Hi. My name is David and I’ve just joined the community. My partner and I have our first dog who we love dearly: a 6 months old, female, blue brindle whippet, called Elsa. She enjoys being off-lead in the local fields, always keeping an eye on where we are and returning when called. She runs at...

Hi Everyone, I have a collie who is almost 2 years old. He is very playful and happy, everything else is perfect but he is absolutely terrified of cars. When we go on walks he is fine until a car passes and then he pulls back on the lead and actually attempts to run in front of the cars...

Hello guys I’m actually looking for any help at all. I have an 11 month golden Labrador. He is generally a heavy dog and can easily pull my weight or anybody else who takes him walks. He literally drags us all over the place and I don’t know how to stop it I have tried everything. I have a...

I have been walking my cocker now for around a month and nearly every time we go to go home (he knows the route now) he starts trying to race away and throwing himself in the air while on the lead, he then ignores the no command. I usually stop until then we set off again and in seconds it...

Hi there I'm new to the forum - i'm going to be taking on a whippet pup in about 4 weeks. Very excited as this is my first dog, albeit I've been around dogs all of my life. This is my own pup. First question is. I look after my sister's dog. She's a small dog. A chihuahua, yorkie, terrier, so...

This is just a general query! My rottie tore her crucial ligament in her back leg last summer and since then has had surgery to repair it! My vet told me after she’d been given the all clear that she was fine going for walks but maybe not let her play with other dogs. I’ve let her off a few...
