Good to hear that Red is improving and hoping this continues. x

Only just reading this - I am so sorry for poor Red and for you. I do hope you get good news when you go in. xx

Hope Stan enjoyed his birthday. I always wrap Molly's presents - tearing off the paper is the bit she likes best!

Molly is feeling her age but today she wanted to walk right to the top of the cliff (from sea level), though she did need a rest at the top. Such a beautiful sunny day with my dear Molls.

Some of you know that I learn clarinet and take practising fairly seriously. For a long time I have been identifying bars or phrases that I'm finding difficult and practising them in isolation until fluent. However I had still been finding that when I tried to play the whole piece again the...

Wonderful to read your update on Flicka!

It didn't work at all - no surprise really. I've decided to pause and focus on other training until after the next show at the end of April. Yesterday I hired a sand school for an hour and set out a course. Rajah was quite hesitant and a bit worried looking so it might have been the surface or...

So I tried 3 approaches on Monday 1. Using a dumbbell and clicking for a sniff at it. I think the problem with this is my timing. I waited too long, hoping for more than a sniff and then when he raised his head I clicked - so all I have done is reinforce his belief that it is leaving the object...

That's really bad luck @Emily_Babbelhund x

Hope you've had a good night @Jelinga . Your vet's instructions sound very over-cautious. After Molly's spay, which was a full hysterectomy (and after her much more invasive lump removal) we walked her on lead twice a day for about 20 minutes each time for a week and then back to normal...

I buy this one from Amazon @Cath . I give Molly one a day and usually take just one myself but sometimes 2 for me...

@Cath Another supplement to consider is Hyaluronic Acid. It's not a wonder drug but it definitely seems to help. I've been giving it to Molly for about a year and taking it myself for a similar amount of time. With myself, after taking it for 3 months and having less pain (in fact no pain at all...

@Selina27 Thanks for your interest Helen. I've had to miss the borrowed dogs for a couple of weeks as I've had my sister's dog (Labx) to stay and she was crying whenever I left her with my OH. I hadn't progressed beyond the sniff at object. Meanwhile at home Rajah continues to steal objects and...

Happy birthday Jazz - I can't believe she's that old already!

I've only just seen this thread- very sorry Poppy's been so poorly and hope she continues to improve. x

@Jelinga I have tried smearingf cream cheese on the dumbbell. he licked it off but mad no attempt to take it in his mouth. I'm outside in public places with Rajah (Downs or park) so I don't feel I can just ignore him - it's a very different situation than with one's own dog at home. @Selina27 I...

Thanks @Beanwood I appreciate any help you can give. Rajah is fine on a send-away to a mat (this was a Rally exercise but it has just been removed). The problem I have is that he won't pick up anything in his mouth when he's with me - I don't just mean taking it from me, not from the ground...

I had to miss my session with Rajah last week (family bereavement) but saw him today and started the clicker retrieve. We only got as far as marking him for sniffing it - not quite a nose touch. I thought I might keep a record of progress on this thread. I'll see him next Monday but then will...

That's good to hear @Candy

That's very good news!
