a very populated area though.

Oh this is good to know!

Sounds like progress! I found the outdoor classes harder because it’s basically starting out in a high distraction place instead of building up it - we had a wooded area behind us and it was a nightmare for smells and sounds. I think the time of class is important for young dogs but maybe not...

so sorry to read about the loss of Sasha. hope your friend is ok - it’s such a sad loss

The wasps here have been out of control and Prim has been on a mission to catch one...well she did and paid the price. Her whole face swelled up like a balloon and her eyes puffed up and went red. Off the the emerg vet we went! She stayed for a few hours and had shots of antihistamine and...

Hilarious! No one to blame for an innocent dog shake!

Kate, your set up with Anna sounds great and I really wish we had something like that here. I do need to find someone for both dogs now that we've moved and I will eventually be back in the office. I really miss Quinn's old dog walker who would have been a life saver right now. There seem to be...

So far today (and we are just past lunchtime), Primrose has chewed through a macbook charger (I'm sure she got a little zap from that) and the piano pedal cord. Both happened in seconds - while she had a tendon chew!! I can't keep her crated all the time, but honestly - she just goes around...

Quinn has zero issues with surfaces, but doesn't like metal stairs/bridges with big gaps like that and walks really slow. I also think not dog friendly because they are really cold on paws in the winter and hot in the summer!

Yes, I've been wondering how you're getting on!

8 months old now and presenting some challenges! She’s exhausting right now - just constantly wrecking everything no matter how much exercise, play, enrichment and training we do in a day. Jumping up and nipping at me is her new thing - she bites at the top of my legs and bum. I know it’s...

Primrose will be getting one for Christmas this year! Hopefully she’s over her “wreck everything” phase by then. Quinn’s is put away for now (see reason above)

Happy gotcha day Coco!
