Just a quick message to let anyone interested know that I ordered from odourgo and received my order promptly, they responded to emails and where helpful over the phone. I've used it on my back car seat, my girl had a large accident on it, and it's come up a treat. Very happy.

Hi Guys I've been told that I should limit the amount of exercise that I give my German Shepherd pup ? The advice varied from no exercise until 12 months old to - 5 minutes until 6 months and then up to 10 minutes a day until 12 months. Is this true or just an old wives tale? Thanks Ant

I sent an email yesterday and got a reply a few hours later, also used the mobile phone number on their website and spoke to Phil who was quite helpful. Will go ahead and place an order today Cheers Ant

Hi Guys, Does anyone know if they have updated their website yet or do we still need to cal Melissa direct? Also how are people paying? Do they take credit card orders over the phone? Thanks Ant

I found an interesting article for anyone interested in getting started http://www.thedogathlete.com/playing-with-prey-drive/

Just looking to improve on her general obedience, she is ok at the moment and understands the commands I give her but she is often slow to react and/or is too busy looking around or sniffing the ground and doesn't seem to hear what I'm saying. Thanks to everyone for pointing me in the right direction Cheers Ant

Seems like a good idea but I don't think I can afford it at the moment

Hi Guys, I own an 8 month old German Shepherd pup that I've been training myself at home and, while she's been doing reasonably well, I feel as though there's plenty of room for improvement. I think a lot of the problem is that she doesn't have a very high food drive, while she's happy to work for treats she not that fussed about them( compared to my 12 yr old Border Collie and a Belgian Shepherd that I previously owned) She seems to be very easily distracted and I've noticed that when we are out walking she will rarely look at me. I've read a little about Prey drive and decided to give it a try and am now waiting for some tugs toys to arrive from the k9pro shop and now i have a few questions that I was hoping someone could help me with 1. When she gets a good grip on the tug and I want her to release it is there a particular method/command that I should use? She has a stuffed toy that I use with her occasionally and she loves it but getting her to let go usually ends up with me having to physically remove it from her. I have taught her the "leave it" command where she won't take toy/treat until she's allowed but once she gets hold of the toy she doesn't want to give it up in a hurry. 2. Is it necessary to tether her when building drive or is that optional? 3.Do I need to remove all other toys from her back yard and should I still walk her while trying to build drive? She loves chewing up cardboard boxes and it has proved helpful in reducing the amount of destructive chewing and hole digging that I get and therefore I would be reluctant to stop giving them to her. She also likes to take a rope toy or the Border Collies ball and tease the other dog with it so they can play some chasy , it's something they both seem to enjoy and I would feel a bit mean taking them away. 4. Can I still use a check chain? Any other advice/tips would be greatly appreciated Thanks Ant
