Don't worry I get by, it's just draining with all the unexpected things that happened to me this year with my own health, big increase in workload and stress at work which weren't there when I got there I just need a little relax time. I also am at my worst every year in winter and best in...

It is one of those things where if she didn't stress me out due to what she does I have more energy to take her out and for longer walks so quite frustrating. So the solution to the problem is something that is hard to due because of the problem, can't win.

As in I am giving her half the full amount I used to give her twice so it makes the same amount. Anyway back from vets her glands are ok but discussing it she thinks my girl is anxious and gave me some anxiety pills for her, I also noticed my girl has lost just over 1kg since I last used this...

Only just started yesterday, I gave it a few days to see if she improved with less food and when that didn't work have given her half food yesterday and half today.

Just saw your comment there, shes a working type I have had since 9 months old and living in same flat. Going by previous diet, she was best on plain cooked chicken, and also cooked regular mince. She was bad on chicken mince but I was told here that is likely as I didn't give her anything with...

I grew up with a collie, and then my parents got another collie when I was in my mid 20's so I am used to them and both were from working backgrounds but each dog is different though I am aware how sly and intelligent collies are and how they love attention. Pre when I broke my leg I was going...

Today has been a terrible day for me, from about 11am onwards she kept wanting out, but she did do a few smaller poops today in garden but wanted out at least once a hour and sometimes back to twice in a short period and it's a bad day for it as I was swamped at work so stressed so didn't need...

Aaand it didn't last long Took her out around 9.45 for a walk and she did a pee but no poop and a few minutes ago noticed she went into my bedroom smelled a strong scent of poop and saw a wet patch there but no sign of poop. I know from past experience when she poops indoors she eats it so she...

Will keep an eye on it thanks, since Wednesday she has improved since I cut down a little on her food i.e rather than 4 fist fulls of food its more like 3 or 3 and a half, she didn't want out during the night on Wednesday or Thursday at all and last night she did but not until 4am and has calmed...

Yeah, various things with my life such as when I broke my leg meant things were hard to impliment. I used to walk her more before I broke my leg it's just uncomfortable to do so these days, weight wise each time she has been checked vets tell me she is just right. So 30 minutes is the average...

She eats her food in one, shes always hungry though any excuse to eat something. The main walk of the day is around 30 minutes She is around 16kg the amount I go by what the packaging says I thought it was too much before so weighed the amount I give her and its exactly right, I could cut it a...

Routine varies a small bit by if she wakes me up in middle of night I then sleep in more in morning assuming it's not a work day but if not I wake around 9am assuming she doesn't wake me before that take her to garden aiming to be a few minutes but most of the time she just wants to do a pee and...

And another poop accident, only shampoo'd the carpet where she had an accident yesterday only a few hours ago. She was only out about 5-10 minutes before she had her accident, but for some reason shes now stopped having them in hall and doing them in living room again though as I say I...

Interesting thing to note, I bought dog calming chews last year (still in date) and gave her one a few hours ago before I went out for 2 hours and she has been extra calm, didn't even want to jump on me when I came in but also didn't want to eat her dinner and yet normally she has a endless...

Got water filter today, water looks so much clearer didn't realise how cloudy it was in comparison lets hope it helps. She did have a poop accident Tuesday but since then she has been asking out around 3.30am for a poop outside so that is better she isn't having accidents and at least shes...

Interestingly also so far she isn't wanting out during night but bar Friday and Monday she is pooping at bottom of my bed every day at bedtime she seems to outright refuse to poop in garden at all but peeing is fine. At relatives and on holiday she happily pooped no problem only differences was...

The other way to assume anxiety is I know dogs can eat their poop but she waits until I get into bed or goes to another room and then poops then eats the evidence she never eats her or other dog poop outside and if I turn on the light when I know shes having her accident she tries to eat quicker...

Water related is a big part of what I think it is, but maybe also anxiety, keep meaning to buy a water filter and just forget. I haven't been feeling great myself last 3 months, Anyway another thing to bring up is at relatives she was able to run around garden off lead and it had a external...

Bit of an update on her habits, 2 weeks ago I went on holiday for a few days with relatives, the 1st night she wanted out during the night but for the rest of the days she was fine, I left her at relatives for 10 days as I was unable to take her on my own holiday and she didn't want out during...

Sorry didn't see the most recent replies. I have tried various diets and this certain brand of kibble seemed to work best at least until recently. The only consistent thing in each situation seems to be water related though could be something else i.e things like noise sensitivity.
