Okay, normally I work from home but this week I am going out to work for about 3 hours a day. I took them out for a walk before I left etc but when I got home yesterday I found two puddles, one in the bedroom and one on the mail. I figured beucase they are on steroids (had kennel cough) they were drinking more therefore need the loo more and it was an accident. No problem there. :b

Today I got home and found my bed had been weed in (totally gross!). I strongly suspect my gh x whippet puppy (one year old, who is very much a mummies boy and commonly known as Devil Dog!! :huggles: ).

My dogs are used to me going out for short periods of time, if I go to town for example, and have never done this before. Any clues??

im no expert but our vet swears by the dap plug ins, (dog appeasing hormone) apparently its really calming and fills the house with "happy dog lactating bitch mummy safe hormones", its not scented to us as mere humans but apparently does the trick for a lot of stressy anxious doggy behaviours. Is comes in a spray too, for travel sick dogs, and is wonderful for new puppies to settle in. Might be worth a chat with your vet? Costs around £16 quid for a plug in if i remember.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

It's weird though cos he's never done it before (I've had him 6 months now), my other dog is absolutely fine.
