Hi,
My poor Ralphie is about to have tendon surgery on his back leg, we need to crate rest him for a few weeks post op but can’t get one big enough.?
Does anyone have a dog pen with tall sides they are no longer using. (I have a small one but he will jump over)
Happy to purchase.
Many thanks.

As a dog trainer and behaviourist is so good for me to be out with my pack each day, observing and learning all the time. Watching my gang teaches and reinforces training practices each day. Get out there with your dog, no phones, or podcast. Just you and your hound. X

Getting a new puppy can feel over whelming and bit confusing from mixed advice. I offer puppy guidance sessions in your home to look at a good crate routine, early toileting, puppy play biting, house rules, early socialisation before allowed out properly. Training tips, it’s never to early. This sessions are so important and some of my favourite session. I’m always there to help and guide you through. Ali x
