I'm just more curious than anything, living on a busy street/road I thought she might have been more reactive like the previous dogs. It's a blessing for next door lol.

This might sound odd but pip our 8month old is the quiet dog we have ever owned, we got her at 12 weeks old and in that time she has barked 3 times howeled about 4 cried a few especially if put in crate if someone comes round. All my previous dogs have barked madly if the front door is knocked...

My pip is 8 months old weighs just over 10 kilo, at nearly 60 I could carry her a short distance lol. she was and still can be a pain to walk nicely, I made the fatal mistake of walking down a long side road in the middle for the extra space she thought it was great and did full circles around...

You can get a lead with nervous dog leads and coats these days, we once adopted a dog that refused to come in any room if we were in there, had him 13 years, despite every effort he didn't get over what ever it was that caused the issue with his previous owners . He would go in if the room was...

Have you tried going out when it's dark and quieter, my 6 month is nervous of heavy traffic, as I live near a football and cricket ground it can be really busy , Sunday I walked her after work it was dark and drizzling but she was fine with that once we hit a main road she went into pulling...

Have you tried mixing some dry with say mash and veg, pasta, pip enjoyed chicken pasta and veg last night with some of her dry food added, I'm lucky that she will eat anything and I mean anything , when we first got her she did refuse then we added salmon oil, after we soaked it in some water...

Have you tried a harness and double lead, I find it has worked for pip and I, as regards meeting other dogs while on the street I have been known to turn and walk back and either go down a side street or cross over the road and go back the way we were

I started to in the house until my parrot picked it up and started mimicking it , I have ordered some slightly bigger ones and will try when I have her out in the packaging again, she can be pretty good at coming back but the staying back and sitting, letting me put her lead back on was the...

I have partially calmed pips lead pulling by getting a double clip lead where I clip in front of her harness at the chest and the other on top of her back, means I can hook the lead over my arm instead of being wrapped around by hand, I allow her to be in front of me as she has habit of catching...

Do you have a cover on the crate, I found putting a dark cover over the crate settles pip and as its on the landing the light in the bathroom. Can be left on for us humans to see where we are going

I have a crate for my near 6 month old pup to sleep in during the night and when we are in work, she is good as gold in the crate, once she has been out and had her walks that's when it all goes crazy, I bought a stairgate and a loveable barrier to stop her being in the kitchen when I'm cooking...

Maybe a dairy free live yogurt would work faster, I used the same medication on a cat but she had no side effects, sadly she died anyway, we had her for 6 years with no history until she went missing for 3 days and a vet rescanned her and found the chip we had done, turned out she was older than...

Pip is almost 6 months now, relieved a email from my vet about spaying her, I know some suggest letting them have 1 season and some not, my previous dogs were all male and neutered when I got them , the cats we had were all neutered.not noticed any extra attention towards her from male dogs we...
