    Dog off lead attacked my dog

    Bloody idiots like this annoy me so much I only know this because of a dog attack we suffered.. Nothing can be done unless you take them to court yourselves . While it's an offence to have an out of control dog in a public place and it's against the law not to have a tag on your dog out and...

    Worried about my dog's mental health

    Exactly what my 17yr did. Please take them to the vet to be checked over. Before my dog was diagnosed with heart problems he did after exercise..I think because he felt strange so he would take himself off somewhere quite and dark till he had recovered. He do sent do it so much now , but it's...

    How to crate train a puppy

    Brilliant post from Joanne ..I agree with everything ..please don't leave your puppy distressed , they are away from mum, siblings , in a new home with strange people new smells etc etc. Poor little popper needs comfort and love .

    Need help about new pups breed

    I agree , looks like a working line cocker . If the dog was purchased from a puppy farm it's more important to get the dog health checked as soon as possible as puppy farmed dogsare not usually in the best of health and can come with a multitude of heath problems due to bad breeding and lack of...

    I'm done !

    But that's my problem ..I don't say 'hang on mate , that's not good' I say 'WTF you bloody cruel idiot' which is of no use to anyone and may well put people off joining.. The final straw today was the guy who justified throwingbstones at his dog with a slingshot by saying he was an...

    Dog won't loose leash walk or learn new tricks

    Quite a few of us on here have Degree's too ..Quite a few don't ..but you do not need to be an academic to know you don't hit your dog with rocks , especially from a bloody sling shot ..don't suppose by any chance you have been hiding in the bushes and using a sling shot on your depressed dog...

    Dog won't loose leash walk or learn new tricks

    I genuinely cannot believe you claim to be an academic yet out of the hundreds of studies done and mountains of available literature that explains why using force or physical pain to train is not good ..you find info that says slingshot your dog with a stone .. I think I'm going to leave this...

    :( . Not kicking hell out of it no, but still using pain and fear as a way to get the dog to obey you.differently strokes for different folks i suppose but woe betide anyone who tried to do it to my dog. Don't understand anyone who would want to use pain as a way of training their dogs when...
