We will have to use the September challenge to tide us over. . . .

From memory it was about 7 days. I cant wait that long!!

Beautiful Kirislin. That last shot is just precious

Me too! What a great idea!

Oooh very mysterious.... looking forward to it. Im going to try and have a proper crack this month!

Do you ever get the feeling someone is following you Bellatrix?! That was going to be my next question!

I love this one lea!

;) I can see why !! What raw stuff actually lasts for them then ? Lamb necks or roo tails seem to last longer. Our boy eats about half then burries then and saves them for later!

Just a few minutes in our house! Our Stafford inhails them like they are his last meal ever!

Yes it sure was beautiful! (Long Island) You could take canoes out and turtles would pop u and say hello!

Here are some pics from my recent trip to the whitsundays. I think they fit into this theme! Sorry for the overload!

Wow great photos everyone! I have been away so I hope you dont mind me posting an old pic whilst I catch up.

This has made me realise I need more photos with my dog! I am always the one taking them! I love this one from when he was just a little man,

Oh Jordajade that first one is too precious! Will be great to take more as they grow up together

They are lovely! Who said never work with kids or animals?!

Your pup is gorgeous! I love those ears!

Im sure this must have been done before but cant find a thread. Please add your own pics! This is our niece Codi and our Staffy Charche. We play this game with her and Charch is happy to be the model Where is Charches ear? Where is Charches eye? Where is Charches nose? Its tooooo cute!

Hey guys, Had a chat with my mate last night and she has seen the light! She is going to start putting some cash aside each week and look at doing some one on one training. Im so glad! Thanks for your posts. I think her reading replies from people other than me (that has been a broken record) has helped. Ta!

She just wants to be in control of him. She wants him to listen to her and know his place. She has made the time to teach him tricks but not so much to do as he is told! He can high 5, play dead and roll over Ok, one more question! She uses food every time she wants him to do something. He looks for the food as soon as he has done what he was told. Is this a good or bad thing?

Oh she cracked it alright! She trains him sporadically and isnt consistant with her comands. He dog just doesnt take her seriously. She will tell him to sit, he does, then she walks off, he then gets up and breaks his sit without her telling him. He then thinks he can do what he wants when he wants. ( well im not a trainer but thats what I think!)

Thats interesting. Bloody boys. No he isnt desexed. She was waiting for a testicle to drop which happened a few weeks ago. He always goes outside to pee normally and then last week we were over with our dog. Right in the middle of the lounge room he decides to pee! She said he hadnt done this since he was a pup (apart from once about 3 months ago) Regarding the day he peed on her - Could it be retaliation? She said this particular day she could only take him for his morning walk (about 5:30am). She was then out all day and didnt get home until late about 10pm.

Yup he owns her. I jokingly told her that she was his b*tch. I think she knows I meant it. If my husband is there and tells him what to do he listens to him. I dont know if its his deeper voice or the fact that he wont put up with his ingoring him. Maybe both? Time for an expert.

She asked me for advice on this so I have just emailed her some of your comments. Thanks everyone. Its a time and money thing for her. I question whether she should have gotten a dog without enough of both. Cosmolo she is in Port Melbourne, is that somewhere you do private lessons?

Thanks Dogs4Fun, I think I need to get tough with her and say im not giving her anymore advice until she gets some proffesional help. It makes me so cranky because shes a smart, normally sensible girl!
