He got sausage, he loves sausage. I keep sausage for training and walks only, never just as a little treat. It might be some time before he does it again, but I work on the theory and hope that if he's done it once, he'll do it again.

I've always had a moth phobia

Eddi! Joking.I'm not scared of him any more.

Eddi likes the car but he seems to anticipate what will happen when we stop. After the vet yesterday I to call at the shops so I had to leave him in the car for 10 minutes. He did his usually barking and whimpering, when he realised he wasn't getting out he stopped, and wasn't barking when I...

Thanks. We do love travelling, we took our Beagle all over America and into Canada then into Europe when we returned to the UK, so we really want to sort it out. He will bark, but if he will stop when we command and he can get used to other dogs, he will be manageable.

Five months is a very short time, seems like 5 years sometimes! I go on a Patterdale forum and they just say they are a nutty breed and laugh at what they do. I don't want that for Eddi, the more he can behave himself, within reason, the better his life will be. I think he's got into a bad...

We've only had him for 5 months and we were a bit naive, he was cute and the best behaved dog in the Kennels, not barking, wagging his tail. We took him for a walk and he was fine. We didn't know he was a Patterdale until we were signing for him and we should have backed off and checked, neither...

He's not too bad indoors for barking, he does go through phases when he barks at everything, fridge clicking over. OH moving around upstairs. noise on TV, dust falling. I used to put the radio on to reduce the background noise for him, then every time I was on the phone and he'd start barking...

It feels like that at the moment Josie. I almost feel like a prisoner in my own home, because I don't like taking him anywhere as he barks and I daren't leave him too long because he had SA. If we have to muzzle him for spells for our won sanity, then we will have to do that. We won't do it for...

Sorry, you got it in one!

I think Josie means testing out the camping.

Another thing I do which I've just realised, I have to go out shopping now and he came running up when he saw me put my shoes on. I just say calmly 'no, you're not coming', I've done that every time for weeks, he just went back to his bed. If he is coming with us, I put his harness on before I...

My dog developed SA 3 weeks into adopting him. He used to vomit and eat it and sometimes urinate. He's two and a half and we've had him for 5 months now so what we did might not help you. I bought a waterproof bed to start with and took away his blanket while we were out - that was for my...

I had to cut this morning's walk a bit short, we pass a Husky and it was in the garden and the gates were open. I retreated quickly in case it wasn't tethered, I didn't want that problem. I'll make it up to him later. I think this is a good thing, in the distance as we were coming back, two...

My last dog was a Beagle and she rarely barked. We looked after the sister-in-law's dogs once and when they went for a walk together, my dog thought she was back on the hunt and let out a really horrible sound if she was on the scent of something. The other dogs just ignored her. That was the...

We've been to Portugal before, if you go to the tourist places especially the Algarve, the roads are good. there is also a motor way from around Lisbon I think right down to the Algrave If you go into the interior where the small villages are they might be a bit rougher. Going East to West is OK...

Thanks for that. We are going to Portugal to check it out with a view to moving before Brexit. We lived in Spain and we want to see how it compares as we didn't care for Spain as a place to live in. The OH is also looking forward to a holiday in the warmth as he has been working so hard. I am...

No need to get cross @leashedForLife , we knew there might be a problem that's why I asked the question.

We'll just have to put the muzzle on when he is barking manically and hope that we can take it off when he settles down. we don't want him to have it on all the time anyway, that would be no fun at all! He has had a muzzle on when he had a bad paw and we didn't want him to snap whilst I looked...

My dog as a terrible bark, it's loud and penetrating.
