Thanks for that. I had a look but it looks a bit too much like a muzzle and a lot of people assume that a muzzled dog is a bit nasty. Iggy is hyper-gregarious and wants to be friends with everyone, so bounding up to people while also giving off those sort of bad vibes could cause issues.
I know what you mean, but they don’t when they’re on. our Dane is the same and given his size we found this the most effective way to make sure he doesn’t try to cross a road to say hello to someone. very similar, tried a Halti but they are thinner and obviously uncomfortable as the dogs were constantly trying to take them off.
You can achieve the same result with a loop around the the nose with a standard lead. Mine really didn't like it and was constantly pawing at it.
Me and the dogs ofte pop into my local around 4 ish for a quick pint, purely to break up the working from home all day thing. Its only three doors down so its quite nice to have it on your doorstep and were well known in there and my dogs get on well with everyone. A new bar lady started up a couple of months ago whos not the greatest but she probably gets paid about a tenner an hour so wgaf etc.... She bought her staffy in yesterday and was chatting with another one of the bar ladies and they shrieked and turned to me and said one of my dogs had shit on their floor. Obviously i was horrified but when i took a moment to hmmmm it wasnt any of mine. a)two of mine were sat on the couch with me and the other one (who was wandering around "meeting" people as usual) has never done that in nearly 7 years of going to the pub so why would he start then? It also neither looked or smelt like mine and you can always tell. Anyway to cut a long story short i had to clean what i suspect was her fucking dogs shit up and wander off with our tails between our legs. I will get to the bottom of it though lol.
Not heard that before ? Our pups go on it from about 4 months old. It's just natural salmon oil. Pump action dispenser, so 1 'squirt/day' for pups & 3 'squirts/day' for adults (added to their normal food)
Got to add "....and expnese you didnt know could exisit" to that list But as per JB, when they look back at you and make you laugh its usually worth it, even with a moo thats eaten 3 sofa, 15 trainers and wont do a thing she is told without treats to make it happen
I hate it when people dont pick up after their own - the dog parks we use are generally pretty good, and get that you cant watch all teh dogs all the time and stuff but the amount I clear up of other peoples annoys me
And leaving fucking gates open. Our village cricket ground is only ever really used by dog walkers in autumn and winter, yet without fail, at least one of the 3 gates will have been left open. As a result, at least two dogs that I know of have escaped on to the road and been hit by cars in the last 4 years.
The worst one is when you see someone whos bagged it up and thrown the fucking bag into the bushes or hung it on a tree branch (wtf?).
