Wow, that's a lot of information, thank you.  Evie only wears a harness when travelling in the car which is attached to the safety belt anchor and not for walking.  I have always used a light lead, she is a Cockapoo, so not big or particularly strong.  She was more irritating on the lead rather...

After months and months of trying to train ' nice' lead walking - ive taken loads of advice and tried various methods but I've had to admit defeat and bought a halti for Evie.  Well it really is magic!  Walking with her is now a pleasure and I'm prepared to take her on trips which I know will...

Thank you LeashedforLife.  That's very reassuring.  She is a lovely friendly dog to both dogs and humans and she does quickly get the message from grumpy dogs and leaves them alone.   Sometimes over friendly with humans with a tendency to jump if they show any signs of encouragement but even...

I always leave Evie with a frozen filled kong when left on her own.  I put layers of diffferent food in them.  Kibble, cottage cheese, treats, some chopped apple, carrot, green beans, and then a spoonful of peanut butter to keep it all in place and then I poke some thin slices of carrot into the...

Hi Leah, I have problems with an insurer not wanting to pay out for spurious reasons.  However they did eventually pay up and we cancelled our policy.  Not sure if this is of any interest.

Thanks Joanne. I did think that might be the issue but the trainers where we've been going isince she was tiny suggested it was also a personality trait and was flirty behaviour.  She used to be a lot less confident and would often lie on her tummy when she saw a new dog, now she gets very...

She was spayed at 5 months, before her first season and on advice from vet.  I love the photo!  Evie did go though a period when she was humping anything but seems to have worked through that one.  I think it was Gypsysmum who suggested that might be due to over excitement and not knowing what...

Welcome Christina.  She's gorgeous.  Afraid I'm no expert on the food front and will leave it for one of the 'experts' on the forum but just wanted to say welcome,. This is a really helpful forum.

My female, spayed, dog who has just turned 1 displays some very dubious behaviour when approached by or approaches another dog.  She often either lays on her back with legs akimbo or just squats and lifts one leg.  She does this especially with males but also females.  They, of course, are very...

Ah, that's lovely Joanne.  A really nice experience to help replace the sad one.

Thanks areal human for posted these.  Brut as Joanne says it does sound a bit unpleasant, we would also need quite a bit to spread around all our borders,. Pretty sure the bottle of water wouldnt work for us, as we sometimes give these to Evie to play with.  Although I have heard of these being...

I'll have to admit that we also have a cat!  So am not worried about other cats.  We have tried little picket fences but Evie just jumps over them.  I might have a go at the pepper/chilli mix - not sure how you make this into a 'spray' though.  Any ideas areal human?

I'll be interested to hear the answer to this one!  My dog loves tearing round the garden, racing from one flower bed to another, usually with one of her soft toys in her mouth.  She never sits on the lawn and much prefers to lay in the flower beds usually on top of a comfy  shrub!!  And that's...

What's happened!!  Thought I'd got the wrong website and tried again!!  Was only when I saw some familiar names that I realised what must have happened.  I also hate upgrades/change and never use Facebook either.  Oh well, I guess I'll just have to persevere.

Welcome. This is a great forum with some very knowledgeable dog owners, always happy to offer support and advice. They have helped me enormously over last year.

Not at all. We use Canagan. We've also introduced raw chicken/duck wings a couple of times a week and also pilchards once a week. Our dog seems to really enjoy the variety.

I'm in West Sussex and pay £40 per visit, every six weeks. Shampoo, cut, blow dry and nails. She's there for about two hours.

Thanks Tomgregn. I'll take another look but this does sound quite expensive. We currently use a high quality kibble but only works out to about £1 per day!

My female Cockapoo was done at five months, following vets advice. She was absolutely fine and is now 11 months. The vet discussed the pros and cons and I then took their considered advice.. There are lots of different opinions on this but as far as I'm concerned, I treat the vet much as I...

So sorry JoanneF, what a horrible thing to have seen. Difficult to remove images once you've seen them. But, you never know, perhaps he did make it.
