2 new dogs at the park were more interesting than Star and me. Just wait until Fern is perfect with his commands and you have to try them out at classes in front of everyone and he pretends he does not understand you

I swear I did everything by the book, no chasing, or yelling but bribery and it just didn't work ARGHHHHHH, and he's been a total nightmare tonight as well!!!!!
So I'm treating myself to a glass of red wine just to escape the dog who left his ears behind at the vets!!!
Foxy, your Sabre sounded like an angel, I swear I would give anything just to see Fern frightened of one damn thing.....but noooooo he thinks he can control the world
I tell you we have good days and days where we just want to tear our hair out... today was one of them...Bring on the wine
No Sabre didn't stay an Angel for long MC - he got very cocky when his hormones kicked in and all the dogs knew their place when he was around
He was okay with them as long as they didn't threaten him at all but if they did............... He did get better when he was older though although sadly we lost him soon after

That doesn't sound very good at all, she shouldn't be slapping your dog for barking! Oh dear
Where in Kent are you? I'd be happy to recommend my trainer in Kent if it would help any?

If they are unwilling to let you do this i'd say they were in it for the money and not for the good of your dog - know which i'd prefer! Not to mention if anyone did that to my dog i'd be likely to smack them back!Hazel xxx

MC aw Fern sounds just like Loki, knows it all but chooses if and when he does it
. Don't worry about it, it's just a bit of puppy spirit. He did really well at puppy class. Well done!
