5ac: Restriction on movement of dog- nowhere near common (6). I have C*R*** - curber? curare? Can't see wordplay.
7d: Very serious sign of what is to come (7). I have **R*E*T. Earnest? Portent?
But 7d first letter is 5th letter of 5ac.... So badly fuddled here.

And: 13ac Put in water and gently boiled after a delay of seconds (8). Must be IMMERSED or IMMERGED but can't see which or why!

Thanks for any light cast on these.
