...don't want to make your dog fat with treats. Your puppy will associate the praise / treat with going to the toilet in the right place and will very quickly begin to learn that it will be rewarded with praise every time it goes to the loo in the right place. NEWSPAPER Many people like to put newspaper down to ensure that carpets or flooring are not ruined. Personally I do not like this method as sometimes the puppy can associate the newspaper with ......for a wee (while your dog is very young). I think it is a good idea to leave your dog in just one room overnight. This is because, if you give your puppy the run of the house, it could wee anywhere and you might not necessarily notice as it could dry before you realise what your puppy has done. At least with one room, you can check the floor easily to see if your toilet training is working. SIGNS MY PUPPY MY NEED THE TOILET The signs a puppy may ... Read review

Hi, I wanted to tell you my story about my amazing beautiful Border Collie Moby who is now 4 yrs old and lives with 2 other Border Collies. I have had Moby since he was 11 weeks old and is the most handsome loving slate Merle with bright blue eyes that makes him look a bit like a wolf! He was attacked when he was about 3 months old. Moby was walking in a wood with us. Unbeknown to us, a back gate had been left open on a neighbour's house and a ......came out towards Moby. Moby, being terrified tried to escape from the large dog who was biting him and he tried to get away into a garden where another 3 dogs also had a go at him. He was dragged by one of his legs underneath the gate of the house next door by the three dogs. There was much barking, growling and screaming. We were terrified and thought Moby was going to be killed. Moby had various superficial bites and an injured, mauled left leg ... Read review
Advantages: it worked but not needed Disadvantages: better understanding
My dog is 14 years old and although I have heard of the saying "you cannot teach old dogs new tricks" I knew we had to do something when he suddenly started barking a lot. My daughter had just had a baby and they are living with us and although my dog can be trusted, as far as any dog can be, with the baby he started barking a lot around her. My husband and son would say sternly stop barking which didnt do so good as my putting up my index finger ......and found just the thing. The Bark Collar Trainer is an ultrasonic training device that can help to reduce nuisance barking in your dog. It costs £19.99 plus postage and packaging but I thought that it would be worth it if it works. What it is is a collar which you attach a small black box to about the length of your thumb and about 1" thick. It runs by battery which comes supplied with it. The aim is that you put it on the dog and when he barks ... Read review
