thanx weasels sounds like it worked for you, also sounds like something i could do did you use really good treats eg chicken or just plain like the dogs kibble?

sammie if you want to meet up for a "training" day i live in brisbane and would have no problems meeting you at a park and doing some training with/around you weasels, so how did you start? would you just click and reward when he looked at her? anytime?

thanx sheena i might look into that book MEH

sorry to butt in on this thread would this training work on my pup to get her focus off my older dog? when im throwing toys and she is just focused on him?

so so so so so sorry for your loss, thinking of you

hey they look cool...not sure where i would use it though

sweet im getting a puppy pack toooo

lol sounds similar to my situation Jacqui, willow is only 5 months and when i do train her she does focus, but my boy is mega focused on me

im curious to know this answer also panto i have 2 furbabies no skin ones and i know alot of other dog pple who have not so well behaved dogs due to not putting the time in i really belive we get shitty kids from lazy parents, or are not so well behaved kids born that way its the old nature vs nurture debate really

great to hear bianca any pics??

now that you mention it bianca my girl willow used to get the hiccups when i first got her, they just stopped i wouldnt worry about it too much unless they go on for too long

thats sad

so sorry to hear this thinking of you...off to hug my beautiful puppies

ruby my family is the same

how did you find this out buddy? my 3 yr old boy has been covered for about 2 years with medibank, so he is 100% covered? but my second dog wont be? petplan was too expensive for me from memory...maybe ill just have to put up with the 80% coverage maybe i should call them...

love mooses fro

i have 4 crates and 2 dogs one in the bedroom for my pup, older boy has a bed (he isnt crate trained) then 2 in the living room where they eat dinner, and one crate that just hangs around, i would like to crate train my boy though

here

awwwwwwww kobie

basically what everyone else has said, and i did this with my new pup i just sat there one night and would say her name and every time she looked she got a treat, and praise, it only took that one night, she looks when i say her name, wouldnt hurt for a refresher course though

clairey bell sorry i had to laugh sorry you were in crutches though well i was playing gotchya bum game with my 2 so i was running around the house, i turned and slipped my foot just went out from under me, i was lucky i didnt hit my head on the tiles, but i have a very sore knee, i had to lie there for a min cause i would have passed out if i had gotten up straight away

thats a good idea tassie i might ask some of my BAD friends to help out next time

Hmmm... even the term "pet friendly" is apparently different to what I think of as friendly, though. I have just gone through the process of trying to book a place for a few days, and one real estate agent was most offended when I commented that I did not think that a property which didn't allow dogs inside at all, even crated, and had only wire stock fencing should be advertised as dog friendly. When I asked for a listing of other dog-friendly properties on their books only one of about 15 allowed dogs inside, and a lot of them where in built-up areas. Just what I'd want as a neighbor - a visiting dog barking overnight because it doesn't understand why it's outside! I do agree on that point... I always contact them to find out their conditions and fencing. Sure you have to look around, but we have stayed at heaps of places that have let the dogs inside (just counting them... probably around 8 different places now). Some have bent their rules to let our dogs be crated inside, or not in the bedrooms, or if we vacuum afterwards, etc Totally agree. I find most properties in the fine print say "small dog only" or "outside dog only". This is not pet friendly!!! If you want your dog inside it means they are house trained. Wouldn't there be just as much chance of a child doing damage to the property that there would a dog!! I have bee lucky to find a person who had 2 holiday house close to a dog friendly beach and his houses are actually dog friendly. Dpgs are allowed inside, in the pool and he has not rules about the size or number of dogs. This is pet friendly!!! Are they in QLD?? If so can you PM me details as I would love something like that. When I can afford to take a holiday Keira!! im in!! :D

I have to say that my pups do play with the larger dogs and it terrifies me, especially cause they are constantly getting overpowered, there are alot of large dogs that havent been taught or learned that they need to be a bit careful, if i see any of those boisterous large ones i wont go into the dog park, that said i reserve my opinions until i see them play sounds like you have a wonderful natured girl

no im not, i have never covered his crate, ill get a sheet for that
