No, it is definitely something I would not encourage nor allow. The dangers from splinters in the mouth or throat, or even a blockage in the...
Surely not! How can you say that to your gorgeous hound! :):D [ATTACH]
I would cut out the dental sticks and the raw hides. Both of those make a couple of my dogs very sick. I try to use more natural treats without...
Lovely to see! Definitely stay away from the short seen retrieves on short grass, they don't teach the dog very much and will turn most dogs into...
I do use the recall whistle on the return from a retrieve. There is absolutely no harm in that. The other thing you can try is for one of you to...
My neck of the woods! So glad you had a lovely time, Kate, despite the monsoon like rain on Friday.
Apologies to the OP for briefly derailing the thread but the gundog trainer in me needs to make this point. I never mix chew toys that my dogs are...

Are you anywhere near the coast? If so, I would find a nice beach and drive the dog there and give her a run. I wonder what it is that's driving...
I think a field full of distracting scent and rabbit droppings might not be the right environment if you are just starting with an activity and...
Any breed - as long as it is a spaniel. :D
I have two horses and I walk and train my dogs in their paddocks every day. With dogs and horses it is not socialisation but habituation you are...
It is quite possible that the Drontal plus didn't agree with Charlie. My Alice has had a couple of really bad reactions to Drontal so I don't use...
