Over tired puppies are like over tired children. HYPER The rule of thumb for exercise is 5 minutes per day for each month of life.
I was recently at the Guide Dog Breeding Centre. They quite literally stand over the pups while they eat and the second they stop eating they are...
Does she do it at a particular time of day? Molly used to have her "terrible time" at about 6.00pm and she would display all the behaviours you...
It is important to meet your puppies parents. Molly's mum was a very tall but lightly built girl who just radiated friendly good nature, very...
I think asking any dog, let alone an 8 month old puppy NOT to react to an onslaught is a very big ask. Rio gave voice to her opinion at being...
I am pleased Chepi is OK. Hopefully, your heart rate will return to normal sometime soon. I expect you are now thinking "did I over-react". The...
Hello from Molly and me. Molly is 22 months and an English or Field Labrador. She is a very athletic, lean dog. Like Show line Charlie she is...

What is a delicious puppy smell? At 8 weeks Molly stank. I think her eleven litter mates peeing and pooing on her was responsible for the pong....
Just personal choice.....but I like the old fashioned rolled leather collars. I think they sit nicely on the dogs neck and are comfortable for...
I do wonder why some people have dogs in the first place. In my world I have dogs to give them affection and as companions. I do train them,...
Greetings from 21month old Molly and me in the Thames Valley. She's a Golden Girl.
I would like to introduce you to my friends dog Quijo. Quijo worked as a Guide Dog but was retired at the very young age of 5 as he had ED. I've...
Makes sense Fiona. I was thinking of upping the treat value. Whatever next, caviar I wouldn't put her back on a head collar. It served its...
I utterly accept that dogs love to sniff and that the walk is for Molly's pleasure as well as my own. But it is taking too blooming long. She...
It comes as quite a shock when the lovely, famously gentle, Labrador puppy proves to be a biting machine. You wonder what you are doing wrong....
