    Feeling like a Puppy Mummy failure

    A friend of mine rang me last night and she said she had been talking to some of her friends who have always had dogs about betty and how she always jumps up and is hyper. One of her friends said that I am spoiling her and not training her the right and wrong behaviour and if I don't curb it she...

    Back up plan

    Back up plan

    Took Betty out in her harness this morning but I am getting a bit paranoid about her getting out of it and running off. I have heard instances of this. The harness fits her quite well as it should but I know they aren't fool proof . My idea to have a secondary lead on her collar as back up...

    what do you think about this video - harmless or dangerous?

    The one with the guy running down the hallway is just plain irresponsible as someone said what if he tripped over or the dog jumped up and pulled the baby from his hands. I was reading a story only yesterday in America where a dog had mauled a young woman and she died and the dog lived with her...

    what do you think about this video - harmless or dangerous?

    while it is very cute I have mixed feelings about this especially where the dogs are dragging the babies it may be funny but I don't think its something I would ever encourage. even the most loveable pet can turn and how would you ever forgive yourself if anything happened .There as been cases...

    Doing it all wrong

    Same with Betty on some of the other forums people are mortified that you d even consider giving your dog anything but dog food and dog food only . We ve always had dogs since I was little and they thrived quiet happy on dog food and left overs

    Doing it all wrong

    When I had my previous dog from 8 weeks until he was 15 he was babied he really was to an extent where he couldn't be left alone by himself or he would howl the house down so someone always stayed behind. I was devastated when he died but he was weaned on Weetabix and warm milk then wet dog food...
