Have a look at Frontpro tablets online. Very similar ingredients to bravecto, and no prescription needed. Might be just the trick for your dogs next time 👍

Blow the turn whistle when it decides to turn back towards you. Repetition and it will associate the whistle with the turn. Also walk in a zigzag pattern yourself, you turn away (left or right) when you want your dog to. And as you whistle.

While researching I've noticed the shotkam app has a rating of 2.1 / 5 which is pretty scary for such a price tag!

I've been tempted for a while, to get a shotkam for my bird shooting, but have struggled to warrant the £650 price tag as wouldn't use it that often. I've just seen that PARD have made a competitor, and wondered if anyone has given it a try? £330 is a lot more reasonable and I've been a big fan...

It might be better for many customers, and their animals, if we didn't have those surgical advances, better diagnostics or effective drugs, if it meant that more people could still afford our services.

The problem is that the governing bodies (RCVS and also management within corporate bodies) demand that vets spend so much of their time doing admin and the like, which results in seriously reduced productivity. Does it improve clinical standards and patient care? Yes, possibly. But would...

You can train a dog by yourself or at a 1 to 1 class until you're blue in the face and the dog is perfect. Then you go on a shoot or into public, and there's other dogs about, and you're back to square one. Group sessions are very important because they are the only way to teach a young dog how...

The best breed there is. He looks a beauty
