Yep, wave goodbye and talk to them all the time ............. it's the only way to get the answer you want!! :b

I have to say, I also talk to Dessie. (w00t) :blink:

However, for those who have chewers/separation anxiety sufferers, you shouldn't really kiss and sympathise with your dogs before you go out. It is much better to tell them to go to bed and you won't be long in a positive, cheery voice and then shut the door on them.

Nipped out in the car a bit earlier, leaving Alf and Annie in the living room. As I pulled away I glanced over to the window where their two little faces were looking back. Without thinking I gave them a little wave goodbye. Just glad I was on my own at the time, I felt such a nit after I'd realised what I'd just done.  :b

this is great news, that i am in the majority and not the minority!.

i always tell mine where im going. when im shopping i will tell him im shopping for biscuits and he knows immediately that i will be back with yum yums!

also i tell him that i will be home at dinner time and that mummy loves him lots.

he knows what im saying alright!, he snuggles next to my face and grunts! im sure hes telling me back (well thats what i like to think anyway) :- "

i know its not just me, but when i say things he looks at me as if to answer and i know exactly what hes said. if you know what i mean.

i always tell him night night when he goes to bed, and remind him that we will see each other in the morning :huggles:

agreed, I don't talk to the dogs much when leaving them, try to be very matter of fact

it can be a different story when we are all at home. My dog was lying down and he looked up at me with one ear upright and the other cocked in the correct position (for a greyhound or whippet). I said outloud, "Sam, you look funny like that with one ear up and one ear down". He immediately shook his head in reaction and his ears fell into place!

Many years ago I used to ride a lot of young horses, so always talked to them when out on the roads. One day I was pushing my bike up the hill on my way home, and realised I was telling it not to be frightened when a bus went past. :b
