I rescued a cocker spaniel bitch around 6 weeks ago and she is doing really really well. She’s an ex breeding bitch so she knew nothing until I got her. The only thing we are struggling with is toilet training. There’s not much of a pattern and when she’s gotta go she goes wherever she is. I...

Haha, my Springer Lennie is about 15kg and I can pick him up pretty easily but wouldn't be able to carry him far... and Poppy is about 10 kilo's shes a light as a feather lol

I can imagine she will build up some muscle and condition, she had never been out on a walk up until 3 weeks ago but time will tell of course

I know what im spending my pay-cheque on when i get paid haha. Lots of busy toys haha. The bins she tends to leave alone when i'm there as she gets a firm 'AGH no' even if she just touches it with her nose, but when my partners in his office and not watching her she takes the opportunity lol...

She is wonderful ❤️ At the moment I’m chilled on the sofa in the sitting room and my partner is in the kitchen next door cooking dinner, she’s in there with him but keeps trotting back in booping her nose on my knee and skipping back to the kitchen. I am completely blanking her Ive read about...

Hi marlina, just had a read an some apply some don’t. To be honest she isn’t actually scared of much! Which is surprising, but she isn’t keen on going outside but will if I am with her but she is definitely not afraid lol I fact she embraces her new life a bit to over confidently! But she’s...

I would say she’s on the skinny side but not underweight - pure due to the fact she’s getting so much exercise that’s she’s never ever had she shed quite a bit over the first few days but is putting it on. At the Kennels she had access to ad-lib food and wasn’t over weight. I would satay she...

She was wormed twice when she arrived at the Kennels about 6-7 weeks ago. With Milbermax the day she arrived and again a week later with Drontal when she had her first vacc. I don't think its an awful lot considering but between the two dogs we fill to dog bowel up once a day. She is on dry...

My partner has also noted that she drinks an awful lot and is always hungry. (On 3 meals a day at the moment) is this a sign of anxiety? Or shall i get the vet to check this?

Hi Terry, I have Lavender oil at home, can I mix that with water and use that? Would it have the same benefit. Do i spray it on her or on her bedding etc? Adaptil I will buy this evening as I've heard good reviews and i'm sure i have an elastic bandage somewhere, do they keep the wraps on all...

I mean 'to hot to handle' in the respect that she paces at high speed constantly round and round trying to find me when i'm there and when i'm not there, my partner can stop her and give her a fuss but once he's done and getting on she'll start again and just go round and round the house, up and...

It's not overly frustrating for me, I can deal with it and if i tell her to go and get in bed instead of draping over me she will go, but i can imagine it is for her and my partner as he needs to be able to walk her which she refuses and for her to settle while he's with her at home and i'm...

Yes she is an ex-puppy farm breeding bitch. That is all i know but i help out at the kennels i got her from so knew her when she arrived. They were not underweight or mistreated but had very limited human contact except for the obvious. She has just latched onto me like a leech and wont give up...

I've just rescued a Working Cocker Spaniel bitch about 3 weeks ago. Obviously I know a settling period is allowed for but she is so attached to me that it's becoming a bit of an obsession for her. I work full time and my partner works from home so he is with her all day but she will not settle...

Well my partner had the option of babies or animals and i'm sure you can guess what he chose :D She is much better than when i first brought her home - I can leave the room without her following me now but within about 10 mins shes running around looking for me haha. I'm doing my best and she...

Thank you :) nice to meet you Josie, No she doesn't! shes stuck to me like glue all the time and if she doesn't know where I am she paces the house frantically till she finds me... which is cute and lovely that she feels safe with me, but I do worry that it could become separation anxiety...
