Ruff Start Dog Training.

It's not often I get to meet up with owners and see the progress they've made.

Meet Reggie a brilliant 2 year old Spaniel cross possibly a herding breed.
His owner came to me because of barking and snapping at other dogs on walks and understandably she doesn't want things to escalate.
The thing is he just doesn't like rude dogs and people. Can't blame him for that.

They've clearly been working really hard since I meet-up with them, he's now starting to think through the arousal. They should be super proud of what they've done.

34 dogs in terrible condition pregnant with heart issues given up by a apparently Licenced breeder.

I don't know the appropriate swear words.

They need to be jailed and whoever licenced them should be fired.

So the warmongering media are at it again. Persecuting another dog.
When are they going to admit that any dog has the potential to be dangerous in the hands of the wrong person. There are significantly more attacks by small dogs but they don't make for sensationalizing headlines.

At one point you would see a flashy car and say "Trying to compensate for something?" It's getting that way with dogs.

The Corso or Italian Mastiff is a incredibly strong yet versatile breed. In its history it's been used to herd and guard cattle. Help humans hunt bears. (It was their job to find and prevent it from escaping while people used spears).
Yes it's been used in historical warfare. It help guard camps alert scouts and used to pull stretchers taking wounded soldier to relative safety. They're also amazingly loving companion dogs.

I wouldn't trust these people with a dog from build a bear.

Btw this is what they're meant to look like.

Anyone else remember adverts like this? https://youtu.be/mKHY69AFstE?si=73QqIr81F5HEIMj0

It's worth remembering that cheap dog seatbelt attachments are cheap for a reason.

Got one as a emergency need something quickly deal and then never got round to replacing it.

Maleficent who is by far my lightest dog was attached to it and decided to jump from the back seat straight out the boot of the car.
The dog seatbelt attachment? Just came apart didn't even slow her down.

If that had been a crash. My wife my dog or myself could have been deleted.

Don't settle for cheap. Get something not only crash tested but rated.
P.s always attach them to the back of a harness, never the front or a collar.

She came straight back when called.

On the dangerous dogs list here in the UK 😔 and the nanny dog thing is myth, apart from that he's really on point.
