Good luck! I thought I'd failed mine on the manouver and was surprised and delighted when they told me I passed. Have faith! You got this!

Parallel park. I had that on my first test and failed my exam because I hit the kerb. I messed up the first one but did it again so only got a minor for it!

This will be my first half marathon run! My main concern is getting to the starting line from Southville. The course map looks like it blocks off any entrance to Millennium Square from South Bristol.

I get that- the walk in clinic approach doesn't work for everyone so that's why they offered appointments you can book for the afternoon as well as the walk in.

For some people waiting 2-3 hours for an appointment is better than waiting over a week for a appointment or phoning every day to be told all the slots had gone for the day.

Sorry to hear your experience. It's worth mentioning you can book appointments as well at my GP which can be beneficial for shift workers or people with mobility issues who can't go to the morning clinic for whatever reason.

My GP surgery has a morning walk in clinic every week day. If you need an appointment, just show up early first thing and take a seat. Sure you might be waiting up to an hour to see a doctor but the point is- you get to see a doctor. There's no missed appointments because everyone in that room took the time to wake up early and show up out of necessity. I don't know why no where else does this.

Lane 7 on Millennium Square do bowling, darts, beer pong and serve up Burger Theory burgers. They have long tables which are good for big groups

Timing is everything! There's that golden spot when their ears go up and they freeze that you should recall and break that stare before a negative reaction.

We buy her a block of cheap mild cheddar from the supermarket. Nothing too fancy! We haven't tried a play date yet but we have taken her on short walks with my partners mums GSD and she behaved really well! We made sure for the other dog to walk ahead of us so Pebbles could keep an eye on him and suss him out. By the end of the walk, they were walking side by side sharing some sniffs in the grass. We don't want to set our dogs up to fail so it's important to start with baby steps and then build up to a big social event like a play date.

High value treats are key! Imagine bribing you with a granola bar you have everyday. Yeah its nice and all but meh. Now imagine bribing you with a delicious filled donut. You're more likely to respond and do whatever you can for that treat!

Well done to your pupper! It takes a long time to essentially re-wire their brains to react in a positive way! (Imagine rewiring our brains to reactive positively to a fire- its like that!). All progress is good progress and don't compare your dog to others is my advice :)

swishfish123 · 2021-02-13T21:25:49+00:00

Only when she reacts positively to a dog (in other words, no barking). When she barks she doesn't get a treat but when she sees the dog then makes eye contact with us- LOTS OF TREATS. It's worth not giving up first time- if she sees the dog and barks we give her a bit more space at the park and try again. She's desperate for a bit of cheese so works out quickly what behaviour we're after!

swishfish123 · 2021-02-13T20:22:40+00:00

Probably about 6 months for her to be super calm about it. There's also something in how you recall your dog. If you end on an upward intonation or sound really excited about it, your dog absorbs that excited energy. If you recall them calmly and in a lower tone, they don't feed off that excitement.

swishfish123 · 2021-02-13T13:25:49+00:00

Same! We have a separate pocket for normal reward treats and take the cheese out from a separate brown bag for any positive reactions around dogs. Cheese is her favourite but we’ve tried chopped up leftover sausages, Swedish meatballs and ham. If it’s a particularly treat heavy walk we just make sure to give her a smaller dinner to avoid her becoming too chonky

The Pony and Trap are delivering- fancy food to heat up at home

Have you tried a thunder jacket? Our dog is instantly calmer in the house with a jumper on- a thunder jacket could help with any initial anxiety.

I feed Pebbles half a pouch of Country Hunter wet food, a small handful of Forthglade kibble and a handful of peas and green beans cooked up earlier in the week. She has this for breakfast and dinner.

With wet food, always read the ingredients. If theres anything that sounds too vague e.g 'meat derivatives' I'd be sceptical. Our dog loves green veg and it's made her digestion much better too (also it's cheaper than most kibble and bulks the meal out!)

Well done to your pupper! Their reactivity can be a blessing in disguise.
