Re: Lead problems

I use a martigale collar to avoid the chow 'head toss & off' manouver. Adjusted correctly there is no way they can get them off! If you like the harness, get one where the lead attaches to the front of the harness so you will have control over Bramble :D For the show ring, you can get a martigal...

Oh wow, I like this. You chow peeps are nice to look out for little Louie like this. I really like the seagull idea but I'm not sure about the sea (Millie's says that what i ran away from when it made my paws wet yesterday) It's looking good for me to get out of here though =D= p.s. nobody's said th...

New home needed!

'Cause I'm leaving this one! I just about got dirty enough to be a proper chow boy when they put me in the bath... the cruelty :cry: So, if you have a lot of dirt for me to play in, lots of food (they also starve me here) & promise never to bath me I'll be taking applications. Please don't tell ...

Re: Chow nose

I love noses! I think maybe Louie's will look like Coco's, he has that little white around his nose that Coco has :D But Alf, his nose was the bestest :x

Re: Say 'hi' to..

Thanks everyone. He sure is a little sweetie, although very different to Alf. It's a good thing, but also highlights how much I still think about him. I guess I always will, but hope one day I'll smile more than i'll cry about him.

Millie's new little brother! I hesitated to post about my little chubble bubble today, but figured he's here not just in memory of my beloved Alf'n'wobble but for Milly Ching as well. He's almost killed me with sleep deprevation, but is the best little puppy ever. He came house trained at 8 weeks, i...

That handsome red chow is in all the ads for that size 'midwest' crate \:D/ He's also in some ads about to jump into an SUV with a crate in the back. I pointed him out to Millie & Louie in the petstore the other day :D

Re: Can't take off leash

I've always been lucky with teaching recall, but it is very dependant on the dog. I'd start with a long line in the park & do the same as Coco says. You may never be able to let your chow off... that's why there are very very long flexi leads :roll: :lol:

Re: which harness ?:o)

Am I being unrealistic? No! I walk mine on a martigale collar (but that is because I fear their escape from a flat collar) & they don't pull. It is hard work to train this though, & I would recommend a front fastening harness as a training / management tool until you have it trained. Dogs p...

Re: In Remembrance of Alf (Layla's Alfonse)

Thank you all who posted about my baby boy. It brings me comfort that he was so widely loved & appreciated. Poor Millie is being smothered with affection at the moment, she's doing far better than us. For that, I am glad.
