  1. mackiemad's suggestions here are spot on Doing 'work' - working his brain ..learning, practicing ,will indeed take the edge off , when combined with decent walks ..and some 'calm down exercises as well The more running and playing a dog gets ..the fitter they get, and the more running and playing is needed to physically tire them ;)
  2. if you go back to the links I sent .. this signifies that in this scenario Ronnie places a greater value on these dogs than he does on you ... 'socialising' is a fine line . pups/dogs need to learn doggy manners , acknowledge other dogs are there , while believing their OWNER is the provider of all things wonderful ..the only source of treats/home comforts and leadership . Owners are to be listened to and looked for and focussed on , no matter what other dogs are doing
  3. did you read from the links I sent ? he is well & truly socialised with dogs . He ,sadly, has bad manners though.
  4. OK .... What type of daily training routine does Ronnie have ? How many short sharp training sessions each day ? Which are his favourite interactive toys/puzzles? How does he get his food each day ? Does he get two walks a day ..one, or just the park run ?
  5. Welcome teenagers!! have a read thru these links ..and around the site generally I'm sure a lot of what you see will help you understand what's happening. and what (not) to do . Sadly ..each time your lad does this, ..like those irritating human kids who poke/pull hair , say rude things , a strong reaction increases the effort put in It is their REWARD..and is doing the victim harm some psychological harm each time . You seem willing to put in the work ..and it will be lovely when he grows up to have a handsome AND self-controlled big lad at your side :D LINK LINK
  6. thanks, Roova ..it's Ms feral . She is one of 3 who live around the house paddocks ...and have some degree of immunity ( so far)
  7. ..and , it's finally Autumn .
  8. new week ! missed last one .... face of a Feral
  9. hello - this an impossible thing to answer with no information The BEST thing would be to take him to the vet and make sure he is not sick . perhaps check his eyes and ears too . If he is all healthy - then maybe we can help with some training help ? How old is the dog ?
  10. ooh... a whole salukigorgeous thread Saluki hooning = oxymoron
  11. How are things now ? been thinking of your boy ....
  12. @ThunderI am envious great photos as well. Thanks for that ! :D
  13. Sometimes with older or stressed cats , & baby puppies we would do the lethal injection into the abdominal cavity ..over some minutes a sleepy body would just curl up in a cosy bed .....
  14. ohh..Pickles may well be picking up illness now - I see it often . yes, we do need some photos of this much loved girl ... being at home with treats, food, close friends, & a sensible someone to keep track - that's a pretty good palliative care formula right there .
  15. Good for that kid ! I hope it is of help in making sure more dogs get to stay with their new owners forever now
  16. this probably much better to be in the health section . hardly anyone comes in here ....
  17. awww..where's the 'love' button again ?
  18. Run, and Run , Nash ..you went when and where you chose . Lovely man . So Sorry . BJ . I am glad he is now where you know he'll be safe ..and that he never was out of your arms .
