If all else fails, pinch her ear or lip - she then will realise that when she bites, you "bite" back. It doesn't have to be hard,just enough to get her attention... T.

I used to skip any meal due before a car trip to reduce vom bombs... T.

Neocort has a topical anaesthetic in it... you could try that. T.

I just leave the back door open for mine, and they can come and go as they please through the night... ... except Harper who is crated overnight - but she has no trouble holding on... T.

Give her a large wing and back off to an observation only distance... she's scoffing the darned things because she's worried you might take it away from her... You can easily get from one side of the yard to the other in time to assist if she does something silly. I'll guarantee that if you throw her a wing and stay away from her, she'll be just fine... I have over 200 raised pups to back me up on that one, OK? Do NOT give her necks if she's got a habit of not chewing properly! T.

Are you hovering about her while she eats? That will make her try to eat faster... stay a reasonable distance while you observe. T.

Nawww... Stan is such a handsome boy... Happy gotcha Day Stan... may your dreams come true and mum leaves the fridge or cupboard door open today! T.

So many places and events are becoming anti-dog nowadays... how the hell does anyone think dogs can get decent social skills training now? T.

Sounds like they are getting the idea now Sheridan... well done! T.

Old dog barks aren't that loud really though, are they? T.

Look at his huge feet! Got a good grip on the planet - that's for sure! T.

Well done Sheridan! He'll love his walks more if he's allowed to check out some smells and the like for a little bit of the first part... I did find that mine settled down after the initial excitement of being out and about in the big wide world with all the new smells and such... T.

Chest and neck is the big fave here... then ears and top of head. Tummy rubs are for special occasions, so are valued highly too... T.

I noticed the wobbly back end on Gertie - but she has plenty of gusto for the telling off, so she can be forgiven putting herself in danger of baing knocked over... lol! Don't you just love the old dog bark... Zeddy's was hysterical when she tried to pretend she was a guard dog... T.

If you know what you want your dog to have, then that's what you tell the vet the dog is having... don't succumb to the upselling to the C7 if it's not required - and certainly don't let them browbeat you into any schedule you aren't comfortable with. T.

He'd pull to get to the spots he wanted to sniff and/or pee on... lol! Once we'd gotten about 50m, it was all business to proper walking. I used a check chain early in the piece to signal him that it's time to walk nicely now... T.

Love grumpy granny telling off the young'un... lol! T.

I used to let my male Rotti sniff and pee at his own leisure for the first 50m of our walks... let him get the first burst of excitement out of his system... T.

She's looking lovely! T.

Way too much of it in a single spot for macropod poo... unless there were more than one of them in the same spot. I'm getting really good at macropod poo, having to rake up a lot of it lately... lol! T.

And that's what any decent puppy mummy would do! T.

I had a pup that did that... her name was Rebel... lol! They will stop doing it in their own time... T.

Awww... looky at the paw... asking for comings inside from the wet stuff... lol! T.

O! M! G! She only gets more and more stunning... Happy Birthday Neko! T.

Kayla will never be far from you, as she lives forever in your heart... remember her well, and smile at the amazing memories she has given you over the years. Fly with the angels Kayla - you are in some pretty fine company over there at the Bridge - please say g'day to Woosie and Zeddy for me, OK? T.
