(Jack, not Steve)
We were advised by a French vet a good few years ago to give Lily some bran to help her 'glands' issue which in addition to not emptying fully we're constantly infected - at the time it was so bad we were serious considering having them removed. We just fed her normal human bran flakes and it worked an absolute treat, withing a week she was much happier and hasn't had any infections since, just the odd squeeze every now and then keeps her in good form.
We're currently parked next to a German motorhomes and his 2 boy dogs, lovely things but of course they don't understand English, however both of them fully understand that when I make a hard "a, a, a" noise it means stop what they are doing!After reading this thread on using different names to call out to get your dog to come to you, Steve was calling out to Jack to come inside from the garden. Anyway, as he sometimes does, Jack ignored him so I went to the door and shouted "screwdriver" and he came flying in
I was just going to ask you if All Bran or Bran flakes can be eaten by dogs. Bran flakes for breakfast tomorrow Jack
We just get the cheapo supermarket ones, Lily will eat just about anything and isn't brand conscious.I was just going to ask you if All Bran or Bran flakes can be eaten by dogs. Bran flakes for breakfast tomorrow Jack

I buy the cheap bran flakes too ...i actually prefer them to Kellogg's .We just get the cheapo supermarket ones, Lily will eat just about anything and isn't brand conscious.
I’m glad Ela is doing better today. I thought of you at dog training tonight. The trainer shouted, ‘Yoshi, come’ and he ignored her. She said have you not taught him to come to youHad a little success today with calling mou mou instead of saying ela come.
She's come rushing to me that way in the house at least 5 or 6 times.
Not as much success in the garden though but will persevere. She's been happier today.
And mum hasn't been such a pita today either but then i did take her to asda ...and Gerry's love a trip round the shops
On anothe note theres still a problem getting calor bottles here it seems and those who do have them are crazy prices , so i took the van to Morrisons in Kirkcaldy and filled up my LPG bottle and have now removed it out the van to use in the caravan for now.
While at Morrisons there were 2 auld guys in a fairly new bailey autograph trying to fill LPG. They were there for ages holding everyone up while they tried connect and disconnecting the hose several times. In the end i got out the van to go see if they needed help. They were trying to fill an ordinary calor bottle inside the locker with one of those bayonet adaptor things off ebay. Every time he disconnected the hose there was gas spraying out everywhere. I told him that he shouldn't be using one of those and especially not inside a locker at which point his mate piped up saying i just filled 2 without problems. The difference being his were empty while this fellas was half full so everytime he opened the valve the pump was not going to work.
I basically told him he was an accident waiting to happen and if he could afford a nearly new motorhome surely he could pay £200 for a refillable kit of ebay.
Needless to say he wasn't happy but i left him to it ,used the other side of the pump that i had to reverse in to and then when i went in to pay i told the cashier he was filling a non refillable bottle.
Morrisons is the only LPG station around here for miles and idiots like that are going to cause problems.
I said yes, but I say ‘Yoshi, here’ so she tried that and he came straight to her! She just wasn’t talking to him in language he understood!
I didn't move her to another area ...but she has to go out to the toilet
Yes, if they are threatening enoughStrewth, I knew some parents have weird ideas as to how to raise their kids but using PDT techniques is a bit OTT ... do you still bite the arms of strangers?
How much bran flakes did you give Lily Minxy, Jack weighs 15kgs
Lily's about 7kg and we give her a handful of flakes. Even though the others don't have the same severe issue Lily had we still give them some as it keeps their systems in good order and reduces the risk of problems developing with them so Tazzy at about 7kg has half a handful and Minky just a few flakes as she's only 3kg.
Thanks, will try just a handful at first with Jack. Some sites say start low then increase but don't say how much to start or continue with
Yoshi was the same on a slip lead, and also a half check collar. I tried using the slip lead as a figure of 8 headcollar and he walks really nicely. I mainly use a figure of 8 headcollar on him and I‘m also training him on loose lead walking with the use of food and toys. I think it’s trial and error because what works with one dog doesn’t work with another.
I think so , but she's not making any choking noises or anything so i don't think its doing any harm. But she pulled less with normal lead and collar just giving a tug and a chhhhh.
No but it seems the way of businesses nowadays .. you've to keep chasing them which is annoying.
Isnt this turning into the norm these days, you have to beg them to come and then they want £1000 a day or something ridiculous. Why is it that a “Grand” appears to be spoken of as being next to nothing. I remember being on a £1000.00 a year with a Company Car,Telephone paid, and expenses and thought l’d arrived, a wife and two children and mortgage to boot.

Sorry Tam, Minxy's spelling of his name is correct not mine if you are going to look for info on him onlineTam, I was watching Graham Hall dog trainer on TV tonight. He is brilliant. Don't know if you get the programme up there. His programme is called Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly. Each week he tackles everything from dogs chasing cars to dogs picking fights with other dogs, really interesting. He gets 100 per cent success rate. (maybe his failures don't get aired
I think that’s great value, assuming it’s 100% guaranteed to provide the appropriate result. Yes it’s an enormous amount of money but over the lifetime of a well behaved and happy dog it’s worth considering.I watch Graeme Hall as well and think he is brilliant at what he does. I was interested to know what he charged so I Googled him and this is what I got
According to his website, If you want a private session with Graeme, it will set you back £875 – if you live in certain areas of England and the Midlands. It'll cost more if Graeme needs to travel further.
