Welcome Sally and gorgeous Cooper from me, Hattie 13 1/2 years and Charlie 10 years old. We live in Scotland. xx

I think we have all faced this at one time or another. Charlie is not fond of some dogs and I find the A-B method really useful also treats on the nose, I use primula cheese or liver pate in a tube for quick dispensing. Don't give yourself a hard time. You have lots of options here to help...

A groomer told me Charlie had long nail beds as his never look cut even when they have been. xx

"Don't let the fire escape" my Dad used to say!! xx

As children we lived in the coldest house, I still remember it. No central heating just an open coal fire. No double glazing, no hot running water, my Mum used to boil water for us to have a wash and put the geezer on for baths. I used to get dressed in bed!! If we complained we were cold she...

@Oberon Charlie's not perfect but that's fine by me, I never wanted perfection. Dealing with the dog in front of you and doing whatever works is the best way. xx

The are so short @Boogie Charlie's are like Ella's and that's having them cut ever few weeks. I use @snowbunny advise on the white line, so I cut to there and snip the sides, touch wood I've never cut the quick. However, the quick's have never receded as I understood they can with regular...

I just remember being advised on the forum when Charlie ran the perimeter to never let him out alone as that was reinforcing his behaviour. I know it wasn't about barking at a dog but it was an awful habit that used to upset me. I took that advice onboard. It was hard but it proved in the long...

Me four. We've just sold our Georgian house where we would scrape ice off the inside of the windows and it had central heating!. I don't miss that :cold::cold:xx

:rofl: Oh Paul, you're the best. My Dad used to get all 'dolled' up as he called it when he was taking his dog for a walk. My Mum would say "you're only taking Ben out" his response was "you never know who you're going to meet" Bless my lovely Dad xxx

This is very tough Emily. xxx

Why was it a no go Emily? Was it Ella or the groomer? x

Oh sorry Emily we posted at the same time! xx

@Jen Suggestion is a good one. My sister's rescue dog screams, shakes and his heart rate rises if she tries to cut his nails. She takes him to a groomer who has spent two years building his trust. He's still not great but a good groomer wants the same as the owner, a good outcome. Groomers...

So he used to bark in the front window? x

I know you're not forgoing training, you do a great job. I wonder if Shamas is already getting to the buffer zone and you are in the kitchen, he is already self rewarding by getting to the fence because you're not with him to act swiftly to redirect. To me the purpose is not to let him get to...

Charlie's grow very fast. I cut his every two weeks or so but when he was rehabilitating after his surgery he was being walked down the Glen road and his nails stayed filed. I'm glad that he has no problem having them clipped. xx

He sounds wonderful Natalie, rather handsome too xx :inlove:

I'm sorry Violet has left your lovely family, they will miss her :cry: 10 years old that is an amazing and happy life. Fly free lovely Violet. xxx :hug:
