Hasn't Hudson grown, he is gorgeous. Well done on coming third at training, it's lovely when you know the training is worthwhile. The chewing when grooming is something Domino used to do, she used to try and eat the brush, growl and show her teeth too. So in the end I used to have a treat in one hand and brush her with the other, eventually after brushing her often, she became much better. She still doesn't like having her tail brushed but just sits down so I can't get to it.

Ali, if it wasn't school holiday time, I would say yes to dog sitting, but I find it difficult to walk Domino in the holidays unless I get up early before Richard goes to work. We are away for some of August too. Are the owners local?
