That's good Helegant, but at least this man must know his behaviour has been seen and *maybe* he'll behave better from now on (no, I'm not hopeful about that either.:-()
I'm feeling sorry for Flossie that we are going back to Cheltenham tomorrow, and won't be back at the seaside for at least four weeks now. It is remarkable how much more animated she is on our beach walks. She *adores* running along in the shallows, coming out, running back in, fetching sticks (as long as they don't float out of her depth ;-)), just everything about it. Even her walks with her absolute best friend Lily don't see her so excited. Rivers and streams are good, but she's a salty sea-dog for sure

Aw that's lovely, LD. Jess is insane about the beach, I wonder if most dogs REALLY like it.

Wanda loves the beach. We have to be careful in Sheringham as it can get quite crowded and not everyone welcomes a Staffy X in the height of full enjoyment of their environment (!) but the vast expanse of beach at Holkham out of season is her favourite.
We have also just booked a stay at Camber Sands out of season which I hope is going to be similar and I hope even more there may be a relatively local 'guide' to the best beaches there for dogs???

We will most definitely join you at Camber - it is brilliant for dogs and for people!

So what would you do with a 9 month old puppy who insists on barking at anyone (family /friends) who comes into the house and isn't part of the family unit, and won't give it up...barking for hours on end?

Does he bark at them if they are in the garden? I'd ask a friend to help out. Get them to come round and start from where the dog is happy for them to be and reward highly, then gradually move them closer to the house (on the pavement, driveway, garden, doorstep, inside front door). Loads of rewards for calm behaviour. Do you use settle at all?
