Re: A walk with just Po

Wow, thank you so much for your comments, I only post pics in the hope that you guys will like my dogs, they are such a big part of my life, I enjoy sharing them with people.

Re: What do you positive trainers do with *real* aggression?

When a dog is truly in the "red zone" a phrase coined by other trainers and my understanding of it is when a dog is in a highly adrenalised state to the extent where it blocks out all external distractions and just focussing on what it is about to kill, chase or attack, no amount of verbal...

A walk with just Po

I have just got a new camera. Poor Po has been photographed over and over again, such a wierdo hound, he loves it really. Here are some ones of just him. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h274/commelina/dogs/DSC_0001.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h274/commelina/dogs/DSC_0095-1.jpg http://i66...

Re: Another heartwarming video

Thats what happened when Po got his leg caught, but he wasn't on the ground just dangling and screaming.

Good advice from Nettle, he mangled my hand when i rescued him,, didn't have any cutters so had to pick him up and thats when he got me.

Always good to see a happy ending

Re: Cavalier King Charles

I'm currently house sitting 4 CKCs! They are the most easy going dogs I have spent time with. They hardly bark, they don't mind Po popping round, they don't pull on the lead- just so easy to do. Although one has a nervous problem, one is blind and deaf and 2 are diabetic. No wonder they are so well ...

Re: the shame of it.

I'm glad you guys are laughing. :lol: I think i'll eventually stop blushing, would have been worse if it had been an old greying sports bra or some other unmentionable female accessory. Wouldn't have been so bad if he was a fit fanciable type, would be thanking Po for the icebreaker!! ~Think his cup...

Our dogs get along with his dogs and the two gangs often chill in the gard...

Re: Westie puppy 9 weeks / playing=biting

Hi. I think the method shown on the video is pretty unpleasant and unlikely to work long term. I'm sure you'll get some good advice on here. Puppies normally go through a 'vampire' stage, where they mouth and those evil needle teeth do really hurt, its natural and normal and will get better. What I ...
