The New Dog Laws
Do you have an opinion on the new dog laws and do you think they are enough?
Understand your Border Collie
Short coated, prick eared, tri coloured, amber eyes, blue/red merle, half white face, blue eyes. So many variations and each one carries its own characteristics and energy levels.
Cruelty in classes
There is absolutely no excuse for a 'trainer' to use a prod collar on a client's dog and drag it around until it is yelping. This was not big, was not aggressive it just pulled on a lead.
Are You Feeding the Right Diet?
If you are happy with the food and your dog is healthy and contented then you probably are. But there will be someone somewhere who will tell you that you are wrong.
Keeping Calm
Dogs pick up on the slightest change in our mood or our thoughts and sometimes that is all a deaf dog has to go on
