I want to get a dog but I have to work, how does everyone on broadway market do it ?

could you maybe get one of those patches of astroturf over a drain pan that you could get them to piss on and then you'd just need to hose that off. gotta be easier to rinse off than piss covered wood.

Very proud of my little one realising to use the sun bed rather than lying on the floor

My neigbour has 4 dogs and astro turf on top of decking - i need not describe the stench, suffice to say we're going to be replacing the exisitng ranch fence with a solid pannel one soon....
@Sumo im going to buy some of that stuff to try spraying though the fence until then

I may be mistaken but diluted Keyes Fluid might be suitable.

Keyes scorched earth policy in action.

When we went to buy peanut, the woman at the house had them all running about and like they weren't segregated, we could see the whole litter and ended up with the one who came to us.

That does seem a bit red flaggy

Any recommendations for dog behaviorists covering SE London? I think we're in the middle of adolescent ups-and-downs with our 10 month old boy, but he currently seems stuck in a heightened stress response and it's thoroughly unpleasant for everyone. Would love to get a trusted professional involved to put our minds at ease and help us help him through the turmoil, but it's so hard to filter the various people who come up via an online search so any recommendations gratefully received.

Cheers

I've actually done this - built one when I re-did my garden last autumn, failed at training Odie to piss and shit there, then gave up for the winter. We're back on training duties now, so fingers crossed.

and thanks @Sumo and @Chaley - we've ordered some of that enzyme stuff, and in the meantime have been using some natural disinfectant, diluted in a spray bottle.

Luckily he never pisses on the decking, but he does enough pissing on the gravel that it's been really kicking up the last couple of days.

Sorry, probably poor form to just ask for dull practical advice and not post up any gratuitous doggy pics...

I saw Odie's (slightly miniaturised) doppelganger in the park this morning. It threw me off for a second! I should have got a creep shot.

I follow Paul on the insta, he seems ok.
Has a range of techniques which will include an e collar if nothing else is working.

Also looks a good place.

Loose lead - has what appears to be a good story, applies what they know, is quite straight and forthright, without being all Will Atherton et al.

Nice one, thank you! Hadn't seen him via a google trawl so signing up for initial consult not.

Full sends into ponds achieved.

Sorry, missed this!

Ha! There’s a parent at our girls’ school who has a mini-Odie. She’s kind of the opposite though - very nervy and always hiding behind owners legs. Unlike Odie’s obnoxious in-your-face style.

Oof, we used to have 3 dogs in our apartment building, all the same age. Ours is the last left now….fortunately he still seems happy and healthy but a melancholy reminder they’re not for ever. Little buggers.

We've got a load (~95) dentastix for 'medium sized dogs' - 10-25kg - that we're not going to use. Free to anyone who'd like them before they get thrown. SE23.

Cheers

Beauty!

Post?

If you're happy to cover postage costs I don't see why not.

Aww cheers mate. He's such a good boy. Sat on my feet as we speak.

Forum favourite :-)

After four years of ’you can only throw it once, then i’m going to run away with it and destroy it’, dog has decided she can bring the ball back and drop it for us!

Makes a weirdly big/nice difference to the daily routine.
