He's VERY well behaved.... .... When he's asleep! :rolleyes:

Thank you! I think he looks like a cross between a JRT & a bunny rabbit in that picture!! It's the back paws. :D

I've only just watched these videos. The dogs are so patient. The kibble on their paws was precious. My dog will always wait for me to give the go ahead before taking food or toys, but I need to extend that self control to outside the house, where he thinks that doesn't apply! :/

That pic of him was taken a few days after we had him. They previous owners had shaved his fur off.... It's all grown back now. His tail is Fluffy again. :)

Awe, it does make me feel better, actually. In the nicest possible way! ;):D I feel ur pain!

This is really good to know. Worrying is something I'm highly skilled in! Something I wanted to add... When our doggie wants to lick our face, his tongue makes a licking sound as he approaches. I know that sounds silly, but I mean louder than normal. It's as if he's asking if he can lick...

Yep, I think our doggie thinks he must be big and strong if he can my husband yelp! ;) Like I said above, the hand biting is more when he's excited to see us, but in general he bites a bit to hard on my husbands hands. He makes slight teeth marks, but doesn't break the skin. :oops: I've told...

He bites my husbands hand harder than he bites mine! :D It's mainly when one of us has been out & he's excited to see we have returned home safely! He repeatedly jumps and bites. It's not that hard, but I keep my hands out of the way. My husband says "ouch" but because he doesn't move his hand...

All this advice really motivated me to make some changes. I've been reading so much online over the last 5 months and so much of it conflicts with what someone else has said and that has left me questioning if I'm choosing the right approach. I feel like I can put it all together and write down...

Thank you for your reply and video's. All the help is making me feel less alone and overwhelmed. :) It's 4.50am so I'll check the link out tomorrow with great interest. (I wanted to try and respond to everyone tonight, because it means so much to me that you've all taken your time to help.) I...

Yes, I have one of those treat toys as well. :) He has quite a few different ones (I'm trying them all!) His favourite is a round one with a hole it it. He takes it to the top of the stairs and drops it!! Then he goes and picks up all the bits that have dropped out! :D He has no interest in any...

I appreciate everyones reply so much. Thank you :) Yes, I will keep a good distance from whatever he is focused on, I think it's going to take longer than I'd hoped, but that's OK. He will take food if he isn't over threshold and zoned in on the dog etc. I'd say his desire to chase dogs is...

LOL, yes he does have lots of good points. :D Thank you so much for replying :)

I'm trying to post some pictures of him throughout this thread. :)

Thank you so much for your reply :) Yes, I think you're right, I think he's anxious, too. He must have a lot of conflicting emotions. :( He's actually never been in a rescue center, not that I know of, anyway. He's just been sold on and sold on, like a piece of unwanted furniture. I guess he's...

Don't let the cutest fool you!! :rolleyes: People approach him all the time and say things like "Awe, look at the cute puppy!" Their love struck faces soon change when he starts barking at them.. .Which he always does! :( Please check out my thread "Bossy pup with 4 previous homes." He's a JRT X...

Hi guys, I really do hope you can offer me some advice, because I'm feeling overwhelmed. :( We've had our beautiful JRT x Chihuahua since he was 11 months old - he's 16 months now. We know he's had quite a few homes before us, so we understand why he has some issues. First, let me tell you all...
