the flexi lead for dogs

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...My friend’s dad has got a couple of dogs and a few weeks ago he decided to get them some new collars…….simple enough you would think. But, the choice is quite difficult as there are quite a few on the market. The flexi lead is great for bigger and stronger dogs as my friend’s dad’s are. It gives the handler much more control over the dog via the lead. The handler can use the lead to keep the dog as far or as near as he/she wants. You use your thumb to stop the lead from expanding. It’s great for when your in a busy area and therefore need more control over the dog and if you want to bring the dog back to you can do quite effortlessly. You are given a lot of control. So, when I took the dog out for a walk it was good for both me and the dog The dog has much more distance he could go...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

Flexi Leads: A Training Aid - not a substitute

Advantages: Allows gradual, controlled socialisation
Disadvantages: can cause injury if not used correctly

...I have read the reviews on dooyoo regarding these and agree whole-heartedly with what they say. So why am I doing a review of my own? - to give another perspective. The flexi lead is not a long term solution to an aggressive dog or one that will not come back when recalled. It is however proving to be an invaluable training aid. We adopted a dog from a rescue kennels in March. A collie/german shepherd cross, Rebel was seven months old. Born in the kennels he was briefly homed at 10 weeks but returned to the kennels at three months old. When we adopted him, he was totally untrained, had very little experience of the world, and had not been socialised with other dogs at all. At the kennels the dogs were kept in a kennel on their own, his only experience of other dogs were his neighbours throwing themselves at the door of their...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

Take the lead is not to be missed

Advantages: a great film, a must see, can watch with boyfriends etc.
Disadvantages: none really,

...Take the lead is a film that will touch the hearts of all people, a story about how one man goes against the labelling that others have done and against all odds turns the troublesome teenagers around. Antonio Banderas, who plays the main character, a dance teacher turns up at a school to deal witht the students who are segregated from the rest dur to bad behaviour, he faces many challenges and even has his beloved bike vandalised. but he continues and would not give up. he atempts to show the teenagers that there is more to life than the darker sides such as violence and drugs, he teaches them that dance is about passion, love and inner beauty. initially they are not interested but they soon change their minds and compete. in my opinion this is a film which should not be missed, it can be enjoyed by people of all ages although some...

Review of Take The Lead (DVD)

Lead stations deluxe food.

Advantages: Fantastic food
Disadvantages: High number of lesbians (if you don;t like that type of thing)

...The lead station is located in Chorlton a couple of miles outside the city centre but not too far. Chorlton is one of the nicest areas in South Manchetser and the lead station is located in the posh part of Chorlton! I first went to the lead station with my current boyfriend and some friends for the first time. I had heard quite a lot of reviews about it but had never actually been myself. People raved on about how good the food was and could even name specific dishes I should try. Others had prewarned me that there are a fair share of gay people that go in there, namely gay women. This didn't phase me at all as I regularly go out in the gay village in Manchester and I am not homophobic in the least. My first impressions as I walked in were 'what a classy venue', the decor is lovely it seemed to have a really relaxed atmosphere...

Review of Take The Lead (DVD)

May I have this dance, homey?!

Advantages: Dancing, feel good factor
Disadvantages: Could have been so much better

...Take The Lead is an enjoyable dance film much in the same vein as films such as 'Step Up' and 'Save The Last Dance'. It encompasses a decent storyline with some outrageous dance moves and a feel good factor as icing on the cake. My wife and I have wanted to watch this for a couple of years and we finally got the chance the other night. The film follows a familiar mold where a school contains a number of promising young pupils but no one has managed to press the right buttons to gain their full potential. We see ballroom dance tutor Pierre Dulaine, who approaches the school's principal, offering his services to the pupils of the school as a dance tutor to teach them discipline and respect, among other things. Initially, he is met with hostility from all around, no less the pupils themselves, but soon, there is an amazing...

Dancing from the ghetto

Advantages: Banderas, storyline, feel good factor
Disadvantages: None

...and hardcore rap music. We get a much clearer view of the characters' day to day struggles but mainly they focus on Rock and the lead female LaRhette who both have problems with one another and are urged to sort them out on the dance floor. There are some very powerful scenes of what these guys have to endure and how some have come about ending up on what is seen as the wrong path. The aim to all of this dancing is for the kids to compete in a dance competition alongside more well-off and experienced dancers, and through the determination of Pierre the kids manage to get up to a standard where they will be able to compete and show off what skills they have gained. Throughout there are many laughs as we get to see what happens when people who would not always mix do so. Relationships begin to form within the group and barriers are dropped...

Never follow

Advantages: Banderas, the mix of ballroom dancing and hip-hop, overcoming real life struggles
Disadvantages: None

...- Jenna Dewan Eddie - Marcus T. Paulk Kurd - Jonathan Malen Caitlin - Lauren Collins Monster - Brandon D. Andrews Egypt - Jasika Nicole Big Girl - Shawand McKenzie I've wanted to see this for ages as I used to do many types of dancing including ballroom and so I love any dancing film. But I only actually got around to eventually seeing it when its preview was on TV recently. Take the Lead has a similar style of plot to that which has been done in many other movies such as Coach Carter, where an unlikely person goes in to help a group of teenagers who seem like they have nothing in common, and both end up learning a lot in the process. The film, which is based on a true story, tackles many true life issues including the struggles of families and teenagers living in the slums and having to deal with problems such as drugs...

Let's dance!

Advantages: brilliant performance
Disadvantages: none

...After a few comedies I wanted a more serious film, so I watched Take the Lead. It was a drama inspired by a true story. I have just realised that this film was made in 2006. It was directed by Liz Friedlander. The classification is 12 years and over. Main roles: Antonio Banderas as Pierre Dulaine Alfre Woodard as Augustine James Rob Brown as Rock Dante Basco as Ramos John Ortiz as Mr. Temple Jenna Dewan as Sasha Yaya Da Costa as LaRhette Laura Benanti as Tina Story Pierre Dulaine is a respected teacher in a dance school. He teaches ballroom dance. On his way home he is eye witness of a car injury. Rock hit a car then gets out the owner?s identity card from the car then tries to run away. He crashes into Pierre and loses the identity card. Pierre realises that it belongs to a school?s principal so next day he enters the school...

Theres chocolate in these bread rolls

Advantages: really tasty
Disadvantages: fattening

...Pain aux chocolat Hands up who likes chocolate. We visited France this year and I consume several of these chocolate bread buns. The better ones coming from bakers in villages not the major supermarkets. Theses have not been available in England till recent years and I miss the thrill of visiting forieng countries and finding foods I am not familiar with at home, I think these taste better in France than in England any way. So let me describe a pain aux chocolate also called a chocolatine we found in the South west of France. The translation of the French name literally is chocolate bread. Pain aux chocolate is made with Brioche dough which is buttery bread dough. This is rolled out to a rectangle then chocolate pieces a bit like chocolate drops, sprinkled on to it. The dough then rolled up Swiss roll like and baked...
