Blimey, I'm getting in trouble today! ;-)

(Came back to this thread from an email notification and didn't realise that it had become an "all encompassing pet's corner" thread.... Thought it was still Phil's "New Puppy" thread)

You are not in any kind of trouble. ;) My post was to all and sundry not just your good self.

I know! Just feeling touchy today as I've been blamed for all the stuff the dogs have done wrong! ;-)

And here you have the perfect vehicle to express you opinions on their actions and how they affect their owners.. Pets that is not wives, that'll have to be another thread. :D

We have had many rescued moggies over the years and to go with our present pair we have tamed a local Pheasant....not peasant!, who shmbo has christened Fred!, I shall find a picture if you like, what a splendid idea for a thread!!P.

Wally, our NZ moggie, who has taken a shine to the vacuum cleaner :D

Hi Phil.

Congrates on your newest family member, i am sure you will have years of fun together. The best advise i can give you is....

Inform your neighbours to explain you have a new puppy and state you are training the pup and their could be some barking for the first week and apologise.

Leaving Oscar for the first time, do not make a fuss that you are going out. Do not leave Oscar for prologed periods at this stage, 15 mins first day, 30 mins second day etc etc. Make sure he has plenty of things to occupy him such as a radio left on, toys such as a KONG filled with KONG PASTE or such like, maybe a rolla treat ball, if you are using a crate same applies. When you return make sure you make a big fuss of him and reward if he's been good.

hope this helps, any problems please pm me, its my job lol

Persever and remember you are the boss not Oscar.

Cool! What do you do then?
