Enjoy...tissue anyone, I am still teary from the clip!! Sorry if it has already been posted in the past. <embed src="http://blip.tv/play/AYG5lVkC" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

I'm sorry, but what is wrong with the world!! Dogs being put out like the trash, come on people!! How can any country believe that destroying a dog/breed will some how get rid of all the stupid owners around the world!! Where has common sense gone!!

Sniffing around for a good dog whistle. Is it best to buy an adjustable whistle where you can customize the pitch to be most effective for the dog or does a general purpose one do the trick that isn't adjustable? I do want a dog whistle not a plastic human whistle (if that makes sense). Just wanted to ask where is the best place to buy them and if there is a brand preferred throughout the dog world? Any help would be great. Also posted in training forum.

I have a dog that is totally not food motivated for reward training etc.... its a bit gross smelling..BUT...buy a liver from butcher,boil with garlic[for smell..yumm] when it seems cooked,,sometimes bit hard to tell but you'll soon figure it out,leave to go completly cold in the liquid. Then cut up either into small bits for instant rewards or bit larger bits-which is what i use,he licks it while i'm holding it and then when he's got the lesson downpat he gets the whole piece...it works every time now......takes a bit of fiddling around but really worth it in the end...wont hurt to at least try it you never know....cheers and good luck. let us know how you get on...need more explicit instructions send me an email Thanks, I will give it a go!! No... friend said that is a little bit too much trouble. I was thinking... she is using cheese and that is working ok, however being dairy does this harm the dog, if only being trained twice a day for 10 mins? Just in general is cheese ok for dogs?

Get in line! I have the absolute pleasure of seeing, cuddling and kissing these puppies every weekend. It's the highlight of my week. Every week revolves around Sunday and me going to see them. Thank you Hilary and Sara for allowing me to present and watch the puppies grow and cry when they leave home. Ohhh my...I am in LOVVVEE!! Ps. Love the Tri Girl!!! :mad :(

Yes, this is my thinking too, very hard to convince my friend though !! I have stated in the general forum that the dog should only be fed its daily meal in training, what do you think? I am currently getting feedback in the other forum too.

Ok thanks I will get her to try the cheese and devon :D Yes, I have gone through the whole "nothing is for free"...still working on it

It is very rare that I come across this, but a friend asked for some help on how to choose the right reward for training her dog when the dog clearly hasnt got any motivation for food, verbal praise, pats or toys. The dog is a very fussy eater as a result of eating human food:rolleyes: and will not go near any dog treats. She has tried warmed chicken etc for food rewards but the dog doesnt seem to interested. When I say interested, the dog will eat it,but in dog training from my knowledge it should be of highest value to the dog and something the dog wants to work for. She just wants to do the basics of sit, stay, down etc, and the reward needs to be readily available and easy to use. I have told her that the reward must only come out when in training. Is there anything out there that is irresistible for dogs or any training secrets that have worked for a fussy eater, that isnt too hard to prepare and can be easy to handle ? I am sure the dog will work for raw meat etc, however that is quite messy. Any tips or tricks would be great!!

Any light on this would be great

:rofl: Love the video!!! Off to spread the video on Facebook!!

Hey Tybrax, I had a look at the mixed Pitbull breeds game thing and it states that there are "only three of these dogs are “pit bull” mixes" I looked down at the answers and none are mixes of pitbull Have I missed something

My friend has a Lab that they have had for 2 years he is 3 soon. They have just bought a rescue staffy x who is only 10 months old. The Staffy is showing dominant behaviour around the Lab, ie front legs over the Labs shoulders, tail straight in the air, leaning towards and into the Lab. However the Staffy is also showing submissive behaviour such as licking around the mouth etc. Not knowing the history of the resuce dog, my friend is stopping the staffy from showing any dominant behaviour towards the Lab. The Lab has growled at the staffy to back off and he has which is a good sign. Should you allow both dogs to figure it out under supervision on their own or should you stop the behaviour from even occurring? If you keep stopping the behaviour can that cause tension and make matters worse? When I saw the Staffy interact with the Lab he seemed a little confused on what is the right behaviour to display. The Lab plays very rough at times and the Staffy sometimes sees this as a threat and will have a growl at the Lab. Will this sort it's self out? They have only had the Staffy for a week...but the family is just a little worried as the Staffy is very strong and they dont know its background. Any feedback would be great
