Re: Vehicle suggestions - twins + pushchair + labs

Wow - thanks for all the comments! Disco 3 (4 would be too much $$$) or truck were on my shortlist ... the other suggestions are pretty small (I currently have a Freelander 2).

Re: If you could give just one tip for a puppy owner....

My tip to my future self - teach them to not bark at the frigging front door :brickwall: :brickwall:

Re: Can pup go up steps

Re: Possessiveness

I've a young lab that would do just the same so I started "swapping" with a tennis ball, but I would hold the tennis ball up by my ear (so he had to look up). After a while I progressed to just "scratching" around my ear, then just faded it doing, and just gave him another dummy ...
