I agree with S&M's post . Claudia is a dog . Your daughter deserves to toddle about/climb on yr lap/the couch without anyone worrying about the dog's reaction From that post , it seems Claudia is resource guarding the most precious resource - HUMANS . Excluding her at times is good management - you're the decision makers, not HER ;)

I was sniffly all thru .. wanted to adopt a couple of the prisoners, & keep them safe ! Wishing everyone involved a life without cruelty and powerlessness... For those who haven't seen it : http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/prisoners-and-pups/DO1521S001S00#

Don't normally share any of PiTA's stuff ... this one, however ...

Those poor little babies ....death by freezing .

Oh , that is so sad I can't think of much .. except maybe a return of illness - perhaps a tumour somewhere now ? if many aspects of life are untenable to her , and have you walking on eggshells .. that is not what living with dogs is all about, and , thos heartbreaking , I believe euthanasia has its place here. yes, it is what I would do /have done .

I think it did do good .. they tended to be a lot more wary around lizards ..... snakes do have a scent ... I suppose dogs can smell "snake" on a body , too ...

Hmm..in the past , I have used a bucket of water , a dead snake .... and the surprise factor . It ended with dogs doing a wide detour , wherever snake was placed ....

Grandma ( deceased) CAILLIE and Grandson Puddy ...

Gopro is ideal for you & the hounds

Agree .

oh ..you've already spent yr money ... I like the look of this one for an older small dog .. dog can lie normally .. there is excellent air flow - with Summer coming up! https://www.preferpets.net/products/328-pet-backpack

Awww.. even with a vet visit , outcome would probably be the same . Not 'bad' people ...and not a 'bad' dog ... just a sad story

....of course, now the PB is being deemed devil dog again ..

Horrible, whatever the circumstance .

@Her Majesty Dogmad get the person to join this group nice folks, and lots of opportunities . https://www.facebook.com/groups/bypsales/

Awwww..she looks so lovely , - I hope you will both love each other ..

Of course it needs addressing!! the dog needs an examination by a vet ...it needs to be checked by a behaviourist as well. TRYING to 'help' may cause more damage . if you are simply trying to establish dominance .. and the dog is suffering with a medical problem .. it will be painful for everyone Unless YOU are a qualified trainer/behaviourist ... pls recommend a professional . You are asking for trouble . there are many out there , cheap services, fancy names, flashy websites ... leave'em alone. Pay the extra to see someone vouched for . THIS person is one I've heard of ... if the owners cannot , or will not pay for even one consultation ... then , yes PTS is the best option, before things get messed around with. ... You are kind to offer help - but dominance is NOT always the way to go .

Awww... he will be so loved You have given him such good preparation .

and Don , disembowelling poor toy monkey .....

Mary Mary Goat .... (the ear fashion statement ... flap created by one of the dogs who objected to their food being stolen )..

YES!!! there was a very good reason why the swaggies/alcoholics/ knobby-knee'd kids /widows, of years gone by usually had dogs .Those dogs were a part of life ..they provided different things to their owners, depending . Back when The Boss & I were quite young, we had a yellow lab . She used to always 'tell on us' , if we went somewhere/did something wrong/not safe - she'd race off & tell Mum ......... *sigh*

An oldie but a goodie ..I remember Darcy Rest well, Old Fella ... So sorry poocow.

those photo links are PDF ..which means they need to be downloaded ,then opened ? She is very sweet

If you maybe start a new thread in 'General' asking for recommendations for BAER testing in Adelaide .. that way you will hopefully be told of the ones folks here know of or have used best of luck with it .. ( oh ..and we really need Ragamuffin photos !!!!! <3 ) owners of really cute pups are compelled to post pics :P
