Awww great shots, you need to come to Melbourne and take photos of Boodzey!

Oh...My...God...the cutest thing!

I'd say he's been encouranged, he had that live chat feed and quite a few mentions in all the stories that I read. How can they have two totally different stances on the matter?

Love what she wrote, is the opposite to what Hugh has been saying though.

So sorry ILDD

So sorry Indigirl RIP Ripley

So sorry MsJ RIP Roggie

:rolleyes: so cute. Boodzey also love toilet paper and the empty cardboard rolls

I used to do alot of heal work with Trix but nowadays she is older, she is very good in lead, I prefer to let her sniff around etc after all I am taking HER for a walk. I remember one of my NDTF trainers saying that when a dogs sniffs around on a walk it is like them reading the newspaper how would you like it if you where half way through the paper and someone yanked it off you. I also have Trix off alot on her walks so she gets to wander around and sniff things.

I am so sorry Danios RIP Angs

We get a tube of sunscreen for Boodzey from Mega Pet Warehouse. It works fine its just getting it on him! not his favourite thing. We just put it on his nose, muzzle, ears and belly as he likes to sunbake on his back (all the pink bits)

Any news Kyra? Hope it all went well and its good news.

Trixie does this too. Its funny though because some days I will put my runners on and she knows and starts going crazy but other times I put the same runners on (with no intention of taking her for a walk) and she doesn't do anything! Its weird I swear she can read my mind!

Trix knows the word move, if she is in my way I say move and she will take a few steps back. They know what dinner and walkies mean. Trix jumps into my arms when I call her with my arms spread (cant even remember how that started) When I was training Trix when we first got her (I was 12) I didn't realise that when going through commands you should break them up. So whenever I would ask Trix to sit she would automatically sit, then shake, then drop, then roll onto her back

I've got a Fuji film Finepix z which is supossed to be 10 mexapixels. But I find the image quality pretty crappy too. Some of the photos on my phone (which is 5 megapixels) are better. But I bought it in Thailand so I cant exactly take it back. Dont know if that relates to you at all :D but thought maybe as a brand they are not so good....

Thanks for everyones advice. I think it is most likely the bolded scenario....and it seems to be a residual problem as most of the other issues have diminished.

thanks It would be so much better if I at least knew why she was doing it, that way I could work on it.....

Thanks Ruthless, I had a quick read but it sounds a bit different to what Trix does. Also I try to pay attention to what body language I am giving her so I know she is not feeding any anxiety off me. She is not aggressive at all while approaching or sniffing its only if I put any tension on the lead. If I wait and let her walk off at her own pace she is fine.

Thanks persephone So how would you go about stopping the behaviour?

Just wanting peoples thoughts on this. Trix used to have alot of dog aggression issues which started after she was attacked by 3 JRTxs. She is much better now and although this isn't really too much of an issue nowadays I am still curious as to why she does this. When I have her on lead and she approches another dog/dog approaches her, she will have a sniff and all will seem fine until I call her away or tug on the lead even only slightly. As soon as there is any tension on the lead she will growl and put a paw over the other dog showing her dominance and sometime snap at it. This doesn't happen much these days as she is much better but mostly because I take her to off lead areas. She is perfectly fine off lead, she mostly ignores other dogs but will have a sniff and then keep trotting along. It is only when I have her on lead. I have thought that it could be her being possessive of me but she doesn't seem to mind the dog being close until I go to call her away. Anyway just wondering what others thought of this...

OMG is she ok pittylover?

allllsssssooooo we'd love to see some piccies.......

So sorry for your loss Ellz

I've recently switched Trix to Eagle Pack Adult reduced fat formula. Has anybody else used the reduced fat one before?? Did you have good results. I would like to get Trix on Artemis after Eagle Pack is all gone, anyone used it before?

Too cute! Love the second last pic
