I have a bouncy teenage boy also slightly anxious about vet - def not for keeping still at all and a big strong boy - I use a small round raised disc as a target for his front feet - lots of reinforcement for standing with front feet on disc - then introduced another person (not vet just a...

well for teenage dogs sniffing other dog smells is v high priority so if you can get his attention in this situation then you are really winning! and other areas out and about in the rest of the world will be much easier. Sit/stays where dog and owner stand and stare at each other slightly...

I still have this behaviour with Cola too - but can kindof manage it re-directing to his fuzzy ball (when he has his fuzzy ball in his mouth he is quite civilised - when he drops it then I know he is thinking of coming for me! )- having a well rewarded "on your bed" cue helps so he drops his...

applied to join and managed to put your name in - my teenage boy Cola wriggled under a gate today and was off - couldn't see anything he was chasing - but def got the scent of something - his recall did work (phew) but he is soooo fast that he was a long way before I got thru the gate and the...

"I'm using closed doors more and more often now" !!! - Oh yes - well I did use the paddling pool as a refuge when he was younger

I've looked at it and I might do it with Cola although at the moment he is quite focused when we are doing stuff - just not so good if we are just bumbling

OK - yes she is blunt !! (sometimes very blunt - when Cola was dancing round the room with the brush not dropping for any click or any treat) - but hey shrug that off and take the advice

I have done Jo's Clicker retrieve course with Cola and it was excellent - videos were very clear - step by step - she was also very good at replying on the facebook page for any queries - you could post videos - ask questions and I always got a reply with suggestions by the next day. Some...

I'm getting this mouthing/jumping quite a bit with Cola too - and I squeak too when hurt !! I know its play because he does the same to my other dogs when he wants to play with them too. When does it happen:- 1) at the end of a short walk, when we come out of the woods and we are going back into...

up to 18 months he can enter gundog "special puppy" class - which he definitely is !!! so plenty time for log updates !!

It has a beep sound which acts like a clicker - which you can turn off. But basically you put kibble in the middle and press your button - a little disc with a hole whirls round and allows some kibble to drop out thru the hole. I think it came with 2 discs with different sized holes - so you...

I have one - its a fairly old model now - but I have a lot of trouble with it jamming (some kibbles are better than others) - and it makes a horrible noise when it does - so Jaffa pictured left hated it (which kindof defeats the object)

sorry can't really help - I mainly feed raw but do use the fish4dogs kibble as "treats" - the small bite is nice for "scatters" and hunt training and to have in your pocket for instant rewards (raw is not sooooo good for that!!)

thank you !!! just saved £15.50 on order (was going to do it yesterday, phew) thanks

finally managed to cut 2 slivers off Cola's front nails tonight! - we have been working towards this for several weeks now. I put a bowl of treats in front of him with him in a down - started like in Kikopup video above - to touch eg his paw and feed treat at the same time - this really helped...

Oh crumbs - Natalie - Cola still has all his baby teeth and no big ones yet and I am still struggling - 16 weeks old - so I have at least another 6+ weeks of this - Oh no - need to lie down in a darkened room - and breathe - the ones where he dives round the back of me and goes for the back of...

fairly sure the 4th foot was actually in, but this was the best I could do - trying to reward and take piccies at the same time is not easy - especially since Cola has a tendency to lunge for the camera !!

well one foot in the bowl and 3 up in the air is pretty impressive too (maybe?)

4 feet in a bowl - Cola style

Dogs Matter - based in Exeter do a "positive control around sheep" course - their August one is fully booked but they will probably run it again. I haven't done this course but do regularly train with them and they are v good
