Little puppy Jet doesn’t seem to be bothered by the fact that the big girls can fit her head in their mouth! The dogs scared of very little! She is more than happy to come tearing up to them and jump all over them wiggling like a loon only to have her little face swallowed into the gaping hole that is Faye or Daisies mouth only to emerge covered in saliva and more than willing to give it another go. One of the joys of being a dog………..I guess!!!!!!!
Zen And The Art Of Dog Training.
I am of course no expert on the care and training of dogs and puppies but I can offer a few insights into the do’s and dont’s of dog training. Looking after dogs is no easy thing, especially at first when they have had little or no training. Your new dog, in my case dogs will test you to the limits to see who is top of the pack. Straight away one technique I do perform to make them know who is boss is somewhat controversial. Whenever one of the dogs misbehaves (which gets less frequent as they grow […]
If Dogs Could Talk……………………………….
” So what shall we do today Faye and Jet?” “Well I’m still a puppy so I think I will get some serious eating of by beddie in and won’t get too told off as I am only ickle” “What about you Faye?” “Because I am the biggest and the naughtiest I think that for a laugh I may bark like a loon at the front door pretending there is someone there, and then when the door opens I will go and have a lie down on the bed when no one is looking. What about you?” “Well as […]
Dogs Love To Eat Almond Nuts. Or Is It Just Mine?
Update. After some research I have done because of lots of people finding this page after a google search with the question “can dogs eat Almonds” it seems that Almonds may be harmful to Dogs. I am not going to risk it in the future and I would advise you to be on the safe side as well. Give them a lovely Dog Treat alternative instead. It is always better to be safe than sorry in my opinion. We own a lot of Olive trees and also about seventy Almond trees. This year was a very bad Almond harvest […]
Dog Behaving Badly? Give It A Smack!
Just joking. Although for many of us it is tempting at times when it is one of those days when you just seem to be shouting at the dogs and the fun of pet ownership has all but disappeared. When a dog behaves badly i have found over the years that there is one main thing I can do to calm things down. Exercise! Whenever we have not had chance to give our dogs plent of exercise for whatever reasons the doggie naughtiness gene seems to kick in pretty rapidly! This seems especially true if the dogs are normally […]
The Serious Side Of Dog Ownership
Although i want this site to primarily be about the great company that dogs are and the fun they can bring to your lives i also want to address important and serious aspects of dog ownership. For me and my partner one of the important points is always the worry that something bad will happen to them. Before we owned the three dogs that we do now we had a lovely male that lived until he was sixteen and was fantastic. We moved to Spain and he spent his final years in total freedom in the Catalan countryside. At […]
Dogs Can’t See In Colour
Many people seem to think that dogs can’t see in colour. If that is true how come they always wag their tails when Steve Davis pots a Pink!
