He has discovered his bark since we moved here and likes to reply to the yappie-dogs that pass our front door. Poor eyesight, amazing sense of smell.

Wine Legs Nov 2020 9:26am, 2 Nov 2020 5,557 posts	0 Wine Legs I'm enjoying reading about everyone's dogs! I did NOT know what breed Ernie or Wanda were, so that's been nice. Has anyone used Absolute Dogs for training? I REALLY need to start focusing on training Skye, but puppy classes are booked until January, and that is too late. Also, thing are likely to be cancelled now aren't they? My dad was always a negative trainer, rather than a positive one, and I want to be a positive trainer with Skye. It's going to be challenging for me to learn that change.

Wine Legs Nov 2020 1:47pm, 2 Nov 2020 5,561 posts	0 Wine Legs Dog farts. Bleugh. I think that information should be included with 'about your breed' details. They tell you how much exercise they need, whether they shed, how intelligent they are, how big etc. How stinky should definitely be included too. Skye is rancid. She's on dry puppy biscuits and some bits of chicken as training treats. Why does she smell SO BAD???
