Naw you're right. . . my dad was cack. . . lol

keath has a phrase that sums them up perfectly. . . F*ckTards.

lol and the Nanooks

Welcome to the pack, and now that you've got some clothes on (page set up lol) you can get down to the business of introducing yourself and Kiera . . .who is veeeeeery pretty by the way. Don't be shy join in . .

Yeah teams mixed outta a hat brill. . . Get it wrong have a shot. . . .I vote absynthe. . . bolloxed after one question . . lol Sci-fi questions round. TV characters round impersonation round Just ideas

fanx. . .it will work out ok. . . Also as YOU said when you do have the chance you will work on long term loose lead training with Blaze. one way or another he'll do you proud.

Lol. . .yeah, at first we had to chase Darwin around the house to it on. . .now there is just a few head turns before he lets us put it on. persevere. . .we were told that Darwin would throw sommersaults and drag backwards on a halti. . .while he doesn't like it. And tries to rub it off on the grass he does walk so much better. . . .as I said earlier it should only be for a couple of months till they are routinely wslking well by your side then start to alternate between halti and normal collar over another month or so phasing out the halti he should continue walking nicely.

I've yet to meet a dog who does'like' the headcollars. Echo and Darwin will spend the first 5 minutes of the walk rubbing thier heads along the grass or rubbing against my legs. . .but soon they settle and walk mostly loose lead from then on on. As kelly says we have all 3 leads tied together at the handles and they pass around the back so if any of the dogs gets distracted by cats or birds or in echo's case other dogs and lunges or pulls the wieght is distributed across your back. Also it means you hold the leads close to the ends and they walk close to heel position. So you have close control and they are not stretched out in front of you, swapping around and tangling leads etc. Works for us

Hi, Helen welcome to the forums. Ask all the questions you want. . . First go to the Main section of the forum and read the section entitled So you're thinking of getting a Husky this tells you ALL about the good and the bad points of owning a Husky. We would like you to be fully aware of what kind of dog you are taking on. Too many huskies end up in rescue shelters because people get them without doing thier homework first. if you still think you can handle this breed then we will help all we can. Good luck. . .

lol whenyour finger stops hurting you'll notice the tooth marks in yer bum. no idea why Shiloh mightsneak up n bite you on the derrier. Finger wounds are a pain in the ar$e (pun intended lol) Hope it gets better soon.

Yes I agree with you on the general principles of safe usage the headcollars. nix has to get some exercise and poo wee relief in a short period. We are simply trying to find a practical solution.

Lol BEC unfortnately Nix isn't living in a perfect world and doesnt have the option of doing ANY kind of one on one training. she HAS to take all three at the same time due to time and work constraints. she needs a solution where she CAN walk all three at the same time without doing herself injury. while Haltis and other headcollars are not ideal they can help in the short term to curb the pulling and get the job done. As Kelly said we are using them to get them walking nicely then once that is working we are alternating between the haltis and normal collar or harness gradually phasing out the headcollars until they walk well without.

If you put the pics on your gallery and let us know which ones we'll all have a go at something for ya. . .

Wow sounds fantastic. . .great that they got on so well.

Alternatively you can do it online. . . apply for the license . . .that is. . .lol http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Motoringtransactions/BeforeyouapplyA/DG_10032690

That's ok we only have to bludgeon you over the head with the truth enough times until you get the idea. No big deal. . . lol

I ban you because you would not get them back

We'd all be on death row. . . . What would happen if. . . .this was heaven ?

I ban you coz I have to take the dogs for a walk soon as well

they'd go out get lashed and end up in strip club in Vegas What would happen if. . .tongues had fingers on the end ?

I ban you for wearing funky wellies

gunge uk would be a literary genius. What would happen if. . . .fairy tales really happened

I ban you because Koda is pushing her boundaries with Darwin

Hmmm That sounds like a spiffing idea, positively genius I would say. . .lol. . .

you would be put in a straight jacket and locked up in a padded cell and fed hourly doses of Ketamine. What would happen if. . .root beer didn't taste like germolene
