Thanks for the comments...I will try all of the above and pray one works!!!

Hi all. My 11 month old boxer Juno has recently started pulling vigorously when we pass other dogs. It has been getting bad and I am finding it extreemly hard to hold on to her. I used to be able to distract her with food, but that no longer works. She goes group walking with dogs 3 times a...

HI all, Went to the vets last night and the Vet had good news for us. The lumps had really reduced in size and she is back on her normal diet with no problems. The vet said that it was prob a bacterial infection. She didnt expect them to have reduced so significantly. She gave another week of...

thanks for all your good wishes. Just got back from the vets. The lumps are the same size, she is really puzzled. She doesnt want to put her through a biopsy seeing she is so young but is stumped as to what it is. She said she only saw this once before in a dog that was 10 and was very ill. She...

My Juno was the exact same at that age. She would try and take down a 6ft man. It's hilarious to watch. I enrolled Juno into abiedience training class when she was 6 months old which was a bit late, the trainer said 16 weeks was a good time to start. Enjoy your baby

Just got back from the vets and got some bad news. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. My 9 month old baby Juno has had some bleeding when she passes stools. This has gone on for 2 days so took her to the vets to day. She had a tempreature of 104 and she had a rectal exam. The...

I know the feeling. Im lucky with Juno because she loves food and will ignore any dog however tempting for a treat. Hope that continues

Thanks for the advice. At the moment when we are passing dogs on our walk I get her to sit and lie down and give her a treat. By the time she has done this the other dog has passed and we continue. She does great with this. The only problem I have at the moment is she plays with my kerry blue...

My 7 month old boxer has just got back from her 3rd obedience clas. She has done really well but when we let the dogs play Juno jumped on a german shepherd and a fight nearly broke out. The trainer said she will probably get savaged by another dog if she keeps being disresptfull to other dogs...

My 7 month old boxer has developed a hard lump under her chin. Just noticed it today. It does not hurt her and is rough to the touch. Is this normal? She plays with my 2 year old kerry blue mix and they are always tugging at eachothers mouths, could it have happened then. It is a bit red after...

When we brought Juno home we had a big puppy pen which the crate attatched to. She could go in and sleep and had the pen to use. This worked well for us .

Very sorry for the topic . Trainer didn't explain it fully . Will not be going back .

I have just come back from an obiedience trainer. It was our first session. He reccomended an e collar. As I am new to this any feedback from the forum on this would be greatly appreciated.

Just came back from a disatrous visit to the vets. Its a long story by Juno was spayed 10 days ago and had a bad time, back 5 times, because she got at her stitches and was in alot of pain. The happy day came around when she would be free of the e collar and she lost it. She was growling...

Back at vets today for a checkup. She is getting alot better and slept from 7pm till 7am this morning. Poor thing was wrecked. She can now lie on her front and is alot happier but in the vets today she was very distressed vet prescribed more meds for agitation. When I got her home she was fine...
