I think LG said it well. So so sorry. Thoughts are with you.

Totally agree. I feel like the foster carer should not be using its issues as a selling point, and rather train the dog.. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Really? How cool :) You learn something new each day. I love DOL

That's exactly what I was thinking Erny....

Wow! He is very big! adorable photos

Thank you :) I bought one of their tunnels. I have needed one for a long time, so just cracked haha

Love it! He looks so relaxed haha

My thoughts exactly. The animals never deserve this.

Hahah love it!

I think an article is a great way to go. I don't think anyone here really knows about it, except the really dog savvy community (found places like this), but general people do not. I do not have dogs that need this, but I know of quite a few that would and if it became a widely known system it would be really good :)

Not always. In our house Indy is higher in the pecking order than Kira and she always submits to him but he knows he is not allowed to interfere with her food and she would never ever do it to him either. Once they have both finished they swap and lick each other bowls but only after the dog who was eating out of it has moved away of their own accord. Sounds like my house. They will always swap, but Kokoda who always finishes first will just sit back and wait for deniki.

Hahah I don't think that's too girly at all :) I love hairless dogs, not sure they're for everyone though ;) And I've always been worried about the skin care aspect of them.

If only he were little. For little dogs if you just put them into a baby jumpsuit type thing they can't get to it. Obviously have to take them for toilet breaks. But it is very effective. Maybe you could try the same with a shirt? I will be interested to see what Deniki does, he is being desexed next week. Hopefully he won't need a cone or jumpsuit haha ETA: they exist! Google medical pet shirt Who knew :)

My non water baby. He will just run along the shore line, play fetch with me, or wait until Kokoda comes out so he can be annoying and hang off his ears haha I love this one because if you look in the top right corner Kokoda is in the water haha And my water baby. In any water, any time he can. He slipped his harness once to jump into a creek we were walking past. I say once because then I bought a different harness because he knew how and it would have been a Disaster And while my friend was dog sitting him he chewed through his lead at a cafe to go play in a pond

I have! There is a man at Lennox head that has a pom and a chi type dog and he takes them for walks along the beach :) I have never sen it go near the water, but it walks along the sand just fine haha

Never thought of nutrigrain! used Cheerios (the cereal) once :)

My two love the beach :) One will swim, one doesn't like water haha But he stays shallow, as the waves can be big at times. Still gets paws off the ground though :)

KOKODA - teach weaves - get his BAAD title - work on tugging in high distraction environments - start training for an ET DENIKI - maybe enter an agility comp right at the end of the year But mainly just enjoy his adolescence and have some fun with tricks :) Both of them- work on their recalls- there is room for improvement :) ME - learn to handle (agility) haha - have more fun doing it and be less serious - walk them more often :)

Leftovers usually haha Or BBQ chicken :) Also have liver treats and ziwipeak. And sometimes just use raw meat if I am training at home.

:laugh: :laugh: that is brilliant :)

Thank you very much everyone! I Will pass on all of the suggestions, hopefully it helps him :) It was great learning a bit about all the other breeds too haha You can never know too much about dogs :)

I do :) Two of them actually! They are beautiful dogs :) I don't think he would own one, but he does love mine haha Potentially too girly for him. Doesn't help that my boy is a very "pretty" dog. Most don't look as girly as him haha he should have been a girl!

He lives near a dog beach, and walks there every morning. So his canine companion would accompany him for that. And maybe extra in the evenings apparently.

Whoops. Double post!

That was my suggestion too ;)
