Post a picture of your pet

Yeah he’s lean and not the biggest (32kg) but really powerful. I’m not the smallest person in the world at nearly 90kg but can only just control him when he’s pulling. The wife can’t walk him as he’s pulled her off her feet twice.

He’s great with people but not with dogs, cats or large vehicles. I think he’d be a lot better off the lead but can’t risk it as he would kill smaller dogs. I just have to take him out to the Black Mountains or Beacons with me. I haven’t found anything that tires him yet - I’ve done 15 mile walks in the hills and come home only for him to get his toys and demand I play with him!

Just wish I couldn’t sort him out. I’ve spent a fortune on different trainers / behaviourists including a 3 week residential ‘behaviour modification’ course but nothing works.

Watch his you tube videos.
Very impressed

Oscar enjoyed his dip in the sea yesterday 😀
Not fond of water and usually jumps over puddles 😬
I went in for a wee paddle and encouraged him in after a stick.
He got more confident so threw in his squeaky blackberry, one of his prized possessions so went right in to rescue it 👍🏼
Such a sensitive boy

Thanks, I’ve watched quite a few of his and tried doing what he does with no success. I’d like to be able to to send Wolfie to him for a few weeks but that’s not really viable unfortunately.

Introducing our Cockerpoos - Lenny (L) and Humphrey (R). Great nephew and great uncle respectively, hence the similarity. Not easy to train, pretty sure a treat was just off camera to get this pic.

He does come across very sensible and knowledgable.

Big caveat, I've not personally owned a dog, but doing similar things to Atherton I got my sister in law's annoying little dog behaving nicely in about 5 minutes. To be fair to the little mutt he just wants attention so it is so easy to "train" him just by fussing him when he is behaving nicely and turning your back and ignoring him when he's being a pain; naturally the opposite of what my SiL does with him !

Every now and then I get a glimpse of the intelligent, calm dog I was hoping for before the slightest perceived threat sends him into guarding mode
