Well done Barry. Have taken the dog out. Bit warm so didn't go far. Have a good evening everyone.

Good afternoon all

Brenda What have ai missed you have a dog?

Lynn Sure he will be fine you are experienced owners and sensible people. The pup will benefit from both.

Chris It sounds like he bites your hand in frustration possibly? Sounds like he is coming along well in mch of his developement interesting his DAd is similar and his sibling worse OR that could be that because of your experience Ted is benefiting like Brewster from the experienced home he is in.

Sue Met today a lady with a Border colled Holly lovely girl she is going in for a dental next week as well.

Griff Hope all is good with you.


On a side note these frequent dog attacks are becoming quite scary,

The dog whistle he totally ignores

As said, he's a strange little dog and quite a conumdrum. I've tried every different treat under the sun - even squirty cheese, liver, dog treats and even biscuits - he just has no interest

At the moment, I'm giving him massive cuddles when he ignores and am trying Donaldson's open bar technique by substituting cuddles for treats, ie cuddling him all the while before he even spots a dog in the distance and only stop if he reacts at any point, but success is limited

it's definitely frustration Kazz.

No Kazz just a friend's.

Chris another way is to ignore him when he wants attention and when he doesn't you give it to him? Reverse psychology.

On the food front Chris a friend of mine has Burt the Chi he ignores food as well and another friend has a Yorkie he also ignores food and I swear he eats nothng he must but never seems to. Maybe a tiny dog thing given the size of their tummys
