[Misc] Official NSC Dog Bore Thread

[Grizz]

Just finished reading Cesar Milan's first book. Loved it. I regularly walk a friend's emotional support cockapoo (I refuse to if she has bows in her hair or is wearing a dress, you know, that kind of dog...). Lovely dog I've known since a young age but have recently got fed up with over excitement, some disobedience and poor reaction to other dogs. Must say, I've implemented just a few of his recommendations and feel it's already had a big effect on her and improved our relationship noend. I'm looking forward to our walks much more now.

Dogs need boundaries, just like kids. You can love them intensely, indulge them, spoil them, but they need to know what is acceptable and what's not. It's not always easy, training takes effort but it can be fun. My Rosie use to pull on the lead all the time when we got her. When I took her for a walk, as soon as she pulled I'd stop, make her sit, walk up to her side and start walking again. If she pulled we'd repeat the whole process. A 10 minute walk use to take 45 mins when we first got her, but within a week she understood that pulling on the lead meant a shit walk, which was boring and repetitive. She got it and we'd go walking for hours and both be happy.

I bet Rosie wasnt a spaniel

You're right , she was a Staffie/Jack mix, but she had the build of a Staffie, so the pulling needed to be dealt with properly.

I love spaniels. They can be trained too, but maybe getting them not to pull on the lead takes a bit longer

Our working Cocker wasn't too bad but today we saw a squirrel drinking out of the dog dish out the front. So now it's where is he, I'll get him, I'll have him, ears up, hackles up full alert mode ............the lead work has gone up the pictures!

A few more days and Rosie might get there!!

Today's surprising dog fact. XL Bully's don't bark much or at least my neighbour's doesn't. Good job otherwise I'd be straight round.........

Today’s Argus - Green councillor Steve Davies claims that he’s regularly chased by “400 out of control mutts” on his morning Waterhall run.

The Argus and Greens wonder why they are ridiculed

You can take the dog out of the Police but you can’t take the ‘Police’ out of the dog.

East Sussex retired police dog rescues a man on his first walk since major surgery:

Retired police dog on first walk since major surgery rescues missing man in East Sussex

The dog, who turned 12 on the day of the discovery, immediately "went into work mode" after sensing the lost individual and "started indicating towards an area of dense undergrowth".

Between work and studying full time for a masters, I spend a lot of time in the home office. Thankfully Lamby is good company!

You have told us now, I was looking at your dog and the football scarves.

You have told us now, I was looking at your dog and the football scarves.

I've somehow misplaced a few scarves. Expecting they're in a box still from our move here in January...

Some (Atletico Ottawa and Toronto FC) are going to be easier to replace than others (Wellington Phoenix)!

I like the red and black Albion scarf, can’t say I’ve seen that before or remember seeing that one.

It's from this era - When I first started attending Albion matches! Pretty sure it was a purchase from a Withdean portakabin, and must be around 20-25yrs old

Feel like those Skint shirts were by and large pretty good!

Yes I did think it probably came out the same time as that shirt, I’m not really a football shirt wearer but have both of those first Skint shirts as collectors items.
