I think we all know or know of someone in a tiny house with one or more big dogs, or just lots of small ones. What’s your way of working it out? Simple floor space? Bounciness of the canines in question? Is it a problem when you start tripping over dogs? OH has declared we have room for two dogs in our current house. I’m not sure how he’s come to that conclusion, since that takes no account of individual temperaments, sizes, etc. I’m sure he’d say no to a great dane or a mastiff, but, for instance, two chihuahuas would take up less than half the floor space Chloe does, yet I’m pretty sure he’d say no to trading ChloChlo in for two chis (and not just because he loves Chloe). IMO, the house was less crowded when we had Ellie and Zack than now with Chloe and Zack, even though Ellie is a good 3 times bigger than Chloe, just because Ellie was docile and calm, and her and Zack didn’t bicker or play noisily together. ]]> http://www.dognews.co.uk/space-for-x-number-of-dogs/feed/ 0 training issues for over excited 14 month lab – any advice appreciated! http://www.dognews.co.uk/training-issues-for-over-excited-14-month-lab-any-advice-appreciated/ http://www.dognews.co.uk/training-issues-for-over-excited-14-month-lab-any-advice-appreciated/#comments Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:01:34 +0000 admin http://www.dognews.co.uk/training-issues-for-over-excited-14-month-lab-any-advice-appreciated/ Firstly hello, am really glad to have found this website. I’ve got some ‘issues’ with my lovely, but easily over excited lab & hope that someone has some suggestions, as its driving me nuts!

Indoors & when we are out on our own he is pretty well behaved, comes back, waits for food, sits & lies down on command; however the sight of another person or worse another dog sends him into such a frenzy he becomes completly uncontrollable when we’re out. At home he doesn’t jump up even at visitors, but when out given a chance he’ll leaps at others.

Its such a shame because he’s a really happy, friendly thing & loves tearing around (he has a huge amount of energy & we’ve really been unable to tire him out, despite taking him up various mountains off the lead!!!). But i don’t feel that i can let him off the lead anymore untill some of these issues are resolved.

All sugestions much appreciated. Thanks

Darwin (cavalier) likes apples, banana, carrot and for the ‘other’ guinea pig poop and cardboard, which he would eats loads of if I let him. Is it harmful for them to eat cardboard or is it just roughage? ]]> http://www.dognews.co.uk/what-else-do-your-dogs-like-to-eat/feed/ 0 Crufts 2010 Broadcast Coverage Under Scrutiny Over Impartiality Claims http://www.dognews.co.uk/crufts-2010-broadcast-coverage-under-scrutiny-over-impartiality-claims-2/ http://www.dognews.co.uk/crufts-2010-broadcast-coverage-under-scrutiny-over-impartiality-claims-2/#comments Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:01:27 +0000 admin http://www.dognews.co.uk/crufts-2010-broadcast-coverage-under-scrutiny-over-impartiality-claims-2/ — GA_googleFillSlot("DogMagazine-300×250"); Click to launch the full edition in a new window The media industry magazine ‘Broadcast’ has today published an article calling in to question the editorial integrity of this years’ Crufts television …Source: DogMagazine.net – the K9 Magazine blog
