I can't believe i forgot to mention this...and ask opinions as well... My trainer is called Charlie Claricotes...he writes in the training sections in Your Dog Magazine and has a couple of videos on their website... I was wondering if anyone has looked at these (read or watched) and what they thought?? How would you rate his style etc (link in case you don't know it) http://www.yourdog.co.uk/Training/

Hi Being new here I wasn't sure if you have already covered this (and I'm trying to send this from work) we have a young sibe pup who likes to take things to the limit... She nips me all the time dispite being told no firmly and being ignored (then jumps up behind me and tries to bite my head or pull my hair. Its all a big game), she also jumps up onto people if they sit on the sofa and tries to climb up on their shoulders and pull their hair. We have tried everything so any suggestions would be helpful. She is Bart Simpson on speed

Hey everyone! I just joined the forums today and I posted this in introductions but I figure I'll post it here too in case not everyone checks intros. My husky Pongo (11weeks old) does not like to go outside when the sun is out. I live in Ohio so it's only been I think 80F at the hottest this summer. He throws an absolute tantrum. I have to pull him on the leash until we are away from the house to get him to go and then it's a bolt back to the house and the air conditioning. I am afraid I am spoiling him. Any suggestions on making him like being outside. I try to wet him down if I think it's out before we start walking. I'm afraid of this becoming a problem with potty tr…

Maya is getting her back molar teeth in and she's been 'mouthing' me so I think they're bothering her. Her kong and bone were great when her front teeth were coming in but what would help ease her pain on the back ones? do they lose the baby molars that she currently has? thanks

Hi, (1) My one year old, Izzy, hasn't shed her undercoat yet. It's the middle of August and it's hot. I took her to the groomer to see if they could do it because I've spent hours upon hours working on it with no results. They were very confident they could get it out with a warm bath and special "shed less" shampoo and 7 hours later they were unable to get parts of it out and said her skin was becoming very irritated from trying for so long. Our other husky didn't shed his undercoat on his first summer either. Has anyone else experienced this? I just want her to cool off for the rest of the warm season. (2) My other question concerns flea control. B…

My Sibe Storm, is now just over 4months and has been on James wellbeloved since birth but has always had a dodgy tummy on it, so we've just changed him to Burns and he's now got nice tough ones, which is great but he always seems hungry, when before sometimes he would leave food in the bowl now it doesnt touch the sides! is there a reccomended amount for a husky? we feed him twice a day but he runs every day with me and sometimes can see his rib cage, as there's no comparisons around here im just going on what the food bag states onto how much to give him. Any other Huskys around cornwall for running? cheers all:cool::cool::2gunsfiring_v1:

I've recently noticed my 4 months old husky's behavior is unlike the other husky; he's always tired i guess and lying down, when walking him he stops in the middle and refuses to continue walking, he runs away when I try to approach or anyone else, when I try to play with him he runs to a corner and sits there without moving, when the other husky plays with him again he sits there without moving as if he's scared. Is this behavior normal? he is always sitting down laying his head on his hands and watching what we do he only moves and runs towards me when its time to feed him .

Does anybody else feed their dogs tinned mackerel fillets in tomato sauce? We give them to Sabre occasionally and he absolutely loves them, it's just I'ved noticed that half a tin contains 0.6g of salt which is 10% of an adults GDA and we give Sabre the whole tin. He doesn't get it regularly but this does seem quite a lot of salt!

Hey All! Finn is doing quite well with potty training issues (FINALLY), but if I'm home and I forget to close the bedroom door she will pee in there totally unannounced. She just sneaks off and then comes back with no notice. Even when I remember to close the door, she doesn't go to it and scratch any more. She doesn't give any warning. I take her out every hour and she's fine, but at four months old I don't know that I should need to do this, and really, she only pees every few times that we go out, but not at any sort of regular interval relating to when she drinks or anything like that. So, I'm wondering if anyone has…
