geomark Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Interesting article and the non-linear ageing makes sense with the dogs I've had. Your pet clearly ages faster than you do, but new research is giving us a much clearer idea of just how old your dog really might be. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200106-how-to-calculate-your-dogs-real-age?ocid=ww.social.link.whatsapp
DJR Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Stella seems to be a quick learner. Some way there with the house training after just 4 days (had to start buying newspapers again). Clear signs of a strong instinct to carry things around in her mouth - very good for a retriever. Also show the opposite side of that coin - chewing anything she can reach. She is also already startling to come to the whistle, albeit with a clear food bribe at the moment. No more night time howling if left alone in my study, but still put up quite a sad bit of opera if put outside alone. It is so good to have a dog again. I rush home after work like when the boys were little! Baldrick, Blokman, Gen and 6 others 9
DJR Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Mrs DJR said I'm not allowed to discriminate against Fish and Chips, Ds' two goldfish. This is Fish! Chips hid in the greenery when I stuck the camera in their bowl. Pet-non-discrimination noted! Obligation fulfilled Edited January 19, 2020 by DJR Vetseun, Red Robin, EvanB and 6 others 9
geomark Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 The city rescues got their 1st real bush experience this weekend. They've been building up to it with park walks and increasing less risk of them just disappearing over the horizon, plus practice in the car going to have coffee/lunch at restaurants. So rented pet friendly place with lots of hiking options in the Magaliesberg. You've never seen two happier and busier dogs All those new smells and sounds and endless freedom. Only 2 minor temporary disappearances over franklin and duiker. SwissVan, Wannabe, HdB and 5 others 8

Andymann Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) We were practising Sit and Stay on the weekend. So much so that I could get her to stay long enough to put a VR46 can down, take a photo, and abuse my Cape Town family who are big Marc Marquez fans, about how smart my dog was and how thick theirs are.....

Andymann Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Someone has discovered the upstairs Gym.... She's odd - this has become her place. Fancy dog hammocks, plush cushions, the Futon... And she heads to medicine ball under the sit-up bench. Wannabe, HdB, Gen and 3 others 6

Ha ha ha.. I love showing off with our Enzo too... but then my mom in law sends videos of her dogs...and we are like.. Enzo we have work to do.[emoji1787][emoji1787] Okay her dogs are older and more advanced lol.. on one weekend she had 3 dogs do competition.. one did BH, one did IGP 2 and one did IGP3.. I really take my hat off to her she is in her 60's and she is a boss when it comes to dog training. Edited January 21, 2020 by Gen DJR 1
Andymann Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 ya those dog gurus are something else hey. We struggle for half a class to get her to sit and stay for 5s. The trainer comes along and manages to get her to lie down and stay like that for ages. I'll be happy though if at the end if it, she just doesn't run away when we take her off-lead! Gen 1
