I think your expecting to much in such a short time frame & as such your frustration is confusing the pup,they read body language very well & if they don't trust the owner why go to them. No point chasing either it just becomes a game or worse a fear . I suggest just taking a step back not being so structured & allow pup to do things on his on . At present its what you want not allowing pup to believe its something to enjoy. All our dogs are crate trained but we don't do any of this bribery & the likes in 25 yrs dogs are placed in & all works fine,the more you bribe the more they expect .Ours fight to get in first because sitting in it means so much to them

Mason the breeder is still showing there dogs so there adults come in contact with other dogs. We also show when we have pups or a youngsters & the dogs just come home & play . We use common sense but you can't stop doing everything

Are there people out there who you could pay to be a runner instead of bike riding ?? I havea dog who i would like to ET title but the bike aspect isn't his thing BUT he is a great steady runner & i believe would prefer this method . Looking at Perth but if im east that could be an option -
We have small dogs but generally 4 weeks BUT in winter & if the day is good we will do 3 weeks on,even if its just 10 mins & laying still ,they can hear.smell & sense

applies to pet owners to we get clients who feel its fine for there dogs to pee up our BBQ,outdoor setting etc etc ( they have to walk the dog over to these items for it to happen ) They poo n our front lawn & don't pick it up or even mention there dog has had an accidient .

Does he lick his penis?? Has it dripped any blood?? My old boy went through a stage for many years where his penis would become swollen & sore due to aggravating the blood vessels. He would lick it to soothe it ,of course when he peed it annoyed it & the circle went around & around. He was on cranberry tablets for 6 years. Medication when it flared up (normally Vibra vet but this can affect sperm if being used at stud) generally it required 3/4 weeks of meds. Worse when girls where due in season ,he hasn't had a bout for 4 years now I had a friend whose dogs also got a swollen penis due to a reaction to the shampoo/conditioner . When you pull the sheath back is it very RED & sore looking ??

Did you buy her ?? Did you have trail period or any conditions if it didn't turn out?? When you took her on what exactly was the deal with visiting,you say to ensure she was in a good environment so what happens if they changer there mind about that?? How long do they expect to visit for?? When they visit how long do they spend ???1.2.3 hrs??Do they take her away or just stay at your place?? Personally i agree with others you can't have your cake & eat it. Yes they have had difficulties & obviously no one was prepared to make the effort to keep the dog ,you are not a carer or boarding facility but the new owner . As for unsettling i totally get that,we run boarding kennels & get owners who want to visit or send family members & we won't allow it because the dogs do get very distressed after wards & very confused . It is time to lay the rules down & you need to look at the long term future . How long do they want to do this for . You adapted there dog not the family unit

Did the breeder feed that ,have you asked them for diet advice

The coat king doesn't thin the coat it removes the dead coat .the same coat you remove when using a comb.brush etc etc this tool just makes it easier The coats change through the seasons,winter then tend to bulk up & then do a coat blow around august/september with the warmer weather BUT the coat is designed for a purpose so "thinning" it will have no affect on how she deals with summer. As long as she is brushed thoroughly regulary & all mats remove & dead coat then she will be fine. Mats have more effect on the dogs than anything else as they hurt & pull

what are you hoping from the 2 dogs?? Are you wanting a playmate for the Golden?? Or just a small companion dog ?? Dachshunds aren't hard to train & can be fine with kids BUT there length off back is something you need to consider when playing with another dog especially if big & rough. My Std smooth played fine with our Greyhounds BUT they all new the rules of play & could be left alone & trusted Any small dog you consider as an older dog you must keep in mind many may not have been around large dogs & this can be very overwhelming & not work out especially when you add a young child . of the Dachies i would suggest a Std Long as they have a gundog personality

Does that quote just mean freight or like the companies we use does the quote cover every aspect of the dog leaving . Permits Vet tests pre vet check Crate etc etc As already said if the paperwork isn't correct you will be stuffed bigtime ,exporting is very reliant on all factors being completed within the time frame of tests.

Dogtainers normally use Virgin who may do a better deal,Jet pets is normally AAE . Alarm bells no ,each company have varying price differences even when it comes to crate hire. Is the breeder dropping the dog off or will the transport people be picking it up?
