I experimented with looking at your web site in my iphone and the layout does not seem to be right. Might wanna check it out on WAP as well as it seems most mobile phone layouts are not working with your website.

HI Steven,
My partner and I absolutely LOVE your show. Yous dedication and passion for dogs make you such a delightful host for the show. While watching some old episodes our dog gave us a big laugh.In Episode 13 when you were at the Paw Store and squeaked the i-paw.Our dog was at our feet snoozing and suddenly jumped up and looked around for the source of the squeak.We laughed so hard. I enjoyed the episode with how to handle a dog pulling on the lead.Very helpful.We get something out of every episode. A wonderful show. Thank you for putting it all together.
Cheers
Bradley and Melissa

“Don’t be afraid to give gentle corrections if required”

What is the criteria for when corrections are required? How do dog owners determine when the dog is deliberately not complying versus the training for correct behavior incomplete or incompetent?

It is in the dogs best interest to remove the dew claws,they are prone to tear if caught, causing great pain.

As for tail docking! The UK would have to be the most animal loving country and they still dock the tails! as for the US, have a look at what they do to the poor animals ears, they look weird with those stupid pointed ears. If tail docking and dew claw removal is done by a veterinary surgeon, I say why not? they not only look better but this can prevent a tail injury, Boxer lovers know what boisterous animals they are.

How about those involved in animal welfare concentrate on closing all the puppy farms down, banning the sale of animals in pet shops and get serious about animal welfare. I would suggest raids by the Australian Taxation Office, Centrelink, RSPCA and local councils to all these disgusting parasitic “puppy farmers”. They make enormous amounts of money from these poor animals and none of it would ever be declared to ATO or Centrelink.STOP THE SALE OF ANIMALS IN PET SHOPS AND THESE PARASITES HAVE NOWHERE TO SELL THEIR SAD COMMODITY,they certainly don’t want prying eyes looking at the way they make their “living”

The idea is exactly the same as circumcising a baby. It’s simply removing the problem before it can occur. A baby has no recollection of being circumcised when it’s older, and a pup would have no memory of the tail docking or jew claw removal when it’s older, but it would certainly suffer more if the jew claws were ripped off or infected as a result of an accident, which is why it was performed initially in controlled environments where infections could be monitored and managed whilst whelping.
My 10 yr old boxer has a large callous on the end of his stub that hair has never covered. I’m neither for nor against the practice but I hate the thought of having that callous spread through the length of a full tail.
My only point is: if it’s barbaric to dock a tail or remove jew claws, then it must also be barbaric to circumsize a baby, therefore if docking is illegal, then so should circumcision, or if circumcision is legal, then docking should be also.
I’m only showing both sides of the debate.

Hi Emily, thanks for watching. Well done with the tricks! We did do a few segments on tricks a while back. Always fun. At the moment we are not in production, but it’s something for us to keep in mind. Thanks!

Hi Steve! We just LOVE your show! We started watching not long ago. I think you should do a story on dogs doing tricks because I have taught my 1 year old cocker spaniel over 40 tricks this year, all through the use of Positive Reinforcement! Dogs are very smart, and can learn almost anything! You could even ask people to send in clips of their dogs doing tricks! Hope this helped your show!

Hi Simeon, first of all, the usual disclaimer: I’m not a dog expert of any kind! (I just play one on TV). However, my first response is that she’ll grow out of it! We had the same problems with Kosmo at that age. But that doesn’t help you much right now. Contact a behaviourist or trainer in your city and they’ll be able to help you. Good luck!

Hi there I need advise before I go mad. I have a Hungarian Vizsla who is 8mths old, she is a wonderful mate. However she has two speeds on and off. I’m running out of ideas to keep her busy.. also i wont her to start living out side a little. each time ileave her out side she digs to china or starts re-aranging the garden. She has lots of toys and gets walked every day this is still not enough to slow her down or keep her busy.. I think she also needs some formal training but not sure what and where.. Any advise or assistance would be greatly appreciated..

A good starting point might be the Dogs NSW Breeder Directory. You could also try contacting the Brittany Club in Victoria. Hope that helps!

Loved the Lure Racing Footage. Even saw my Mini Longhaired Dachshund “Scout” !! She looked so funny Racing up the Track – like a Rabbit jumping up and down as she heads towards me.

Thank You for coming out and seeing what we get up to.

Can we still see footage of the day.
