    Sudden fear of stairs

    Little jacks is nearly 8 mths now and has suddenly developed a fear of going down and upstairs. It started a few days ago, I have 2 flights of stairs in my house and he has been confidently going up and down them since 3 mths. I have a suspicion that he may have slipped or fallen down them while...

    Leash Aggression

    This sounds much like my Tuppence! Fine off leash, increasingly reactive on! She plays up more for me than my partner as well :( I've been practicing advice Caro gave me a couple of weeks ago about redirect and calming before walk, it's kind of better but it's hard if I have pup with me . I was...

    Big sister 'guarding' ? Puppy on walks?

    I'm not sure if this is the right section because I could be wrong about the guarding thing, but if I describe what's happening I hope you can help! Tuppence is a 2.5 yr old female( desexed) and has always been pretty well behaved on the lead, I could take her to cafés and new places with no...

    I need reassurance!!!

    Hey Guys, So my little jacks is 6 mths now and after 8 weeks of solid toilet training I had finally got him to go to the toilet outside!

    How long before testicles descend?

    So I had a 'search ' for Jacks , I don't think I can feel any but who knows! I'm no means an expert! He's exactly 5 months yesterday :) I think I will get my vet to look just to be sure:)

    Afraid of the dark?

    My Tuppence and little jacks don't have any problems with the dark, but they both pretty much refuse to walk out on wet grass to potty! This would not seen so strange if they both didn't love swimming at the beach so much or that they still demand we go for walks in the pouring rain!

    help..10 week puppy is peeing and pooping in crate

    My Tuppence was the same, she would wee and poo in her crate. I did the whole taking her out in the middle of the night, limiting water in the evening etc but it took ages for her to learn not to. Once she was older she seemed to just click . But I did make a rookie error and put her in a crate...
