It's very easy to feel that you must be able to make your dog fit in with what you want, that you must be in full control, but it really doesn't have to be like that. My dog goes through phases of refusing to walk to the woods, and appears to be being 'stubborn'. However, these phases have come afte...

I avoided feeding Jasper raw food until he was about 16 months old as reading about it was so confusing and I was sure it would be complicated (I'm the sort of person who would feed the family kibble if I could :oops: ).

I blame all the naughty bits on the Irish terrier! :lol: I...

Jasper is 19 months and our first dog as a family - I remembered the dogs we had as kids and thought I knew it all.... hahahahahaha :lol: Jasper was supposed to be my...

Hi! :D I'll try to be reasonably brief, because it's a bit of a saga.... I have a 19-month-pld lurcher who I have had since he was 7 weeks old. He's our first dog, not counting a couple I had as a child. As far as I could tell the litter were well cared for, and from the start he was raised using po...
