Aw, he does look a lovely dog.

Hi CD89.  You have my full sympathy.  I had exactly the same problem with my Cockapoo, Evie.  I persevered for 13 months, following advice and trying a variety of methods - nothing worked.   At 13 months I gave up and brought a Halti.  Wonderful.  Worked like magic immediately.  Walks on lead...

What lovely pictures excuse me.  I agree Joanne, in my opinion the only thing that comes close to a puppy's tummy is a baby's bottom.

Hi and welcome to the forum.  My dog has always enjoyed lying on her back legs splayed.  Not very elegant for a lady!  Will attempt to attach photos - aged 8 weeks and 14 months.   Dave is a lovely puppy and a great name.

Welcome to the forum Julie.  This is a very friendly place with lots of helpful and knowledgeable people.  

So glad it has worked for you too.  

Welcome Bob.  As escuseme has said this is a very friendly forum.

Very good, excuse me!  Glad to hear your husband is ok.  

I have a 15 month Cockapoo and she too pulls constantly on her lead.  I spent 12 months trying every method I found.  She does know what is required, because if she pulls, I stop, she turns and brings herself back to me, we then set off again but she immediately gets to the end of the lead, I...

Good luck then Wotho!!!  Your husband is a lot braver than mine excuse me!

I'm no expert but I'd probably give it a go.  My husband would t touch it with a barge pole!!  I'm guessing that being frozen for so long would just reduce quality rather than safety.   Let us know how you get on if you're able to, of course! Lol

Goodness bub1, I seem to have upset you somewhat, this was not my intention and I apologise.  I was expressing my views on what I had seen on the TV.  I have no idea on what happens behind the scenes or when the cameras are turned off.  If, as you say, this lady now has a very happy and well...

Did you ask her if this was the first puppy she had owned.  If it is then this might explain why she was so ill prepared when she collected it from the breeder and brought it home for the first time.  This doesn't explain however why the breeder let her take it under these conditions.  When we...

Then I suspect that the TV company have done some clever editing to make it more 'entertaining', which I still think sends out the wrong message to potential puppy owners.  Even worse really if people think they can bring a new puppy into their home with no preparation and little apparent...

I agree again Julietee!  I don't mind coloured leads so much, but hate dog clothes.  I also cringe inside when someone refers to me as Evie's mummy!  

Sounds the perfect match!

Oh dear.  These TV companies have a lot to answer for.  Entertainment at the expense of a puppy's well being is so irresponsible.

Never mind.  I had a long chat with the scent lady and I've enrolled with her for a 5 week 'recall outside, with distractions' course and will do the scent workshop in the next round.  A caravan would be a great idea but not sure husband would agree!  Glad you enjoyed it Joanne.  

Hello Soniclass and welcome to the forum.  I am by no means an expert on dogs and have found the advice on this forum invaluable over the past 12 months with my puppy.  I do feel for you in your current situation but can only really recommend that you follow dogmatises advice and return one of...

I agree with you Juliatee, I also find him extremely irritating with an ego the size of a house.  He is undoubtedly a very clever man who performs amazing surgery but I'm not always comfortable with what these poor animals go through.
