The easiest pups we've ever had, ex ept those we bred ourselves, are the 2 Labs we have now whose breeder allowed them free access to the garden along with their dam and 2 other adult dogs who modelled doing the right thing as a matter of course. It did help that they were summer pups.
The dog I...
But imo that wasn't overthinking, it was you knowing your horse but being let down by professionals. One problem is that even equine vets, these days, don't necessarily have the background to 'know' horses instinctively.
Over the years sister and I have become more and more minimalist in our approach to horse-keeping. Our current horses have never been shod, live out 24/7 with shelter available, on unimproved pasture and are fed only grass in one form or another.
We arrived at this point because we have had...
When we got the brown one at 5 and a bit months she wasn't reliably clean in the house, some of that was inconsistent training, I think and the upset of changing homes set her back. But she got there in the end.
It is usually possible to get a mini statement from an ATM linked to your bank without needing to go to the bank if its not convenient. It will show the last 6? transactions.
I wouldn't shout no at a 4 month old pup but if I saw her start to squat I would say "no, outside" in a voice to encourage her out. Out and in are 2 of the words ours learn early on.
It's no good saying no if you don't see her start to squat, timing is everything.
You've had good advice already that I can't really add to but just wanted to say a friend was beginning to despair about her 1st dog's toilet training. She is a very clever Lab and didn't have far to go to get outside but she was about 6 months old before it suddenly seemed to click. Stick with it!
How incredibly rude!
I should take a few days to mull over your response and then write back with evidence, such as the entry on your bank statement and explain that you do not appreciate being lied to or being told that you have made up your allegations. I assume that you have kept the request...
If you've had the trees felled and picked up last year's seedlings, it is unlikely that there will be anymore. Unless I've misunderstood the timelines.
We've had 3 felled this year and we've only found a very few seedlings from last autumn's seeds although there were loads the year before, which...
And when I listened to the local weather forecast this morning, the forecaster said it would be windy later :oops:. It was blowing a gale at the time and there was no mention of a weather warning or named storm, so I'm not sure how much windier it's going to get!
I'm just hoping that the...
