What do your dogs do on walks? On Stanley’s off lead walks he generally plods along beside me, stopping for the occasional sniff then he plods a bit faster to catch me up. Unless he’s chasing his ball or playing with another dog he doesn’t do much running. A couple of my friends who have...

So Stanley has turned into a bit of a thief since Rory came along. He’s never been a very good “dropper”. He will leave things but you have to say leave it before he gets to it, once he’s got it that’s it it’s his. Somehow I’ve managed to train without much effort that if I say “right that’s it...

So since we’ve brought Rory home there have been a few changes with Stanley. His stealing has gotten worse and he’s got a LOT more barky. The biggest change though has happened a couple of times. Stanley is the most placid dog ever, if another dog goes for him he just runs away. But a few...

He NEVER lets me down. As cool as a cucumber and been so quiet and calm ❤️ I honestly couldn’t love him more!

Can anyone recommend a car harness they use on their dogs? I’d ideally like him to be able to lie down still but I can only find ones where he’ll be sat up. Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea how I go about teaching Stanley the difference between his toys and the baby’s toys? Anything bright coloured or soft he wants, and I’m not sure how to differentiate 🧐

Since I’ve been pregnant I’ve had the constant.. “you can’t trust the dog round the baby.. never leave them alone.. etc”. Obviously I would never leave the baby alone unless he was somewhere completely safe anyway but it’s made me think about how much I trust Stanley. And I would say the...

Stanley still has a bit of conjunctivitis. I think a large part of the problem is because we struggle to get the drops in his eyes so much. Can you get a cream or a gel does anyone know? That might be easier to get in.

It’s time for the dreaded D word for poor Stanners. He’s like an actual barrel. I noticed yesterday and realised we’re going to have to do something while we probably needs to only lose a couple of kilos and I will NOT have a fat Labrador. I can’t weigh him because I’m also too fat to lift...

Stanley has a bald spot on his chest. It started as thinning fur maybe a year or so ago and it’s gradually got thinner and I’ve noticed today it’s full on bald. Its not red, I haven’t seen him itch that particular spot but I’m worried about something like mites. We thought at first that it...

I thought it might be helpful to post if you’ve found any treats that work exceptionally well with your dog. Stanley absolutely LOVES these. At £3.99 for 150g they’re quite expensive but for a very good recall I’m happy to pay up 🤷🏻‍♀️

We’re going to the lakes in a couple of weeks with Devil dog and I’ve been looking at options of places to stay. Usually we hire a cottage, lodge etc but we’re only going for a couple of nights so just decided on a hotel. I can find lots of dog friendly hotels - however, I can’t seem to find...

I found this email in my inbox today when I was searching for something. I was so frantic he was going to have separation anxiety and was frantically trying to arrange for a trainer to come up. My poor lad just needed some time to adjust to his new Little life - I wish I’d known then what I...

Aldi have loads of good dog stuff in at the minute if anyone shops there. Lots of toys and the snidey kongs are back in. 2 for £4.99 - they’re not as good but they’re fine for that price.

So I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of days and seeing if I’m overreacting but the more I’m thinking about it the sadder it makes me. Stanley seems to get “bullied” by other dogs. He’s literally the most friendly, loving, playful little angel and he’s got absolutely no force in him...

I’ve got it into my head I’d like to rescue a cat. OH doesn’t think it’s a very good idea, he thinks Stanley and the cat won’t get on and he’s concerned about the litter tray. I don’t see the big deal - we have babygates on the kitchen and the stairs and the litter tray can go upstairs...

I’ve come down this morning and Stanley has what looks like comjunctivitis. I give up with this dog! He’s determined to bankrupt me!!! Our vets have an emergency clinic between 10 and 11 on Sundays so I’m just waiting for them to open and we’ll go. He’s rubbing it and I don’t watch him to...

.. to no harness! He walks so lovely now I have given him the freedom to not have his harness on anymore (he hates it anyway). He’s getting such a good boy :giggle:

Oooh it let me in! I thought I’d go extremely creative on my name this time and just use Jen :p So Jen & Stanley here :giggle:
