I really enjoyed my NDTF Course as it gave us the whole scope of dogtraining, but I did my course quite a few years ago now.... I have also done the Delta Course and found it quite frustrating at the end. I did this before the NDTF......

if the change has occurred suddenly there is often a reason.... Be it thyroid or pain. Some dogs like a lot of space when in pain and some family members do not know how to read dogs and get bitten. I would ask to see a Vet, behaviourist Vet and or behaviour Dog trainer, of which there are quite a few good ones now. One of our Dogs is a BC cross and she "grins", which with the uneducated people can get her into trouble....They think she is aggressive, she is not. So I taught her to "smile" on cue and that is the first thing we do when we meet and greet. This dog also li

I also think it depends on the Breed you want.... I have been lucky, because I am so active in my chosen breed I have been lucky enough to be that horrid person that jumps the waiting list. As people know me and my other dogs and all that we do with them and we sort of promote the breed....

I am not a Breeder and I purchase my Newfoundland dog Puppies from responsible breeders.... I have never ever put down a deposit. I pay for the puppy when I pick up the puppy. For my last two puppies, two year and about three years ago, I was inundated with lots of puppy pictures and videos. Now that we have such great cameras/phones I would think this was normal... please do not pay the full price until you are there to pick up your puppy. Have you had to sign a contract? Answer lots of questions and maybe even had to give some references if the person breeding the pup has never m

ha ha I spotted us :)

I do not interevere with play , unless it is too rough for the puppy and I take the puppy away or i say quiet, which my older dogs have learned means to slow down. i am only worried about injuries during rough play. I allow my older dogs to sort out the puppies if it is about toys or food. i find a lot of young dogs are too bombastic as we allow them to be the little treasures. As long at is only grumping and telling off, it is allowed at my place. it puts things back in order........My young dogs are very polite around other dogs and greet stranger dogs politley, because they have had the old

OK so reading all of this I will have to give my last three years experiences with medibank private and no I do not work for them. I ave 5 newfoundland dogs and one BC xGolden. I pay quite a lot amonth, just over the $200.00 now it will go up again in January BUT.........I have had a TPLO done on my Five year old and 80% ($4000.00) was paid out quickly. My Little BC cross had to have surgery after a dog attack and it was paid out 80% quickly......No questions asked straight into my account. But this year i also had my young newfie have an accident by going front feet into a rabbit hole and t

I do this with my newfie rescues, i could not get near their feet, but after some click and treat and slowly increasing what i do. i now get offered feet. i have six dogs, so that is 24 feet that need frequent checking. I can also pull ourt the seed and even pen it up more to get them out. I also use animal lintex which really helps if they have gone very deep. it is more like a poultice, We do daily check and also use the blower after each walk. A lot of work this year. But the dogs are so used to it now, they wait their turn....yummy treats is more important to them

We went, Informative and very entertaining :)

This is very true and in the 90's I have had it happen to one of my own....good to remember. I hardly worm mine now as we do manure checks and our worm counts have been very low

Green tripe also has the benifit of the gastric enzymes still within the lining, hence it has to be green unwashed and not the white stuff....My newfies also love horse poo and catle patties and like you i just let them enjoy it

Thank you for your reply.i will be in melbourne again and hope toget some

Looking forward to it

Goooooooo Jodie, she does an awesome job
