The dogs generally settle well when the owners are relaxed.</p> <p>Not used Pexion but owners seem to like Sileo.

Of course you do need a sticking plaster for those who don&#39;t do the training in advance...for that I&#39;m sure I&#39;m out of date, I always used diazepam.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
