Yup I'm still coming Cara sounds like Millie, but with zero training, so I'd love to pick your brain RS. I love her dearly, and she's a good girl, but she's been ignored for the first 8 months of her life, so we have to overcome that.

Henry isn't allowed up either, and she has no idea how to get up the stairs, which suits me right now :D

She is hyper and I think her total lack of training doesn't help. She didn't know how to even sit when we got her, but we're doing 2 x 10 minutes of training each day plus her walks. Paige's bedroom is downstairs and I spend most of my time upstairs. She also stands at the bottom of the stairs and barks at me constantly. She's fine if I'm downstairs and if I'm in the office she'll just hang out down there and sleep. But she really doesn't like to be away from us. Something I need to address.

Ahh good idea. Thanks :D

Where do I get bitter lime from? I'm going to sand back the stair this weekend and revarnish it, hopefully it'll look like new again :D

Because the neighbours complained to my Mum (who owns the house) apparentlty they've been barking. I thought about baby gates, but Cara has been chewing the stairs, and I really don't know if she'd keep chewing that. I've attached the photo of the space they sleep in at night, that bottom stair now has big teeth mark in it.

Hey guys, I need to confine my dogs inside during the day. Henry would be fine, but Cara I'm worried about, she can be quite destructive. Anyone have ideas? I thought about crating them, and they'd only need to be in the crates from about 9am to around 2.30pm.

Oh I love Dobes. I bred and showed them about 15 years ago up in Darwin and I miss them a lot, such beautiful dogs And fruit buns are the best, chocolate are nasty

Welcome spyke88, Spider is gorgeous I'm no expert on training either, but there are some great posts in the Training forum and plenty of Obedience clubs around the place ;)

We had our first obedience class last night. Cara got so bored after about half an hour, that not even food could interest her. Hens on the other hand, he was happy to perform all night long with treats.

Heya, can you update my order by another 2 please. So that's 8 medium, 2 small

Hi Can I please order 6 medium and 2 small Thanks Edit: Updated order from 4 to 6 medium

18th to the 28th.

Gah, I need to kennel my dogs for 10 days in April, anyone got any ideas of good kennels in Perth?

I have two Labs. Henry is 8 and he'll retrieve anything he's asked to retrieve. He always has a toy or a ball in his mouth and above everything else, this motivates him. Cara, our 8 month old puppy doesn't appear to be that interested in retrieving. She'll chase the toy/ball if you hype it up, but often actually pick it up, and rarely will she bring it back. I'm hoping she's just a silly puppy because I'd like to do retrieving with her next year.
