Jack's New Dog House

Hi,

Jack's current dog house or crate is breaking down due to wear and tear; ie the plastic cover is giving way. I got some tape to repair it, ie the blue tape in the photo.
We have been looking for a replacement but the ones available are just not big enough so we got a friend living in Australia to shop for one and fly it back with him when he was on a business trip here.








Here is the one we got from Geelong. Jack managed to get into it and sit up too but .................











When Jack lay down, his head stuck out....! The house is a bit too short....ha...ha....ha....


My dear wife suggested that we should give him a pillow......ha.....ha....ha.....







When I took him to the vet this morning, I was lucky to have found a second hand dog house that is much larger and can fit Jack, and possibly Ruby too.

This dog crate is from US and if you are interested to look at some of their products, pls check them out at :

Ruby has been naughty lately, as she has been picking up fights with Jack. She would start jumping all over Jack and then somehow ended with Jack retaliating, resulting in a mini-fight and we have to go our and separate them.

Aren't they so cute.. One of those lovely and peaceful moments..ha..ha..

Dog Collars & Leash

Hi,

When I got a personal trainer to teach us how to manage Jack, he suggested a Choke Collar as shown on the left. It was effective but please do not use it with too great a force as you may break the dog's neck especially if it is a small puppy dog.

Subsequently, after changing it to many types of collars ( eg nylon, different catches .... I did not want to choke my dog..... a bit cruel, isn't it especially if it is well behaved), I found an adjustable choke collar. The difference is that when not tugged, the collar is loose unlike the typical collars. Importantly, the size of the collar can be adjusted such that it will tighten exactly to the size of the neck so it is not so much of a choke until the dog cannot breath but the message is conveyed to him. I hope you got what I am trying to say here.


Here is a photo of my Ruby, the Corgi, wearing an adjustable choke collar.
















There are also all sort of leash but I have used this flexible or auto-release and recall leash which give both Jack/Ruby and I freedom to move about. This type of leash is easier found in the pet shop.

The adjustable choke collar is not readily available in the pet shops.
But I found it in an online shop so if interested, click on the BUY button below.
