    Harv's sixth advanced class

    I've just looked back through @UncleBob 's posts to refresh my memory. First week - pretty good, some sniffing, but not much. Second week, really sniffy. Third week really good. Fourth week, awful. Fifth week, excellent. Sixth week, back to really sniffy. It was this look back that made me...

    Harv's sixth advanced class

    He is quite a sniffy dog, although we have put it on cue. "Go sniff" and he's off, nose to ground and then pee. If we take a dummy and do a little training (usually at the local cricket ground) then he doesn't drop the dummy to go sniffing. He zooms straight back every time.

    Harv's sixth advanced class

    Given half a chance definitely sniffing and then peeing.

    Harv's sixth advanced class

    This does happen and is usually preceded by a hoolie. The trainer is really good at spotting it and sending @UncleBob and Harv off to a quiet area, but this intense sniffing seems different. Looking back at @UncleBob 's posts I think I might have spotted a common thread in Harv's less than good...

    Pet Insurance

    This works very well with many things - I've had great success with electricity, telephone & Internet, AA membership, Sky tv. I tried with Argos for the pet insurance after last year's big hike and they wouldn't budge. Other providers may be more flexible. @UncleBob

    Magic Word

    That would be Waitrose. They don't look very appetising to me, but, they do it for Harv.

    Magic Word

    Bit late joining this thread, but Harv's magic word is "jumbles". Works best shouted in a very cheerful voice. Jumbles are his bestest, favouritest treats and he'll fly back at the promise of one. :tail:

    Harv's fourth advanced class

    I'm writing this, because, well, let's just say Harv was not on form today. :devil: The general concensus seemed to be that there must have been a bitch in season in the field where we train earlier today. Harv would not stop sniffing. To be fair, the trainer said he managed everything that was...

    Cat Tolerance-creating a training plan

    We had a timid cat (sadly RIP) when we first got Harv. Whilst they were never the 'best friends and curled up together in front of the fire' types, much to Harv's annoyance, there was tolerance (which is the best you can hope for sometimes). I'm pretty sure that Zak George has a Youtube video...

    “I’m going to sneeze”

    Whenever we sneeze Harvey always comes across to check we're OK. I always say "Sorry Harv" because I've disturbed him. :rolleyes:

    Hello

    Yep. Sorry. Didn't fancy Mrs Uncle Bob! and hadn't realised Tuppence was a dog too. I just went with an Agatha Christie reference (and the name of our first pet) as no one seems to use their real names on here. ?

    Hello

    @UncleBob got fed up with me reading over his shoulder, so here I am as me, so I can keep up with what everyone is up to. Sorry, not intending to be as stalkerish as that sounds. ?
