Hi everyone :) Thanks for the suggestions. What I am trying at the moment is spraying the wound spray on her neck before I leave for work. And when I arrive home from work, when I stop at the grid to open the gate. I am opening the back of the car and calling them to jump into the back of the car. This is at least minimising the amount of rough housing at this time, and hopefully breaking the habit. It is crazy but the girl really seems to enjoy this rough housing play. Today when I came home and did the above, the girl tried to initiate the rough play inside the house!! I quickly put the wound spray on her neck, they had a quick play (outside) and came back in and settled down. And they don't do this behaviour for my husband or any other cars when they arrive, just vehicles with me in it. And usually I am home before my husband so there is no one here to help modify the behaviour. I do like the idea about the cameras. It would be great to see if they do this type of play at any other time and who initiates the play :)

They are near the grid, which is the entrance to the house yard. I have to stop there as there is an electric fence gate across the grid, to open this gate.

Hi All. I have 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks a male aged nearly 4 years, and a girl who just turned 2. The boy was desexed mid January and the girl is still entire. They both play really rough with each other, but the boy is worse than the girl . The biggest problem is that he "chews" and drags her by her skin when they play rough. There is never any blood, but the skin scabs, hair falls out and a scar is left behind. (either it doesn't hurt, or she has a high pain tolerance because she never yelps ) The really rough behaviour mainly occurs when I arrive home from work at the end of the day, as I drive over a cattle grid into the house yard up to my garage. (I Live on a farm) It is not really an option to separate them all day, so I am after something that I can put on her to deter him from "chewing" on her neck and face, or training him somehow to stop what he does to her??

Thanks everyone

Hi all :) I have entered my Rhodesian Ridgeback bitch in the Sydney Royal dog show. It will be the first time for both of us :) What I need help with is a list of what we need to take. Do people bring special mats to put on the bench for their dogs to lay on? What size mat do I need to take with me? Do you decorate your benching area? It has been many many many years since I have even visited the royal and I can not remember what the dog benching area looks like!! Any photos of what you have done before would be wonderful

I only got my dogs NSW mag yesterday.

I have contacted Dogs NSW and there are 2 options for being able to use the points from the missing challenge certificate. 1. as sky soaring Magpie said I can get a letter from the show secretary on their letter head with the relevant details 2. pay a search fee to Dogs NSW and they will find the relevant details for me. All good

I was hoping that Dogs NSW might have it on record somewhere

Hi, After this weekend my boy is near to having enough points for his championship title . However I am missing a BOB challenge certificate from a NSW AG show from last year. I know who the judge was, the show and date, not 100% sure of how many points were awarded though (I think 15). Is there any way to find out how many points were awarded and can I still apply to Dogs NSW for his title (once I figure out how many points the missing challenge was for ). So basically what do you do in NSW if you have a missing challenge certificate?

I think this is what I will do too Shepherd Lover. I just really liked the idea of having it all feed back to my phone. There's an idea for all those tech savvy people out there

I like it too :) especially being able to move it around :)

That would be great :D

Thanks Team Snag :) I didn't think much would happen besides sleeping, it is more for peace of mind. I am really wanting to somehow remotely monitor the temperature in the trailer both whilst travelling and when parked. And if I could get the temp to report to my phone somehow that would be a bonus!!

Hi I have recently put a deposit down for a trailer :) . I am wanting to put a camera and temperature monitoring system in it that will feed back to my i-phone. What are other people using? What brands etc, and recommendations? Thank you :)
