Hahaha!
The canine club looks really good - maybe i could take ember to obidience and teach her not to try and get in bed with me at 3 in the morning!
Hi Victoria,
I have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Lola and Kruger, and if I have learnt one thing with them it is that YOU NEVER LET THEM ON THE LOUNGE OR IN YOU BED, if you don't want them there for the rest of thier lives! (Capitals only for emphasis, not shouting.)
They are extremely strong willed dogs, as you most likely know. How old is Ember? My two are 2&1/2 and 3. I have done obedience with them and you have to be extremely strong with them and never let them win the argument. Food rewards seems to be the best training technique that I have found, so find a training school that uses this style of training for the best results.
All the best, I am from Australia, so can't help with somewhere to train in the UK, sorry.
Regards, Lolabelle.
