Have you had a look in between the blades ? If its full of hair the blades cant slide back and forth. Take a soft brush and remove the hair once all the hair is removed place a small drop of blade oil in the middle of the blades and then switch on for a sec (this works the oil into the blades) switch off and wipe the unused oil off with kitchen roll. You gotta do this ever time you use your clippers. Im a hairdresser and I use Wahl clippers all the time ... I know what you might be saying... a hairdresser ??? Dont laugh ;) but I do know how to look after my clippers and how to use them on really thick hair.  Did you get any gaurds with them ? or are you just using them free with no gaurds. You gotta start real slow and go against the hair. If the hairs really thick .... go slow ! and let the blades do their work and keep removing the hair so the blades wont jam. Dont push the blades too hard onto the hair or you will go too deep in sections and just pull on the hair and it will look frazzled at the ends or take big chunks out. Its better to start with a high gaurd and work down and keep removing the hair from the blades as you go.  hope this helps.

I dont use his collar when walking I use a padded harness and a bungi lead.I swap the lead over when we get to the hills and have him on a long line for the "come" command.

He will only pull a little when he see someone and wants to say hello. Mind you I think he'd be off if he saw a bird or a squirrel. I use his collar in the house with a training lead and im not really worried about his pulling as its not bad for a 5 month pup and he will walk to heel (almost  ;D) At first I thought he was hungry but he's walked after his meals. So im lost  :-\ yet we have no probs with his chew toys or bones, he brings them to you for a play. He will sit and stay for his food till you tell him "take it" I tried the rattle bottle and he thought it was something else for eating. ::) lol
I guess the only way is not to let go of the bowl  ;D  mind you its a good way of making sure he's not scoffing it down so fast . He always had hiccups after his meals and thats stopped now  ;)

He would jump up ... but when he's told "off" he'd do it no prob's, but he will still sit, stare and lick his lips. :-[ Im not sure about the muzzle. I dont want to give out the wrong impression. We are given a wide swerve at the moment as most folk round our area(Scotland Edinburgh) dont know about malsky's and think they are a really dangerous breed.Plus he's only 5 months so stil a (big) baby and I dont want to scare him.
 Malsky's by nature pull and jump up at meeting folk even if they dont have food so thats a hard one.

a quick update ... We have been feeding Chinook from our hands and and clapping him (head body ect...) not a prob, but as soon as you lift your hand from his bowl... its his! then you get a growl. So Ive been making him sit in between mouthfulls till he's halfway, then I take his bowl away and replace it with a reward and lots of praise. I keep doing this till his meal is finished. But now he's started to hoover up food/rubbish from outside and its a huge struggle to get it off him. He will eat anything then sick it up in his crate later and gets aggresive and tries to protect his sick ... :o YUCK!  ??? ??? Im worried that he might end up with a blockage. He's so food aggresive when we go for a walk he will eat anything and I mean anything!. Am I not feeding him enough or the rite kinda food ??? he gets 3 meals per day. 2 with kibble 1 with cooked chicken and rice.

Hi all.. I have a quick question ..not with my dog (oh thats later ). We might be posted to Ralston Canada is there anyone on bpo thats already there or near abouts to piont out the pro's + con's in living there. I've never lived outside of Scotland and im a bit worried about moving so far away.

 We've looked up loads on the net but first hand info is always better .. If anyone can help it would make me feel loads better. Oh we're also taking our dog ( we wont go without him) so I'll be needing advise on air travel and stuff like that.

Cheers Annie

Hi I need advise with a wee prob thats only just started. My 5 month male mal/husky has started to growl and snap when his bowl is lifted. Now we have always made a point of making him wait till we eat(out of a similar bowl)first then he can take his food. Then during his feed we lift his bowl as we've been told to do this. But only in the last week or so he's started to growl and even a wee snap.  Can anyone help ?

Cheers Annie

Hi I just wanted to give you a quick update on how the nipping is going ... Well the water bottle has been working a treat. ;) He has just about stopped his nips. We now carry the water bottle around with us and he just needs to see the bottle and he stops .. What a great tip thanks .. Now how do I get him to stop chewing his lead .. lol   :D

Cheers
Annie
