Hi guys, I've recently taken over as head groom for a family. Their last groom used to feed laminaze to the ponies. I've tried to find the info on ingredients and I can't see a thing. I just wanted to check that it offers more benefits than a normal mineral supplement or whether it's just a...

Hi guys! Hope you've all been enjoying the sun! I've just got back from hacking out. To get to off road hacking, I have to cross over a busy main road, that is supposedly a 40 but people drive much faster along it. I was out with another livery. I always get off to cross this road, as they...

Thank you for this. I think it would definitely benefit him. My biggest fear is making it worse for him or making him more aggressive and so I think getting a third party expert in is probably the best way to go. He is the most delightful easy going and loving dog with me and his "inner circle"...

He sort of has the same thing but if someone he doesn't know looks at him in the eye. I know to never look a strange dog in the eye but I think some people naturally make eye contact and that makes him react! I think it is just a case of removing him from stressful situations. Thank you!

Thank you for your advice. You didn't come across as abrupt at all! It just seems you are very knowledgeable about this and I can appreciate that cluelessness can be mind boggling haha! Will give that a go thank yoi

Hey there! In regards to the puppy, do you have any idea how he may add to the anxiety? It may be that he is protective of him or? They get on relatively well. They've never fought or anuthing, but the puppy is a bit like an annoying little brother to Barney at times haha. Car wise if...

Yes you are completely right. I think that I need to be more assertive with people as for whatever reason they seem to push it when I say "oh he's not friendly and quite nervous" and they go down to him. Realistically I should say "don't touch him he bites" and then assumedly they will back off...

Hey there! He's 3 years old. Yes after the postman incident I have bought a letter box to go on the gate so there is not need for them to come to the door. Usually he is closed away when the doorbell rings but unfortunately managed to get out. It's interesting you say this about walking...

Thank you for this. I have thought about the yellow coat options. If no one touches him or interacts with him he is fine!!

My dog is the sweetest dog with myself and his close friends. But he has always been territorial around the house, and not keen on strangers touching him, especially men. He has never bitten anyone but he did bite the postman's bag and often he growled and sort of run at strangers as if he was...

Thank you everyone! The day went very well. The girl.who was "showing me the ropes" was the weekend girl and said she would definitely recommend me so fingers crossed! xxxx 💓

Restricted turnout is a big no for me. I believe that they need to be out for atleast half of their time so for that reason I would pick yard 1. Although bringing in down a road in the dark sounds unbelievably dangerous I just admit xx

Hi there! I have a trial day for a new grooming job tomorrow and I'm absolutely bricking it! I'm not sure.what the is going to consist of but I am there from 9-4 so it's a decent amount of time. All I know is that the clients have family coming over so pony activities are wanted. I was...
