how do you spell wheaton....is it like that?

i have to groom a wheaton terrier or what ever they are called on the weekend and was wondering if anyone has some tips as ive never groomed one...aparently he is pretty knotted!!!

Yep.. from the vet. They have a conditioner too ;) just so you know you can get it from pet produce places and also from off the net!!! :rolleyes:

i wash them every two weeks fergy is some times more often as he has bad skin...n stinks fast

aw poor nan hope shes ok...im sure she didnt the right thing!!!

awww poor boss... sorry rachie u ok? RIP Boss man

yeah i agree...go for it just be sure of what you are using something of good quality thats suitable for puppies!!!

thanx for all ur replies guys there were some ideas we already have in place and some that are new and fresh we are are a very diverse club with atleast 150 people a week but it always seems to be the same ones turning up....and not many stick around to attempt trialing ect....i will get mum to put a few ideas t the board next meeting!!!CHEERS!!!

ask her nicely???? LOL....seriously i have no idea our dogs eat anything we put in their bowls!!

abbey thats terrible so sorry RIP bella

hmmmm well that could be a huge issue....will have to look into it...the idea may not be viable after all!!

ok guys our club needs some tips on boostng numbers/keeping people there to continue training right throu there dogs lifes!!! most tend to think there dogs are fully trained and know all they need to know after 12-16 weeks and they never come back!!! just wonder if anyone has any ideas on how to keep people coming back and how to boost our club numbers!!!

thanx heaps for the offer SnT but im in newcastle.... we have a great club here but me and mum feel that if we get the owners in when they are younger we will boost our membership rates and also try and convince people to stick with the club as there dogs get older and participate in some doggy sports

thanx for the chemical names thats a huge help...we will be able to print out/write out our own hand outs.....and will work on some food/flea/worming reps THANK U

hi guys just wonderin if anyone here is involved with the setting up/structuring of puppy preschool classes? the obedience club i go to are considering holding classes as at the moment we only start dogs from 16 weeks in basic obedence. There is a huge need for it in the area i feel as alot of vets are holding ones that are...welll....CRAP, some of the vet nurses wouldnt even know which is there left foot . The first thing im sure that will be suggested is a clean area which is fine we have a huge room out the back of the club house that could easily be cleaned with the apropriate chemicals prior to class so if any on is involved and can help me out with what you think a good class needs your advise would be very much apperciated!!! and if anyone knows where you get the little puppy packs that they give out that would be awesome!! thanx in advance!!!

sorry ive only just read this i been offline for three weeks....sorry you had to do what you had to do choppa....it couldnt have been an easy desicion..... RIP pretty girl

hi guys thanks for everyones help levi now knows that when i say mat that he has to go straight on his mat!!!! and the lead work is getting better at the moment hes on a soft martingale but am going to invest i think in an all chain one after hes learnt how to walk on his lead abit better.

guess it just depends on preference i wouldnt swap group training for anything but thats just me!!!

thanx K9 how do the martigales that are all chain go any better than the chain with nylon? he is crate trained and last night he slept his first night OUT of my room (his crate used to be in my room) and he went well hes a real big sook probably cause i made him tht way but hes getting better when hes inside of a day he has a matt he is ment to lie on i just cant get him to stay there very long unless hes buggered guess i just need to keep working on it after all he is only 5 months!!!

kool thank i will have a look at one of those....

ok so basically im trying to teach levi that lounges and chairs are for humans n cats not for big boof heads so i got him a mat today one of those cushion ones and i am trying to teach him to stay on it any tips on this process would be greatly appreciated!!! also i'd love some tips on lead training, basically he will heal, sit, and drop in perfect position, but this is only with the lead OFF you put the lead on and he is a different dog, ive tried a check chain and he choked himself ive tried a soft collar and he choked himself, this is with me trying to motivate him with a food or toy he is just constantly pulling, have him currently on a gentle leader and he hangs his head and hates it despite my best efforts of keeping him motivated. Any suggestions for how to get him to like his lead? and what would the best collar/check chain to use on a big boof head or should i just keep trying with a check chain?

why would ur dog not be acepted at a dog obedience club, plenty of anti social dogs at the dog training i attend, and im still curious as to wether u are still rehoming this dog ?

i thought u were rehoming ur dog?

OMG kristy im so sorry i dont personally know u or your babies but im seriously sitting hear with tears, im in shock and really dont have anything to say that could possibley help with your pain, i hope hunta is ok and with time u and OH heal.... RIP BARKER
