My farrier told me that all the horsey products for hooves were a waste of money. He told me to just go and buy a bottle of moisturiser and use that. I bought a bottle for 99p and applied it to his hooves daily while it was dry ( didn't bother when it was wet obviously).

Yawning when not tired is a sign of stress, as is panting when they aren't hot or tired from exercise. My two will both pant and yawn when they need to go out to toilet.

Storm is still doing 2o2o. I want to make sure the act of going right to the bottom of the contacts is well and truly proofed before he progresses to not pausing on them.

Copied with permission from the friend of a friend. A bit long but makes for interesting reading. Drayton Michaels: Has anyone on this thread been in the entertainment industry for real? If you have then you’ll understand if not then well maybe you won’t. Leah is on to something with the...

There is never any excuse or reason to use punishment, aversives, prong, shock, or anything else when working with dogs. Dogs are not out to be aggressive and cause harm just for the sheer hell of it. Aggression problems are due to fear and using punishment etc isn't going to help that dog feel...

He bloody well deserved it the stupid, ignorant fool! Holly is not an aggressive dog. She was giving off a whole host of calming signals to try and diffuse the situation and avoid any conflict but CM hasn't a clue what he's doing so her attempts at keeping the peace went straight over his head...

My boy is 26yr old and still in work. He was doing fine on the feed he was on (hi-fi original, bailey's economy cubes & mix). I just decided one day that maybe he should be on a feed designed for older horses so switched the bailey's feeds for the dodson & horrel 16+ cubes and mix. Everything...

First off, how much water is he drinking? It seems strange that he's got a constant supply of pee on tap. My two boys are entire and when they go for a walk only the first so many leg cocks produce pee before they empty their bladders and only secrete scent from then on which you can't see but...

To produce them I first draw all the outline etc onto paper and then transfer it onto the computer. I use a graphics tablet and pen to do all the colour work in photoshop. It's the same as drawing on a sheet of paper using the tablet but the image is on the screen rather than the surface the pen...

I'm hoping to get them onto giftwares such as mugs, car stickers etc once I have enough breeds. The shepherd is indeed from working lines. He does schutzhund although I don't know what level he is at.

Here are some of my digital paintings. I will do any animal but am only posting dogs here with it being the dog forum. Enjoy :) Stormy Waters Montydog German Shepherd Kath

Teaching a dog to walk properly on lead takes time and effort. There are no quick fixes for this. All the methods mentioned above are effective but do take time. Montydog started pulling like a train until I spent the time training him before the pulling became established. It took me an hour to...

Here's Bash jumping 3'10" in chase me charlie back in august aged 25yrs. He was competing in SJ every week during the summer months. We were in the lead in the SJ points comp at our local venue until the last show where he unfortunately pulled a muscle or something and had to withdraw so lost...

Those two idiots who tried to start riots via facebook got 4 years in prison and they didn't kill anyone. It's a total and utter joke! I think judges just pull sentences out of a hat!

I've got 2 BC's and wouldn't be without them.Their intelligence and work ethic are second to none. My two aren't the neurotic headcases that people think all BC's are. It's unfortunate that they've been given this tag due to people who have little to no experience of the breed and their high...
