Hello Everyone

I’m looking for peoples opinion on what you think the best sort of dog collar as are dog pulls like mad on the lead especially if she another dog or cat you cant control her she dose know a lot of basic commands but when she is outside she is very stubbed and doesn’t listen to me  at the moment we just have the regular sort of collar we have tried the halti it didn’t really work and made her bald on her snout we have also tried a choke chain but again it doesn’t seem to matter to her that she is being choked and im afraid it may really hurt her! I would be really grateful to anyone with any ideas.

Hello

I’ve seen this behaviour before on a program with a Jack Russell  when his owner went out to work he would do his business in the hallway everyday without fail the dog had anxiety issues  and the way they got around it was walking the dog 3 times a day a really good walk make a nice cosy space where he could sleep and is his own,  and the big thing that worked was they recorded the owners voice on tape and played it when the owner went out it worked a treat and the first time they tried it.
  hope that helps

Hello everyone

has anyone got any ideas on how to train a dog to ignore other dogs on a walk??? as my dog go's mad shes not nasty just wants to see the other dog up close or play and nothing you say to her can get her to walk strate past!! help!!!

Hello

When we first got are dog she had a problem with children she would bark and growl when out on walks. The trick is to do things slowly we have a lot of children in are family so we introduced bit by bit with my brother age 6 playing ball and throwing food gown to her and it worked!

As for your doggy issues it may sound mad but I was watching a program where a dog had a phobia of beards and they got the women owner to dress up as a man as the dog loved and obeyed the women it did work so you could try that lol
As for the barking try ignoring him and walking him out of a room and letting him out again when he has stopped and keep doing it till he get the point also try not to make eye contact

Oh and for food aggression the say to try and feed bye hand

Hope that makes sense and helps you a bit xxxx

Damn didnt see them vouchers!!!

I will do the change over slowley.

Oh good let me know how you get on we cant start are bag till Simba has eaten all the Royal Canin the vet gave us. But like you said its the same as the jwb so should do the same job but for £3.99!!!!!

Is that the Wainwrights dogs best friend food?

Hello hp

What breed is your dog? we also had Simbas poo tested for about £60 and it came back clear the next set of tests would of cost £350!!!!! and would be very invasive if she was still suffering we would of gone down that root but im so glad we decided to try her diet befor that.

Hello everyone the update is Simba has been fine for 4 days now on her new diet for food allergys i think she is just a really sensitive dog which is a lot down to her breed. As she is part german shepherd they are well known as sufferers of bad tummys!!

we have tryed both chicken and fish with brown rice and both were bad on her tummy!!!

I have just come back from pets at home and had a look at the dog food for sensitive tummys has anyone tryed Wainwrights dogs best friend its all hypo allergenis like James wellbeloved but cheaper still!!!ive also bought Simba some James wellbloved cracker jacks so i can treat her thanx for all your hellp everyone !!!!

no she is better on dry food if you give her a tin or fresh meat its like water coming out of her are vet says to keep her on dry for now anyway it would be nice to give her meat as she really loves it at the moment i cant even give her chews!

Right then i will have a look around for it then.

So did your dogs have a bit of a funny tummy on other foods??? We have tryed just about everything with Simba

really thats good to know i will look into that thanx very much

really we was told about that food you say you find it very good how much does it cost?

ive been to the vet today seem to think gsd and a small lab
