Henlow picks on the poor lady. He flies at her, she feels, out of the blue. She is doing her best to ‘discipline’ their fifteen-week-old Golden Retriever puppy. She has been fed with outdated advice. A build up of a number of things are resulting in Henlow becoming cross, defiant Read more…
The young couple adopted mix breed Buddy at five months old. He is now nearly two. They were told he had Beagle in him, though it’s hard to tell.
There really is nothing wrong with the young dog that a bit of motivation and consistency won’t solve – along with some systematic training exercises to get him to pay attention to them.
Bella is the most adorable, soft, cute, friendly and totally scrumptious Beagle puppy of six months old. She greeted me with lots of jumping up. She jumped up at the counters. Bella jumped at and onto the table. Bella is told NO. She’s told GET DOWN. When I arrive I usually Read more…
Sometimes there can be a bit of conflict, in my opinion, between what is learnt in formal training classes and the sort of behaviour that is needed for real life. My views may not be popular with everyone.

I had a real treat yesterday. I went to fourteen-week-old Petite Brabancon Griffon siblings, Jack and Coco.They were absolutely adorable. Apparently there are only about seventy-five of the breed in the country. There were no problems to address but the couple had missed out on their choice of local puppy Read more…
This little dog is a dream. I’m in love. The lady is wheelchair-bound and has had 20-month-old Chihuahua Pepe for ten weeks now. Apparently he came from a home where they also had two big dogs. He doesn’t bark too much, he isn’t demanding in any way, he doesn’t pull Read more…
The decision was that Billie shouldn’t jump up at people anymore. Up until now jumping up has been very rewarding in terms of attention. The 6-month-old terrier cross is looked at, spoken to in terms of reprimands or commands and also touched – pushed off. She may get down but Read more…
Initially the scared Denver spent most of his time hiding – especially from the man. They have come a long, long way with him since then but now need that final push, someone with experience who can see things through different eyes.
Could she be nervous? Because a dog jumps all over you when you arrive, grabs and mouths you and excitedly runs around panting and carrying toys, I don’t believe it is necessarily simply a display of friendliness. Pale Labrador Daisy was certainly not unfriendly, but all this hyperactivity when I Read more…
