    Place Boards, gundog people?

    If long pointy can fold his giant frame on to my plastic ones you are being far too generous to a lab puppy unless it's arse is the size of a small country 🤣

    Place Boards, gundog people?

    I buy cheap plastic half steps off amazon (just search mobility aid, half step they're about £12) . I find them invaluable for starting heel, making it really clear where the position is and .also for handling. I do all my handling off them to start, using food bowls to send to. A dog with a...
