today i bought a muzzle..i was reading that they can not only stop your dog biting they can also help to calm them down.. so i thought the thought of having a muzzle on may stop fred from barking and going crazy when a dog goes past.... he doesnt do it to all dogs, but i can normally spot which dog he will do it too...

we were walking on the newly created 'great northern greenway' in chad and i spot a man walking a little white pup, so i stop fred make him sit and put the muzzle on....

bloody hell :nonono: i wish i hadnt bothered, he went crazy at the pup, the worst ive seen him... so i took it off and corrected him and waited till he was calm till we continued....

later on as were coming on to the racecourse there is a few dogs about, so instead of keeping him on his short lead i got his flexi lead out and instead of keeping him close and correcting him etc etc...i kept my distance,but still close enough that fred thought he could get to them and i distracted him and kept telling him 'here' he didnt bloomin bother with the other dogs much, had he been on a short lead he would probably have barked and growled

bloomin dog will send me to an early grave

he's certainly trying to test your patience Shelley

So what ya gonna do with the muzzey wuzzey

he is this week karen ... i must be due on early and not know about it... thats when he normally plays me up.....

gonna keep the muzzle sange, may as well add it to my collection of other useless training tools :2431:

your as bad as me

ive got loads sange... my OH goes mad .... im gonna hide the muzzle... he doesnt even realise the lead im using is one i bought a few weeks ago :2431: .... i also bought another new bowl yesterday, its one that you can use in the car or home and it doesnt spill water :nhy: .... wait till he notices that... lol

we should open a second hand shop

i wouldnt want to part with it though, in case i needed it.... i prob never will.... but you never know lololol

I spent almost 40 quid on Ellie on sunday gazi aint got a clue how much it was though

:2431: im just as bad .... i never tell the OH how much i spend :nhy: ...

No need really is there
