... Hi Anne It is difficult - that is why I find the crate a better way to go. Cover them when they are barking & they stop. I now do not have to cover my...
Thanks again Ronnie, I have never crated before but will definately give this a go, by a crate I guess a good big wire cage would suffice. I travel to horse...
... Hi Anne Yes, you want the dog to be waiting patiently FOR YOU. Not for the dog to have you on demand. As I said, I was never a believer of crates, but am...
Hi Anne Here is a link to a cheap crate for you to start with - to see if that was the way you wanted to go. This link had just be posted to the Agility List....

Hi everyone, I'v been in this group for a while but I've never posted until now. I thought I'd just tell you a little about my Smithy Bailey. I got her last...
... although a little naughty. Renaye Bailey looks the sweetest litle thing :-) No point having one if it is not naughty - that's half the fun. I agree with...
It's lovely to hear how all the pups are 'maturing" - loose term in my circumstances. Teddy is certainly a cutie and thankfully does not have Ruben's humurous...
Hi all, this is my first post on the group and it is to ask a question about the smithfields tail. Are there any smithfields with naturally stumpy tails? l...
