Thanks everyone. Ill speak to OH and see what he wants to do. Puppy plays lovely in the park with other dogs, no barking, growling etc, just good honest doggy play. In this little hall he just barks and pulls and becomes overwhelmed (as do the other dogs) then his brain fries and nothing good...

We might try one more session and then see. They have the same methods but different ways of rewarding I guess. An example being down and stay. The woman said the reward was for the dog to lie down and relax while the man asked the owners to bring them back up to sit once relaxed in the down and...

I was just interested in peoples thoughts about group puppy training? Personally, I think we are doing very well with out Border Terrier puppy. He is 17 weeks old and can do all the basics, sit, stand, down, wait, stay etc an he gives a paw and high five. He is great in his crate, happy to be...

Thank you Auslander, much appreciated.

Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me with the vaccination schedule for Nobivac L4 and Nobivac DHP? Doesn't matter how much I google I just cannot find the answer! So far puppy had his first jabs at 8 weeks and is just coming up to his next lot at 12 weeks. Is that the end of the jabs? Some...

I have a few and love them all!

Making the decision was actually harder than doing it. I was dreading handing him over, but it actually fell right. He popped on the trailer ready and raring to go onto his next adventure. I have a really busy week coming up and I genuinely feel like a massive weight has been lifted that I...

He has gone to his new loan home tonight :( I feel sad about it but also relieved. I know its for all the right reasons. To cheer myself up I have booked a weekend at Champney's, which I could never afford before.

I have another viewing tonight with a (hopefully) more suitable person. I also have 3, yes 3 others wanting to meet him too, so I am hoping that this weekend we will found our perfect loan home :) Please cross everything for us.

Everything crossed all round :)

Well I have another viewing over the coming weekend with a much more suitable sounding lady. Please wish me luck.

It sounds over complicated to me. If I were you I would stick with free riding!

I would speak to the owner and find out what the costs would be. My pony is on assisted DIY at a nice yard and all in for the year with the cost spread monthly, I pay about £350 a month. I probably then pay another £50 a month on fuel. This doesn't include anything more than the basics and...

Do you know what the cost would be to full loan the horse? You realise that all of the horses care would be your sole responsibility, which is a big thing in winter. Is that cost and time worth being the only one to ride the horse?

When I sold a Haflinger years ago, I had a phone call from a gentleman who said it was his daughters birthday and she wanted my pony. I asked about hers and their experience and he said not to worry, they have a large garden. I explained that you cant keep a large animal in a garden to which he...
