Sounds like your dog is training you very well...6-7 food changes in as many months as you have had her ( from 2 months old) so for the age she is now, 9 month old...so when your dog decides it doesn't fancy what you have given, it turns its nose up, cries/whines and you run around and find...

I really don't think there are 'stronger' breeds/harder or not to train than others, it comes down to owner, how they train, what they like, how the dog/owner interacts. We all have our preferences of 'type' of personality, breed we like/prefer and it is more about matching the right breed or...

Totally agree, 99% of Vets only know what they are told by the RC sales rep who supplies them and of course it provides the vets with a very good turnover by promoting RC to their clients ( unless the vet has spent another two years studying animal nutrition)...and I have to say the only thing...

Yes I know what you mean, some people don't realise/are thoughtless and think you are being rude saying no... I learned a long time ago that I can't do anything at all about other people and what they do, but I can do something about me and how I train my dogs.... Years ago while showing at a...

First you need a health check to make sure it is not a UTI.... then you need to change what you do, how you behave and think as you say you are at your wits end meaning ( to me) stress, frustration and that affects a dog making it feel insecure and more likely to toilet in the house, dogs are...

When you have a large pack of dogs spaying/nuetering is important otherwise natural hormones kick in each and every time and fights will happen or you keep them completely separated, as if any fight starts that will trigger pack mentality and you will have the pack join in and at least one dog...

Alopecia in dogs is a sign of an underlying medical cause which must be determined for the condition to be successfully treated, there is also 'seasonal alopecia' both could be an hormonal imbalance. In people it is classified as an autoimmune disease and develops when your immune system attacks...

The only tips are you need a calm, confident, well trained to a highest obedience level and engage professional training where the highly trained dog can be correctly assessed to enable any dog trained for the ability to attack on command AND LEAVE ON COMMAND.

One of the best I have found is Norweigian dog trainer, educator, author is Turid Rugaas if you search online you will find her website and FB page

After the ticks prolonged attachment/feeding, the engorged tick transmits the toxin to its host....which is why I use neem that stops them attaching in the first place

I agree with all that...salt water bathe to keep it clean and pat dry, another good product is Aqueous Cream ( very cheap from any supermarket, chemist or bargin basement shop) it is what they use in the burns units in hospitals no perfumes in it and perfectly safe for dogs and keeps the skin...

I use neem as a flea/tick/mite 'treatment' so my dogs don't get them ( and they are daily around sheep so highly likely they would) I asked my vet what he used for his dogs ( he also has sheep) or if someone came in to see him expecting him to say some 'vet treatment' or physical removal and he...

If you feed raw which I do then where ever you travel there are butchers , supermarkets, fish mongers and I take with me one/two meal amounts and raw bones and the week before get an extra Ox heart and liver from my butcher and bake them , chop them and they can be used as 'treats' or meals and...

I think it depends on the individual, their home and what they want. I would never advise getting a dog for the dog you already have, YOU are the one looking after, training, feeding and providing for the dog you get, so only get another if you want another one. I personally would tell people...

I own two dogs (and a cat) hope I can add my 'bit' to the community
