strong and stable with me, or...
Itās funny isnāt it, before I had a dog, Iād have thought that was just a nice picture of a dog, but now I have one (posted a few posts before), I donāt see a dog I see a personality, the eyes, the fun, the quirkiness. Itās a weird feeling but can completely understand the incredible value having a picture or portrait done.

Sums it up really well. Before I had a dog you'd go round people's houses and see photos all over the place and it didn't really register. Now that I've had Rosie I truly understand why people prefer a picture/portrait of them on the wall that other family

Out of interest what would she charge for something like that?

Thank you, I think so.
That one was Ā£350.00 as it was a returning customer, normally Ā£450.00.
She struggled with that as the dog had passed away and they didn't have a good quality photo to work from.
Nice sandy walk by a river this morning. This dog just loves sand!

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.

I was just talking about this yesterday to someone - Iām a firm believer that dogs should be treated and respected as dogs not little surrogate people for needy humans - Seen far too many owners screwing up their dogs with what they mistakenly think is āloving kindnessā and allowing them to become precocious and bad tempered with other dogs and constantly barking at any human that comes close to their owner - seems to be a particular issue with small dog owners. If dogs feel they are top of the hen pecking order in the household, even emotionally, with the owner as a subservient member of their little pack, they will naturally āprotectā and defend against anything that threatens to usurp the pole position thatās been willingly conceded to them by their owner.
When you're getting on a bit and you get a new bed but you don't quite have the hang of getting into it yet (she is sound asleep and snoring):

True, although in this case the dog is an (untrained) support dog for someone with enduring live long mh issues who does need her to be able to go outside. What I'm finding interesting is Cesar isn't about training (sit, heel etc commands) but the leader-follower dynamic and I'm finding this clicks very easily and satisfying, as does the dog it seems, so far. Many of the successful dog experts on t.v don't seem to say much at all to the dog nor constantly use treat rewards which tbf is the opposite of what i was doing before. I'm moving away from being a believer in "just positive reinforcement when the dog does what you want" ethos.I was just talking about this yesterday to someone - Iām a firm believer that dogs should be treated and respected as dogs not little surrogate people for needy humans - Seen far too many owners screwing up their dogs with what they mistakenly think is āloving kindnessā and allowing them to become precocious and bad tempered with other dogs and constantly barking at any human that comes close to their owner - seems to be a particular issue with small dog owners.
