Hi Anne,
We posted at the same time.
Yes, Reggie has gone - but there are some other gorgeous dogs there still ... those of you who like their doggies a little bit scruffy ... have a look at Millie

He has found a home!

Thanks for sharing that. I found it very moving ... because Poppy is so happy and waggy throughout maybe x

Thanks very much for all your comments. Always useful to get others' experiences! It's a work in progress of course, but I do think the "About turn" walk is helping us quite a bit. Re. chasing: deer has not happened yet, but would be a total Fenton style nightmare, I have no doubt. Rabbits has happe...

I've been trying this "About turn walk" technique for improving recall with Charlie (who's nearly one year old). http://www.dogparliament.com/index.php?page=the-about-turn-walk Early days but I think (or is that hope) it might be helping. Does it sound sensible to any of you more experienced doodle ...

Thanks very much everybody.
Lots to look at

Do any of you have any recommendations for dog trainers on youtube or elsewhere on the Internet?

Murphy doesn't look like a typical labradoodle but he is a very beautiful dog.

You are right Liz, it would seem much easier to go out and get him (and safer). That is what I tried to do for a good long while but I found that as soon as I stepped outside Charlie would stop barking - so the barking had worked as far as he was concerned. Other times he was in a strange defiant "b...

No useful advice - but just wanted to say that you are not alone. I am having exactly the same problems with Charlie (10 months). I followed the advice in the "Totall Recall" book and he used to come back to a dog whistle every time. Then one day he discovered the joys of rabbits on the golf course....

You are right to be worried about the tangling, Jo. It is a real danger I think. Charlie got tangled up several times yesterday in the bushes. Luckily he just stood still and waited for me to come and untangle him. You definitely could not leave Bonny on a long line unsupervised. However, I am cauti...

My husband is losing his hair.

Maybe I'll get one done for him as a momento.

I'm trying to stop Charlie (10 months old) barking in the garden whenever somebody dares to laugh / sneeze / whisper / tweet in any of the surrounding gardens / trees. Now it's spring, I have the door open when I'm working at the computer and Charlie potters in and out mooching around. So following ...
