I noticed you’re in Leicester. Was that Loughborough centre by any chance? As that’s where we will likely be going.
Yep, the one in Loughborough. Highly recommend Jake if you get to choose who you deal with.

A couple of our little pup cosying up
Thanks
It's a boy called Louie.
What meats are ok to give to dogs out of the usual Sunday staples of beef, chicken, pork, lamb and gammon?
Has anyone had issues with dogs that just don't want to walk? He will go out in the garden in crap weather but literally just sits down when we are walking him and the only way he will move is being dragged. The only time he has walked is with my mum and dad's two dogs but that was it.
I might try changing to a retractable lead, he might catch me up if iget ahead of him or maybe he'll like having something lighter around him.When my staff was a pup he wouldn't walk either. In the end I changed the lead and from a metal chain one to a nylon one and he started walking straight away. I know from the pics it looks like you already have a nylon one, but I also kept him on a lead whilst playing with younguns indoors, and maybe the dog saw this as a punishment and this is why he refused to walk.

I wasn't sure on the lead in the house tbh, he's alright when he's worn out but normally he's getting too excited and eventually knocks my lad over. I could keep them separate by having my lad in his room or the dog in his cage when they get too much but I thought that would be more detrimental the beneficial as they won't get used to each other. it doesn't seem to bother him being on his lead though. I'll take a bag of dog food with me tomorrow morning when I walk him see if I can coax him to walk.
I've always known puppies to love walking and this is the first I've had refusing to walk
Yeah he looks like a lurcher. He's beautifulSo we’ve just adopted a dog today. Say hello to Conker:
He’s a 12 week old rescue from Dogs Trust Harefield. We know mum was a whippet but we have no idea what dad was. I’m thinking border collie?
It was his first day home today and he’s a tired pooch!
He's still a baby remember. If he stops in walks, then go and hang out with him and then once he starts to move, make a massive deal and do things like throw high value food in the floor to make his walks really reinforcing. As his confidence grows I'm sure they'll be no stopping him
He's an old tyme English bulldog born in July.
Good temperament and seems good with the kids although a little hyper with our 1 year old so when they're both on the floor we tend to have him on a lead just so we can make sure it doesn't get to ruff from either side.
Having fun with him chewing everything he's not allowed and not bothering with what he can have
