My friend recently did her motorcycle test and they have an hour of training about how to drive around horses, i've often found motorcyclists to be better on the roads than most other users so this is probably why! Better than the 30 seconds or so in the car driving training...

Oh forgot to add a photo...waiting for some treats last night (excuse the half painted cupboards!)

Thank you everyone :) as an aside - she does see me clean it up, I didn't know that was a thing either! She's not worried about being in the garden either as she loves to go out there and will sit by the door if she wants to, I just want her to do that when she needs a wee 😅 I definitely think...

Yes she will go if I say 'go for a wee!' bit long winded but it made her go the first few times so I've stuck with it :D

🥳 I'll keep persevering with letting her out more and being over the top with praise - i'll get her some tastier treats as well so it's more worth her while to go outside. Luckily she loves treats anyway but i'm sure I can find something even more exciting!

You could be onto something with the litter situation as they hadn't really done any toilet training other than letting them out on to the decking to wee - we have floorboards inside. She definitely doesn't understand bad behaviour but she does understand an 'ah-ah!' I will start to employ this...

Thank you, it's hard when all you read is to not react :D I do redirect her outside each time so we've got that bit down already.

Because she's still only young and it's what all the advice says to do, I can only go off what I read and speak to people about!

Great thank you, I'll get that sorted with the vet. I'll also try making her space smaller and taking her out more. That's reassuring to hear Pearlsasinger! She's so clever and has learned everything so quickly so I'm just surprised with how long this appears to be taking! I'll go back to...

It is in either room and not really in the same place each time. I do clean with an enzyme cleaner but yes I may need to do a better job! That could be a good shout, I'll speak to the vets. No real spot that she used to wee in, we didn't use newspaper or puppy pads as she just ate them :D so...

Hello everyone, I've posted a couple of times about my English Setter puppy and she's mostly been a delight (sharp teeth though!) However we're having a few difficulties with toilet training so I was looking for any tips from all you knowledgeable AAD people :) She's so smart and picks up...

Our fields were dry enough to be rolled this weekend and they look great, opened up the other side so they could have more grass, allowed to go out every day, all very promising. Get up this morning and turn out, just got back home and the heavens have opened :( sorry Buzz!

Eland BE is cancelled this weekend as well, I was planning on going to watch.

Thank you :) I rarely hacked long or far (especially without boots nor with giant hills!) so it's interesting to see if this is what he needs.

I just want to come back to this as I've been doing quite a bit of hilly road work without boots on...could this cause flares to develop? I've noticed he's got flares to the inside of both front feet. We've recently switched to a new farrier some I'm unsure if all my previous farriers have...
