Hi K,
I’m happy for you to use my mother inlaws cavalier, no point using my dogs are both very clicker savy. We are minding her for two weeks and that should lead close to your exam! I can bring her to DTI with me any day I am in work and the day of your practical. She has never done clicker training but is SUPER food motivated and a really lovable little sweetie! If there is anyone that has a foster in need of some basics and would get more from the training then that would probably be better, but the offer is there!Laura
I’m so happy for you and Brandon, I really, truely am! He is a gorgeous dog, you are a great match! I’m teary eyes of happiness for him xxx
Its dogs like Brandon that really make me love my job
Week 1 in the corner and worried and by week 4 walking around nice and relaxed, saying hello to dogs and giving big hugs and kisses to the humans!!! He is a really, really special boy, such a gentle loving dog and so handsome too, I hope he gets that special home that he deserves xxBrandon is a truely fantastic dog, a real gentle sweetie, a very, very quick learner, with an extremely dedicated foster mammy! Whoever adopts Brandon will be very lucky to have a dog like him, that will have the tons of training, practice and lots of cue words under his belt all from his super foster mammy! He is a pleasure to work with in classes and in one lesson his confidence is already very much improved so much so he could be demo dog in class and show the pups how its done
Well done dogsrule on the great job you are doing!

I’d agree with Muireann and if its that bad she probably needs a dental or a least a check up at the vets to see whats going on! Some dogs, even though when on good food, will need a dental younger. I’ve two dogs one is five and she has never had a dental and her teeth are like a one year olds. My other dog Charlie is three and he will probably need a dental some time this year and its down to genetics and he needs to get lactulose three times a day which is full of sugar so making his teeth bad.
My mother in law’s cavalier had terrible breath so I brought her to the vet when we were minding her and it turned out she had gum disease and needed a couple of teeth taking out. She was only four, always fed dry food. Once that was sorted her breath wasn’t smelly at all anymore
Oh well done to Hope and you guys, I’m sure it was a stressful event for all concerned

Bring her outside every two hours at least, when she wakes up, when she is finished a game, after a walk and after eating. Go out with her and wait with her. Put it on cue, so as she toilets say ‘wee-wee’ or whatever word you want. When she goes give her three little rewards. If you can’t watch her pop her in her crate with a kong, so making the dinner, having a shower, poping to the shops. Don’t give her free run of the house, close doors behind you and someone should be watching her. If you know she needs to go and you bring her out and she doesn’t go, pop her in her crate for ten minutes with her kong and try her again. Clean accidents up with biological washing powder to get rid of the smell. If you catch her going in the house say ahah and bring her out don’t be harsh with punishments as she may learn going to the toilet in front of you is bad, not going in the house, if you find an accident after the fact you cannot punish her (even if you show her the wee or poo) she won’t make the association, instead punish the human who was meant to be watching her! Don’t let her free feed her dinner all day, put it down in the morning, lunch time and dinner and if its not eaten within ten mins take it away. Make sure she is on a good quality food as that will reduce the amount she poops. And lastly never rely on the pup to let you know she needs to go out, it is your job to keep checking if she needs to go (eg bringing her out to the garden) so don’t expect her to go to the door if she needs to go, that comes over a long period of time
Well done to you and Ellie today! What a beautiful collie girl
