maybe... or maybe that he knows that he can get in ... and is obviously fairly desperate to do so , he may now try & scratch, knock ,bite at the door , or perhaps windows. Hopefully he does not attempt to jump fences. poor boy.. he sounds a bit frantic ... is he chipped in your name in case he does get out? Must admit - I wouldn't be leaving a large unknown young dog unsupervised all day with a small one . Does she have somewhere that she can use to get away from him? If you let us know whereabouts you live, we may recommend you a good trainer who can help you personally with this settling in time :)

If she LOVES her food - perhaps feed her or give her a chewie treat then wet her down gradually ?

It's scary!! How old is your pup? Unless she is really filthy - she doesn't need many baths .. if she is a short coated dog - a good brush every day, and wipe over with a damp microfibre cloth to remove dust/loose hair may be all she needs for a few weeks ... I usually start pups off outside .. standing on a firm non slip surface (ground is best ) .. and obviously on leash . I have everything ready .. usually just a bucket full of warm water to begin.. then I show pup the jug ..fill it with warm water.. and gently tip it over pup's feet/legs , and backside ..while massaging, patting pup , and talking ... then I do shoulders and belly , NOT stopping if pup carries on .... finally , I wet my hand and rub it over the head/ears a couple of times .. then use a towel , and release pup with heaps of praise . I have two 5 mth olds here who will stand under a hose to be washed , or go in a laundry tub .. no soap or anything, they don't need it .. but just because it's so HOT here :)

I'm glad you came back :) Debate? on D O L ? LOL! It's what happens - Hopefully your girl will feel more comfortable as the days pass .. she probably has a heap of bruising etc which will be making her very sore . Sounds like absolute rest is the ideal ... poor girl Glad you know of the other dog owners, and are going to speak with them. I hope you have photos etc , just in case you need proof of stuff at some stage . best of luck with it all...

R I P gorgeous Girl ....

One attempt is not enough, MtS . let them get really hungry .... feed them a couple of small cut off pieces and make like you are feeding them something special ..let them taste that it is food . no way would I let my dogs get away with one taste attempt at new food .. if they don't like something, it gets chopped up and mixed in with something they do like .. and then gradually more is introduced ... if your dogs are hungry , they will enjoy it :)

..this why my dog is usually on a long line ... the faster his legs go, the less his ears work

:) :)

Great to hear :) keep us posted on his progress !

Oh perhaps stress/sleep deprivation speaking?

Not on tables or beds - that's all .

you are going to be amazingly FIT ... ideally a baby puppy needs to be taken outside at least every hour ..more frequently if you don't stay outside long enough ,and he toilets when you get back inside ... I will suggest that immediately the pup comes home you watch him outside ..watch where he toilets , use a word that suits , and praise immediately. next time .. same place, same word , and so on. Eventually the word can be used to trigger the dog to toilet ..and makes everyone's life a lot easier ;)

:) it will!!

..and unfortunately, greys have no hairy ruff/loose skin to act as a protecting layer, either

It's a very effective brain fogger

members, erny and /or cosmolo can probably help you ...

Makes sense...

Legally I can't help - hope your dog is OK. From one point of view ,your dog seems like the one who wasn't adequately controlled though ..

Hope you get some professional help to lessen the stress soon :)

any reason why the dog can not sleep inside ? Sounds as if all is peaceful when she does :) maybe get a babygate or pen, and allow her to sleep near`her pack , where she needs to be ? I also suggest that you contact a professional . ASAP . and if you're in melb. maybe try members erny or cosmolo. They can also help with the introduction of a baby into your 'pack' .

R I P sarah ..
