I had my trailer made by WA Horse Floats about 8 years ago. It was expensive as it is built very strong (first one was hit at 100km/hr and held shape and all 7 dogs survived). So he made the next one with thicker steel in it. Saying this it is heavier than a lot of dog trailers. But there are now a couple of people who are making them over here. Karen with Rottweilers, her husband/partner has made a couple that look quite good. But most people bring them over from the eastern states. Maybe try to find someone driving back who could tow one back for you. Good luck, good ones are quickly sold over here.

Thanks for all the replies. I will be forwarding them all onto my brother to try and help him. I do know that most of the labs current treatment (Ie muzzle etc) has been recommended by the vets (and they have taken her to several) as her stomach was pumped so many times in such a short period that they needed to get it to stop to allow her body to recover. Anyway hopefully they will take it on board and try some of the suggestions. Thanks again!!

She is currently fed Eukanuba as her primary diet. She used to have a range of toys to play with but these have now had to be replaced by Kongs as she manages to eat a part of any other toy they give her. She is generally walked once a day in the morning and is inside with them when they are home. She is outside during the day as they work, which has now been restricted to being fenced onto the patio area so that she doesn't eat mulch, plants and anything else she can find. The information they were given by the breeder (who I would prefer not to name) states that if the pup gets to around the 8 month age and is uncontrollable then don't bother contacting them as obviously they haven't bothered training the dog properly, so they are not keen on contacting the breeder as they feel the breeder will say they have failed the dog. I have spoken to them about training and she knows how to sit, drop, etc (and I have seen her do these) so they have given her basic training but not anything advanced. Again any help is appreciated.

My brother has a labrador pup thats now around 8 months old. She has a habit of eating anything and everything she can get hold of, from socks to tv remotes to garden mulch. The vets are running tests to find out if its an imbalance of some sort but currently they have to have a metal muzzle on her at all times (she ate the material one they bought) to stop her from eating anything in the house. She has already been operated on once to remove an obstruction in her bowels and over the 2 weeks following this was down at the vets to have her stomach pumped on 4 occassions due to her eating random items. They can no longer take her for walks as she eats anything she can find on the street (hence why the muzzle has now been purchased). Has anyone heard of anything similar as she is a sweet girl except for this one behaviour.
