Do you have any rescue remedy ? maybe put a drop or two of lavender oil on a bandana/collar for her? Maybe a calcium tablet (just plain calcium)

Tell your friend to walk away now. whoever this pup is being purchased from does not sound at all like any ethical registered breeder I know of (or perhaps no one who knows dogs ) .and your friend is possibly spending good money on lots of heartache. Please tell them to not fund this person's mismanagement .... 6 weeks????...puppies should still be with their littermates/mother. What sort of pup ? perhaps someone on D O L can help source one from somewhere reputable ?

from the original post ...

have you forgotten? This is D O L . the conversation is never over...... :) It is an interesting point ..and I remember cases where neglect /abuse was being carried out .. and how DOLers worked together to help ..legally ... We don't normally just sit on our hands if the need arises , thankfully :)

Bruce is a Border Leicester :) he is huge! We have had him several years .. he was someone's pet ..but totally destroyed the lady of the houses' roses .. and used to charge everyone and was due to become dog food :p So he came here ..where he has Collie Goat for company ..and they head butt each other all day .. and she just LOOOVES polishing her horns in all that wool :) he is due to be shorn in the next few months .. we always leave a couple inches of wool on him when shorn, too..., because of the goat bunting him...hard! Hamlet's a funny boy ... :)

If they are scared enough It could well have been both! She may have peed everywhere, and he followed suit? One panicked dog may have upset the other ..or he may have been marking where she peed?

Hamlet's alert, not alarmed ... well, not much alarmed......

Oh Dear.............

Hi..just quickly .. he is a handsome boy :) my first guess is submission/fear causing him to pee in the laundry - he is still a baby ... how do you put him in there? What mistakes is he being allowed to make to warrant that many time outs? How so ????

*hands out tinfoil hats* :)

..and RUUUUN ! Bruce the sheep , Possum, and most of BoBo doing the mad afternoon rush :)

taken an hour or so ago :)

*nods* if we are in danger especially ...

I was trying to word a post saying the same thing. My guess is, that if pup was hanging around near the fenceline ..and it was 'working' then whatever stimulus it was receiving wasn't too drastic? A level meant for a larger pup/dog would surely send it, surprised & running, far away from the fence? yes, it is only a baby .. but perhaps an occasional 'Bzzt' is much more acceptable than a puppy roaming ..or injured ..or being belted/yelled at ?

..sounds ok.. but I worry about what she then does , with all that compulsion and energy still happening ..but not able to release it in that way .....

hey, YG... hope all went ok last night ...

yes- decidedly unsettling .

yellowgirl.. stop reading now ! turn off the puter ... and ask a friend to stay overnight ..watch silly movies ..and think about it again in daylight. :)

I have an idea ..... it's the

I heard voices ..faintly, and presumed it was TV/radio. I would think, if there was a person ..the dogs would have made more 'scuffling' noises..and the odd whinge or something after 'THE noise' ? It didn't sound human to me.

familiar or not .. the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up

It is a bit like that ... I had some input from a friend..they said it sounded like what their husky used to do ....
