    Can anyone recommend a good one? Tom Tom and Garmins seem to be the popular ones? Has anyone used them?

    Anyone seen John Travolta recently? Looks as though it is painted on.

    G8 is not the same as the European Union.

    I get what you are saying about it not being acceptable for a dog to call the shots.............however, as I see it, any sort of punishment involving your hand (even a tap on the nose) can lead to a dog being fearful of your hand and this in itself could lead to it striking out at you in fear if it thinks the heavy hand of doom is approaching........you need to bear in mind it may not only be you it strikes out at if it is fearful of hands............it could be anyone, leading to grief for you and your dog. I always get my dogs into a routine of being fed in peace the same place, with th

    You are aware that lads no bigger than ya average joe take them aren't you? And they have no intention having big muscles or any insecurities! You can train for many different things, shear size is only one of them fella. You never tried to better yourself in anyway? Somebody trying to better their physical ability is no different to a student trying to better their knowledge. Bullied at school by the rugby team were you? So, what sort of uses are they? Are they scientifically proven to have any advantage over natural diet and exercise? they have protein in them,athletes and

    I only caught the end of the show where they showed flyball.............I didn't see any of the english collies flyball athletes that were being championed on here last week...............

    What's he feeding it on? It could be allergy related.

    Also.......having a well trained and behaved dog is nothing to be embarrassed about whilst out in public........be proud of the work you put in

    Absolutely.... I believe sighthounds/lurchers are underestimated when it comes to the brain department, it just takes input from the handler to get the best out of them. I know I felt right and smug when mine was showing up the collies and labs at times..... :D ....say nothing , just smile smugly......... sometimes the people most surprised at their ability is the class trainers who are used to mostly working with the collies and labs.

    What was he eating and what are you changing him on to now? Glad to hear he has picked up again.

    I would always make sure a bitch is physically grown prior to speying. So that may mean putting up with a heat or 2 before I would book a bitch for spaying maybe at 2 years old. This gives the bones etc a chance to grow right before removing the ovaries. I do believe they need their hormones to allow them to physically mature right.

    no one is saying that mate have a read through it all .atb Oh believe me, I have.............. Can you tell me why most folk use derivitives of the greyhound........ rather than the pure thing............................? i can but i wont I think we all already know why.......
  14. littlefish
    well if theyre no good either then why are the 1st most used as a dog to make a lurcher? Exactly my point, sir.............a derivative, rather than the real thing.

    If pure greys were the most suitable dog for the job, then why doesn't everyone use them........................answers on a postcard please......

    That is a very inspiring read. Folks shouldn't look at it as 'being up against collies, labs etc', but instead as an opportunity to improve your dog's behaviour and confidence. It is not a competition - unless you do get bitten by the competition obedience bug..............then we could see you at Crufts, showing up the collies and labs........stranger things could happen.......

    Well, reading some of the very frequent repetitive queries on here regarding dogs with little recall and social skills with other dogs etc, i would say a lot of people would have a lot to gain from attending training classes. The ones i have been to have been provided an invaluable chance to mix with other dogs under controlled circumstances and to practice manners, control, recall etc. As was said previously, one of the main purposes of these classes is to train the handlers - particularly people with little previous experience of owing a dog and no idea of what to teach the dog or how to t

    In my house Rhum and Tay are drinks........

    lol What's funny?

    Good luck with that, however, I do agree that there are some dogs out there who would be best off 'out of circulation' and unfortunately they belong to irresponsible twats and the authorities do nothing about it either.

    Patience, practice and one dog off lead at a time......stick at it.....remember to be kind and full of praise when he comes back.......he is only a baby yet.

    i use to watch him aswel when i was a kid he did some good stuf.i think it was on sun morning wurnt it mate dont have things like that on anymore was a education watching it his fishing and ferreting stuff was great You've got 'Countryfile' instead............
  24. littlefish
    Good luck with him and well done for giving him another chance for a better life. It is indeed sad that so many of his type are bred, only to end up in the pounds.

    What sort of treatment does it involve and what conditions is it used for?
