If he is trying to eat the wall that sounds like he is bored to me and needs his last bit of energy used up before bed. Could you take him for a short walk? Or do some scent training before bed?
I hide a few bits or food in safe places around our living room so our dogs can scout around without...
Hello all,
Can anyone give me some tips on how to train a very stubborn puppy to fetch? She loves tug of war but is very reluctant to chase a toy, however I would like to be able to teach her to keep her more entertained on walks...
It sounds silly gypsymum but it is. It's kind of like having a child that you do everything for but that never gives you a hug back..
Nearly all dogs like my partner though (yes he is male) even ones that their owners go on to say 'oh he/she is usually horrible to other people'. I think he just...
4pawsandclaws,
We have had her since 8 weeks, she is 17 now and is happy to play, for me to walk her etc, she just never does her wriggly little run up to me to be petted like she does other people which makes me kind of worry she doesn't like me all that much or think anything of me...
Hello all,
Our puppy seems very happy and eager to be petted by other people and my partner but never by myself. She also always sits at least a few cm away from when called - does anyone know what this means?
She always follows me everywhere but simply just does not come up to me in the same...
Hi all,
Harper is now getting quite big as you can see from the pictures below (16 weeks) and going out for longer on daily walks. She walks brilliantly on the lead until there is another dog coming our way or on the other side of the road. Then she bark and bark and bark - and I will be quite...
What a cutie! He really is lovely :)
Don't worry, I know how you feel. For the first week we had Harper she pee'd where she was supposed to and never made a mess in her crate. A week later I think she realised we wouldn't be taking her back, found her feet, and thought she could start pushing...
Our pup comes out with us on our daily 2 hour walks which our older dog needs, but she doesn't walk all the way. I let her walk to the field and back (probs 30 minutes altogether) and let her play off lead with other dogs but when she is tired I'll either pick her up and carry her, or she will...
Personally I think yes, you did. I still find it hard now to explain to my 4 year old stepson not to stand on the puppy, let the puppy stand on him, not to leave his toys on the floor so the puppy won't eat them, not to play too rough with the puppy, make the puppy wait until your out of the...
Thank you all,
Gypsymum,
She does come running for a treat but I think we are at the point she knows its for weeing. I say 'go toilet' she goes and looks at me the whole time waiting until she is done so she can have her treat, so she definitely knows what it is for!
I'm glad to say for the...
Hi All,
I am currently trying to teach my puppy to walk properly on a lead (no pulling) and so far she is dong very well. My adult dog on the other hand is a nightmare!
Previous to us owing him, he was a working Border Collie and came to us after fracturing his leg and being unable to work...
Hi Both,
Thank you for your advice. Thankfully last night was a dry night, (up once at 2am), and so far all seems good. She definitely knows that 'toilet' means running to back door to go outside for a wee because our old dog does it with her too so she just copies.
Thank you for all your kind...
Thank you for this,
Its good to know that I'm not doing everything completely wrong! In no way is she completely house trained as I stepped in a lovely puddle on the kitchen floor this evening, and I am a little disheartened we see to have taken to giant steps backwards, but she is a very...
I have tried throwing a biscuit in and saying 'in' with our pup, and she generally tends to follow it in. I also do this with toys if she is in the mood to run after them when I throw them. I have also been holding the treat in there and saying in, then waiting for her to get in and sit down...
Hi All,
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue as I am really stumped.
We have had puppy about 2 weeks (she is 10 weeks old) and she was doing really well with house training. If she is out of her crate she goes to the door if she needs to go out, or just goes out herself if the...
