Maybe a stop chew spray or dog repellent might keep her away from the cords :rolleyes:

Advance is a aussie made super premium food so it's definitely not the worst you could give your dog :rolleyes:

That sounds so cute. You'll have to get a pic of them on the chair

I've decided that when I die I want to come back as a dog belonging to a DOL member

I would imagine that the pal and chum ones are still better than those cheap 59cent homebrand ones that just say "dog meat" on them

No worries

Sorry for hijack, but WOW I never knew that! Goodluck convincing her otherwise anita

Ewwwww that's gross I couldn't imagine bathing my dogs once a year considering the amount of crap they roll in each day

Yay for Zach!!! He looks gorgeous and very proud of his new harness in that first pic @ the pic of them in the car. Congrats Kowai

@ Blacklab Wouldn't worry bout it alananddora.Quite normal as everyone else said. My three girls even have threeway humping sessions (hmmm is that rated R18+?? )

I treat mine all the same including Chopper.Chopper is highest amoung my dogs and the girls know that.Between the girls I don't know what the rank is.

Hi Ruth ;) Great news about your house I've recently started using this training method with my dogs, especially with Chopper who has DA issues.If I see another dog on or offleash I just keep walking at my fast pace with him by my side and I don't tense up or get nervous about the other dog as he would pick up on that energy.If he so much as puts his head up or his body goes stiff in an aggressive manner, I give him a quick jerk on his choke chain to correct the behaviour and to snap him out of it.After only a week of training he is already showing great signs of improvement Wow what a great step forward!! Give Choppy a treat for me

Awww I love your doggies Pitchick Well the training is going really well on the walks and already there's a huge difference in how much they pull.I even had a lady comment on how well behaved my dogs are while her OH was trying to put their out of control, barking, growling dog back on a lead.Mags and Chopper stayed right by my side and we continued walking I'm such a proud mummy

Thanks everyone!! Oh my poor babies don't know what they're in for..........Mwahahahahahah!

Thanks RnB BTW love the pic of your girl on rate my PB

My OH is backing you up completely on your method Pax.My problem is I just have to not feel so sorry for them if they don't get a walk. I'm such a sucker for those puppy eyes So if they do pull us out and we end up dragging them back inside how long do we wait before trying it again? Hour or two, next day?

Thanks Anita for your advice Will definitely be doing them separately. As for the morning or night, I think with my dogs it doesn't really matter because as soon as we put their harnesses on they get all crazy but we usually wait about 20mins until they're calmer before we leave.I'm thinking of maybe buying a treadmill for them to release some of that anxious energy before going for a walk too.Might help with training

Thanks Pax and Amhailte

That's what I was thinking about my lot

Sporn Halters are good at restraining dogs but you need to work out an appropiate training plan with your OH. I am also not sure of Cesar Milans method but aslong as you and your OH are consistent with your rewards and corrections you will start to see improvement quite quickly. It can be done but it is harder to correct and reward both dogs, especially if one is behaving and one is pulling. Thanks for your advice Jeff :D If only it happened overnight but I will try be really persistent with it

Thanks poodlefan. Since I only hold two dogs at a time do you think it could be done with two at a time, say using a training lead?

Umm... currently not really doing anything (my bad ) We use sporn halters on them which helps and if they pull to much OH usually yanks the lead and swears at them(not the best training method I know :D ) I've been watching the way Cesar Millan(not sure if your familiar with) trains them to stop pulling and to me it seems like the way best for my dogs to learn so I will be doing it that way

Hi evryone, So my dilemmas are- Our dogs are very strong pullers on our walks.I hold 2 and my OH holds the other 2.Even just getting out the front door and gate proves very tricky as I have to try not to get dragged down the front stairs. Inside the house I've now started training them not to go out doors before me and it's been quite effective so I will be training them at the front door too. I'm just not sure if I should train all four dogs at the same time or do them separately? What works better?
