  2. ..and you have already worked wonders! he certainly looks settled in! LOL The "Portrait of small Dog on Coffee Table" is just delightful Well Done yet again !
  3. On- leash walking is a very important skill. For owners and pups. The leash is an important training aid ..along with voice, praise, treats, toys, etc. walking on leash is essential if your dog is to lead a life away from the same parks/home routine A dog on leash can go to lunch with you, can walk around the neighbourhood and get to know the area in case they ever get out - they can walk safely along many beaches , in National parks etc where off-lead dogs are not allowed... In the end the leash is just "there' the communication you have with your dog is what keeps it in position/tells it to go slower/to stop/whatever ..the leash is a safety net for a trained dog
  4. Awww- I didn't think those two girls were going to move very far ;) How wonderful! they look so happy :D Shala looks extremely pleased about it all, too.
  5. Fences stop roaming. My bush-living dog is never outside without me , and , like others, I scout the area for roos/euros etc before we go out . I wouldn't trust one of those 'invisible fences' to stop a dog with prey drive ...I think the *zing* would be barely noticed with the adrenaline flowing!
  6. there's a theme happening here...

  13. Scary article . So our dogs are doomed to eat kibble and never to have the benefit of some natural therapies or food or BONES !

  18. Run free forever, genie What a beautiful tribute video ...she certainly was a lovely soul . take care of yourselves ...
  19. TALK TO YOUR VET about this. you cannot totally eliminate protein ...and there are different proteins. Get your vet, or a specialist vet to explain this to you - write it down, maybe ? Then you can work out the correct diet It is hard to think of him as 'older' - I remember when he was a pup!
