  4. Clipping

    One of mine struggles with the heat, I use a mars coat king and thin his coat out especially around his neck and behind his ears, and I clip his tummy and groin area completely, it makes a huge difference.

    I'm not really sure what to do, she said she would check if there was any places requesting weekend visits and ring me back, before she made me an assessment appointment, how long do you wait for a call back? She made it sound like it was very unlikely that people requested weekend visits and I was the first person to ever what to do this.

     

    I don't want to go to head office as I worried it would cause a problem if I actually did join, starting to think maybe this isn't for us.

    I've been thinking about applying for a while and today rang to make an appointment for an assessment, they asked me if I was available late afternoons, I told the lady I work fulltime, only to be abruptly asked when do you intend to do any visits? The lady was seemed surprised that I had applied as I work full time and sounded doubtful that anyone would request weekend visits.

     

    If that is the case why not give that information out on the website or on the leaflets or even in the information pack?

     

    Surely some of the volunteers must work fulltime? Or do Pat Dogs only do week day visits? Just wondered if there were any Pat Dog people here that had any advice? Or is working fulltime a no go?

     

    Am slightly miffed as Lady wasn't exactly polite about it and was looking forward to doing something like this with my dog :(

    We've had one for about a year now, it is still going strong, it does seem to be harder to get the treats out than most toys, so it does keep them occupied longer. But my two older dogs don't think the effort is worth it :rolleyes: But for the ones that do, it is perfect, can recommend the bouncing bone too

    I would stock up on these if your dogs like them as they are no longer being made, I asked at Crufts why they wern't selling them (Company of Animals) and was told they have been discontinued as they didn't do well in the US.

  14. Canine Aggression And Communication

    James O'Heare Aggression workbook and Brenda Aloff does one too, name escapes me, look on american site called Dogwise for more ideas.

     

    I read up as I had a dog with aggression issues and the James O'Heare book was a great manual for me but my inspiration came from a book Bringing light to shadow, which is more of a diary of someone dealing with an aggressive dog.

     

    Personally Jean Donaldson's fight was not for me and neither was the Barbara Sykes. But the Turid Rugass was interesting and I do use bits from that even now.

     

    Also not sure about recommending another site but, Taking the lead forum, is really useful and lots of people post about books there

  19. Dogs' Trust Neutering Scheme To Stop

    This thread and the similar one on Dp is unbelievable, but not surprising I have noticed a trend with MT threads over the last couple of years. But I have to say I am disappointed it happens here too.

     

    I thought all rescues would be treated the same here, but from reading this thread, obviously not.
