I chuck leaflets in the recycling bin without reading them. Plus the free newspapers (unless I'm doing some painting), the countless charity bags, pizza flyers.

I don't really have the free time to sift through all the cack. If I want something I'll use a search engine.

As for the dog walking service, I have some interest in it.

I do like my gadgets, but haven't heard of such a thing yet. However my old lab had a rather foul but I suppose semi useful habit of eating animal crap. But apart from that and shameless greediness, we were quite lucky :)
Putting garlic down a dogs throat should stop it eating its poo. except for the days when the ex comes round and you let your dog lick them after eating turds in the yard.

I would be very happy to help you with that- as I said I used to train/informally compete in various doggy disciplines and would love to help other people enjoy their dogs more! Out of interest what is the issue? One thing I will say though is I cannot deal with true dog aggression- but if you contact your vet they should be able to give your dog a once over to check its nothing to do with something physically wrong with your dog, and should be able to refer you to a good dog behaviorist that would be able to deal with that kind of thing :)

she's not aggressive thankfully, its quite the opposite, I cant stop her from licking people and other dogs, she's a pedigree staffordshire bull terrier I have had Staffies for 30 years and this one I just cant seem to crack, she's very willfull by now she should be far more obident, she cries a lot and seems to have seperation anxiety although shes well loved and has a 6 year old KC Staff to keep her company on the rare occasions that we are out. she's 18 months old. I think its me that needs training, not her, any help would be appreciated from an experienced owner, just another perspective really and maybe some new tecniques.

I would be very happy to try and assist you. If you go onto our facebook page our contact details are all there! I helped a friend with a cocker spaniel (little bit different I know!) with the exact same issue- lovely dog and still a little clingy but a 100 times better than what he was :) If you email me further details I shall be in touch!

Whippet lurchers are beautiful dogs, we had a rescue one and she lived to be 21. She was the softest thing on four legs and would never have harmed a fly. Don't judge the animals by the bad owners.

We will not walk more than two dogs at a time
In Laois it is an offence to walk more than four greyhounds at once. Fact.
I can think of 2 greyhound/whippet cross lurcher things i'd like take for a long walk off a short pier with weights round their necks. Do the same to the owner too. Normally a big animal lover but I can't stand those dogs.

I imagine you'll need a CRB to have a paper delivered by a paperboy/girl soon!
My son had to fill out a Risk Assessment form the first time he did his paper round.
