I never once in the thread said this.

I didn't say this, I said things have really improved - but that was because of our attitude, and him as a result - you have chosen to ignore that.

Why would I not want to post about progress my dog has made?

Absolute rubbish and I take offence to being accused of this, this would be cruel to my dog and is utterly un-true! You've totally made this up. He was in the crate for four hours in the morning, and four hours in the afternoon and then at night, 3 days a week, for about 2 months.

Again, telling lies to try and slander me. I have made several references to his exercise regime that always include morning walks, daily. You are just imagining things now.

Well, if you want to read posts about how I stepped out of the door and walked Woody for 30 minutes then came home then so be it, I thought pictures of him running about and playing with his friends would be more interesting. Obviously not.

He was gnawing due to stress and boredom, an issue we have now resolved as were innocently not doing enough of the right type of mental with him.

No, he has food aggression and does not like being told what to do. Please read my posts properly before concluded I am such a bad person.

Totally taking my posts out of context now and exaggerating them to add drama.

YES, the RSPCA website, so it would seem that my fears are well founded!!
What? I was given this advice by the man who trained Gwen Bailey, Tony Orchard. Please feel free to research him. He was not telling me to tie him up and leave him there, it was a method to encourage him to settle on his bed, in small doses, strictly supervised. It's a lot gentler than say kneeing your dog in the chest to get them to stop jumping up, for example.

Again, what? What on earth is wrong with this? People have pet toilets all the time. It's difficult for us Helen as we cannot afford a great big garden like you so the small one we have we would like to keep as mess free as possible for our own enjoyment. what is the problem with this?

A dog is not a person and he is not locked up for 3 days, get your facts straight. He has free run of the house for the four hours I'm at work, four days a week! We can't all afford to not work Helen.

Oh please. You have never met him so cannot possibly know how ''miserable'' he is. Why don't you listen to the people that have or look through my numerous threads of him grinning from ear to ear. He could not be more loved or more happy.

And another thing whilst I'm on a roll! I don't for one minute think ANY behaviourist worth their salt would recommend tying a young puppy up to a radiator, NO, I think this was HER idea, so she thought she'd say that, just to get some feedback on whether or not she should do that, so he could be out of her way, out of her hair, and she could enjoy her evening with her new husband - in which case, why get a dog in the first place then
Absolute crap and again taken out of all context just to put forward a false case against me! For goodness sake. I came on Dogsey asking for help and advice, mostly I got that but this is just plain nasty.

This is personal, nasty and total rubbish. How dare you say things like this about me and get this personal! You do not know me. You have almost fantasised about my situation and jumped to all the wrong conclusions. It's a little freaky actually and quite laughable. Would that I could afford Hunter wellies!! I have a pair from a garden centre that were £12, I do hope the village don't notice!!.

Now I've had a chance to respond to your vile attack I shall continue posting as normal on Dogsey. It's a great forum and I've made some great friends. I've also found most poster's advice invaluable. This kind of irrational, personal, nasty post is quite appalling.the worst thing about it is that you are attacking someone who was clearly upset and desperate for support.
