  1. Hi .... not sure where you live , but my strong suggestion is to ask on here for reputable and honest professional behaviourist/trainer to help you in this. NOT an 'obedience trainer', or one who guarantees to solve all your problems in one visit ..but someone who can assess the dog thoroughly , and work with YOU to manage problems . This dog needs help - from what you've posted , ... the peeing on the couch could be several things - even to reassuring herself that her human was still 'hers' - peeing on that human's scent , and claiming it , as she didn't have access to her person. She only sees her person for a few hours a day ..and has two homes ... You are recognising things - and that's great :) A good professional can now add different tools to your box of tricks . Sep.Anxiety is tricky .... Someone here will have recommendations, I'm sure. ..just noticed that for some reason you posted in Breeder's Community . This would be better put into General, where more people can reply . It isn't really a breeding type question :) pm TROY if you want it shifted .
  2. could it be a poor old body suddenly very tired, DD ? It is comforting that she is getting good care , and that you have great communication with teh vets.
  3. DD - what we use here for our mobiles is a bluetooth car hands free thingy :) Do a search - or ask in dick smith or somewhere , and find one which is easy for you . turn phone on - connect it to teh device ..and off ya go! phone is safe and in one place ..and , providing the device is strong enough - you will have signal a room or so away , and do no not have to race to the phone .
  4. This morning I finally realised how much of a (bad) influence he was we went for a little walk ..4 dogs & me . I was busy taking photos . hadn't checked the paddock properly ......then went to walk home - saw dogs a way off in the shrubbery, and whistled them to return - only to realise with a sinking feeling that Don & Widget were following 3 roos . I realised then ..that it was only following ... Don has never chased/hunted ..and was just curious .Widget HAS been a hunter - always with Hamlet ..and has been a willing partner in the baying and frothing fury that used to be - This morning - one whistle ..and they both just turned & ran back to me - I couldn't believe it!! Whew. Don is so laid-back ... last night I let him inside , as I was feeling very sad & sore , & thought we could both sit under the heated throw on my chair . No .. he came in , checked the cat bowl..then hopped straight onto his blanket on the couch ......put his paw over to me to hold, and went to sleep.How boring :p
  5. I haven't watched it ... but I would love to see those persons concerned subjected to a similar few minutes - perhaps place them in a city square at lunchtime ?
  6. Ok.. hope you can understand/read this. This what I see on my computer . Click on "start/computer/device/import"
  7. You must be so worried BREATHE , first . You may well be wasting a good worry ! Without a vet diagnosis , you have no idea of what is happening . You have a baby pup still ..of two or more solid breeds . He could be just a shape and an age where he looks wobbly and awkward - some pups do.I have seen some who look as tho they have someone else's legs on! IF your pup is in pain , limping , & having trouble sitting/lying, then he should be seen by a vet . if you can ..how about videoing him from behind as someone takes him for a walk ..and as he lies down/gets up? Post it on here , if you are apprehensive of a vet visit just now - it might make you feel better to share .... we cannot diagnose, of course ! Lots of pups lie like frogs , and sit with feet out ...I think I know what you mean here. We welcome puppy photos, whatever !! :)
  8. please do not ever use a rubber band on a dog's leg . It can damage circulation very easily .. :( Bandaging , unless you know what you are doing can be uncomfortable /hold the leg a bit stiffly , making it sore...and also RUB STITCH ends , which feels awful , and can lead to more irritation. I cannot safely suggest anything for tonight , sorry ..I hope you can buy a suitably large muzzle tomorrow (make sure he can open his mouth wide enough to pant and drink )
  9. Do you have any image viewing /editing software ON the computer?
  10. Hmmmm..not the best update , here's hoping next news is more positive . Wasn't it her that was not eating well recently ..and you tried her on different food?
  11. ..oh ..we need more photos too :) I like the look of them .
  12. Blackun - Patterdale is a breed of terrier which look a lot like yours - it's not a place , or kennel ;)
  13. ..so they aren't a recognised breed ? Just someone is breeding black terriers? they look lovely, whatever :)
  14. this is a young adult - new family member they have coats/beds etc , but were curious about jammies :)
  15. AFAIK , in a puppy .. very low.Risk increases with age , unfortunately . Many older dogs suffer from this with no exercise
  16. someone I know asked about where to get their grey some jammies ... I have no idea ... :) Any ideas?
