    Agility

    Connie has now attended her second agility lesson and things are going surprisingly well! She absolutely loves the tunnel but getting her to wait at one end till I get to the other is proving a bit of a challenge, her enthusiasm is a slight disadvantage at times! The ramps she has taken to...

    Thunder storms

    Does anyone have any good tips for a dog that is petrified of thunder storms? My 2 1/2 yr old dachshund cross hates thunderstorms. If he hears a loud clap of thunder he associates it with where he is at the time. He was once on a chair in my office and there was a loud bang and he wouldn't...
