Hi everyone, We have an American Bulldog X Staffy who is just a few days away from turning 1. She has turned into a little brat and I need some advice! She's started to jump up and bite while out on walks on the longline. We can be walking along nicely and then all of a sudden she'll turn...

Hi! Really hoping this might resonate with someone! Would really love some advice, because it's not typical separation anxiety. I have two chihuahuas, Frank (8yo) and Arnold (7yo), and they're lovely little well behaved boys. I put loads of effort in with them so that they wouldn't be nasty...

Remi is now a 12 week pup (born on 22nd September). He entered mine & my husbands lives on 6th December - we weren't expecting to take him home that night after a vsit of some pups but I'm so glad we did. Remi is the first dog we've owned as a couple. I had dogs from 7 years old but just got...

Hello, I have a now 11 week old whippet puppy who has been with us for 9 days. For the last 5 days I have been on my own with him while my partner has been away for some training (I don’t work from home but I have had annual leave this week). I was just wondering how I can teach my puppy to be...

Hi Rosie and I have just joined this group. Rosie is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and I am a human. She has recently become an only dog as we lost both of her grand parents last year. One at 13yrs and the other at 15yrs. She is coping very well with these losses better than I am. She has...

Hi everyone, We have a 9 week old lurcher puppy who has settled really well. We've had her a week and really pleased with toilet training, sleep schedule, socialisation etc. My question is about training cues. At the moment we're trying to teach her to sit which is going okay - as well as...

Hi, I have a 15 week old cockerpoo, she’s started jumping up on to the sofa we’re we’re sitting an biting us. He goes through burst that last about 5 mins we’re she just literally torments us. As she still has her puppy teeth there all really sharp. When we’re walking around she’ll jump up and...

Hello all, I have 2 Bearded Collies, 7 and 5 years old. They are taken to the park every morning in the car. When they know they are being taken out they continuously bark repetitively until they leave the house, and when they get in the car they continue to bark right up until they get to the...

Hi Everyone, On the 5th of April we introduced a Cocker Spaniel puppy 'Tommy' into our family. I've grew up with Springer Spaniels and a Cavalier King Charles. This is my first Cocker Spaniel, I know they are renowned for being active, but Tommy was quite the opposite very subdued and barely...

Hi all Newbie on the site, but hoping the wealth of members experience can help me solve a small problem... My dog is a young JRT cross from a rescue centre and thus far she's shown great aptitude for training. The trouble is now that she's second-guessing and jumping the gun before a clear...

Hi everyone I'm not sure this is the right place to be posting this so apologies if not. I've recently bought a jack russel puppy who now is currently 11 weeks old, we all love him to pieces but I'm finding it very difficult to try and train him and keep him out of trouble as I've also got a 2...

In the past I have owned 5 dogs who were rescues, the last one passed away a few years ago and I've recently got a new puppy. since my last dog passed away I've had bad experiences with friends dogs that I've looked after who are completely unsocialised with other dogs, it was a nightmare to...

I'd like to get a puppy and I'm doing a lot of research into how to raise them and what they need etc, but I'm a bit concerned as to whether it would be more difficult considering my circumstances. I live in a first floor flat with balcony, by myself and work early morning shifts (leave at 3am...

He...

If anyone can offer any tips on this issue I'm having I'd be very happy! When my poodle was younger she would run after the frisbee and (more often than not) on command bring it back and drop it. However for a few months now she chases after it (ball, frisbee etc) sits down with it, drops it on...

Hey guys, I have an eight month old miniature poodle named Lilly. Every now and again I have issues whilst outside walking her. She never pulls on the leash rather stays behind me and needs encouragement to come. There are times when she doesn't respond to commands and seems just to want to...

Hey guys, I've decided to join here to get tips and tricks and how to raise my dog better. I think it's important to always look for new methods, techniques and tips from others to see what I can improve on! I've based my training methods on Zac George and his reward thinking based technique...

Hi everyone! I have a 1 year old male papillon puppy. He has always been very different ever since he was a puppy and we have grown to believe that he has mild hydrocephalus. The vet said it would be very expensive confirming this, and there isn't much they can do, so just to treat him as a...
