I know others who have used Scandipet in Sweden especially when the people at the other end atrn't experienced

The key is you need to be the dogs distraction,you need to be more interesting than the outside world. If the dog is rolling over then stop using husband dont make it habit. I would be going over the dog in a non show style fashion,when you walk past just casually run hands over,check the mouth just do a potluck thing & make it no fuss . Does the dog roll over straight away or only when going over the body ??

We mated one of ours from day 24

Maybe she feels unsure with you due to being pregnant You keep saying growling when moved asleep.What do you mean ??Are you shifting the pup whilst asleep ?? If so chances are maybe you startled her doing this & she hasn't forgotten.

What is the pup like when being brushed & groomed?? I gather she has had a haircut so what did the groomer say about her behavior??

This is Dallie judging from Westminster you will see the good,bad & often some little things that you can try.It is the worst ring size so making that short time you have is a must Each dog is different but first off you must have an idea of what you are wanting . I have never used show stackers ,i prefer to train & encourage that love for the ring. I do now some that use them with great success but these are also people that do other training as well. I have seen many dogs trained on them that look so lifeless & terrified to move & still A framing because whilst they may stand still they can still learn bad habits on them unless you encourage them to work on them I often prefer to stack my big dogs on a table all are trained on one till 10 months plus we have a big mirror The main thing is videoing yourself & using a mirror/reflective surface .If you can't get to classes askpeople at shows to help some trainers can see one aim & sometimes so variety can work wonders . Your technique maybe confusing but it sounds like the dog isn't sure so you need to teach free stacking & reward as much as possible ,it is very easy & can be done during playtime with a ball,toy anything instead of saying wait say stand,teach dog to walk in walk back or fix foot ,its about learning to use that lead ,its like a steering wheel for the car ,do the wrong thing & the car will do what you ask

Tibetan Terriers are wonderful dogs but the biggest claim to fame is being a climber .They will climb anything if given the chance, They do very well at obedience & thrive in agility. They where my main breed in junior handlers for years . As already mentioned training & the criteria you want comes down to you . I guess the main features you need to decide is if you can't go to the park due to the weather then are you willing to put the mental stimulation time in at home having a courtyard only, Do you want a dog that needs brushing TT need regular brushing or you get them clipped off but then they just look like a nothing dog. Personally forget the black as already mentioned no one will sell you a black pup unless it will suit your child which means you will either be waiting a long time for the right pup or for that colour to appear in the litter . There are many breeds out there that could fit what you want . Although one thing to consider is often black coats & swimming can end up faded or reddish. We breed Mini Schnauzers & those who want blacks & go to the beach we tell them that the coat can fad & to be prepared for that

Yep always condition my long coats but it depends on the coat texture you have .

Yep very personal & what works for each dog . Personally i start with what i want as an adult the only difference is i use a thicker cloth choker for the pups until normally 10 months or how advance they are . But that may change on the dog aswell & then a lead more suited to that dog will be used . So what are you using to train pup on now & wht don't you like about it & what do you hope to use long term

It isn't wrong to play BUT you in 3 weeks will go to work where she is expected to be alone for many hours so she needs to learn now & yes means ignoring her . But this also applies no matter what . What you teach/allow now is what they expect is normal. If you go back to the pen all the time then that is what she will expect is normal. If the pen is to be her home whilst your out then that is what happens in the pen ,you ignore her unless its for a toilet break BUT i gather as she will also have to toilet in her pen when your at work that she also needs to be taught that toileting in the pen is fine as well which can be confusing but something you need to train her to now When she isn't in the pen then you can have fun & do what one does with puppies but you need to teach her what you are expecting from the pen & that is when your at work that she is happily to sit in there ,if you go back all the time she will howl when your at work waiting for you time like normal & it becomes very confusing to the pup. We don't praise or reward for leaving or going we also don't do the routine of a kong or anything else, Our dogs are taught what we expect for the life & that is life doesn't end when we go out. We drill it into our puppy owners that whilst pup is cute,fun & you want to s pend forever with them & often think its a puppy it will learn latter that the puppy pays the price with confusion or owners decide at 12 months they suddenly have a monster or issues that need retraining because as puppies it was acceptable . Our dogs sleep on the bed,havea doggy door & a re very much part of our family BUT they are dogs & as such treat them in manner they deserve not humanizing them , Your pup is still young & yes looking for companionship & love which it will get BUT as you have decided to have the 3 weeks to adjust pup you must be very conscious that at the end the pup won't now where everyone has suddenly gone so yes it is a case of tough love for its sake . Yes you ignore howling,jumping or any behaviour that isn't alerting you to a toilet break,if you rush to the pen each time you are teaching it to get what it wants which is you not what you are trying to achieve. I

Don't praise or play when she is quiet. She wont understand its a reward but what she will understand is after a set time you come back & make a big deal out of it. First rule of puppihood is what is cute now isn't cute at 12 months & as much as people wish to spoil & treat them like a child they are a dog & when treated like a dog are wonderful pets . Dachshunds can be very demanding & very vocal dogs but they are very hardy dogs that enjoy life. So what you need to decide is what the plan is for the next 6 months whilst you work. Will the dog be in the pen during this time or in another room. Whilst 3 weeks of is great you NEED to make sure it isn't 3 weeks of being spoilt & pandered to because it will be harder on the pup in 3 weeks than if you had a few days off as it will think you are home . First thing is people under estimate how easily pups adapt & often wake them or disturb them into being needy. If pup is in the pen & is quiet just leave it during that time it doesn't exist for it to learn to be away form you its needs the people to do there part .The main thing with Dachies is they love being warm,they love to hide under things when asleep so look at the bed ,cat beds are often great for Dachies as there like caves .

The difference in price is how long they last , We do full time grooming & whilst the cheapies may do similar they generally fall apart for basic use handle wise so your cheapie ends up being replaced so not that cheap.

The boarders we get who have been on it where like dead bodies walking. Some also had reactions per the label . Persona;;y i would going to a bowen person or similar to see if the injury has affected a muscle that keeps annoying it

Also consider the Curly coated retriever if you want something different & active Another would be a Flat coated Retriever .

Every breed has its issues so weigh up the risk of another cavie with SM to the breeds you consider. Personally with some issues i owuld take my chances on SM ,after its just like the chance you take your RR won't get HD .

Some dogs just hate coats,if he is sleeping outside then make sure the bed/kennel has good warm bedding in it.

Greyhounds would suit,Chows area alot of brushing unless they get a smooth. Berners are wonderful dogs. With what they have listed maybe the Deerhound. Dachshunds are obviously at the smaller end of the scale so if that size is of interest then there is plenty of other choices.

What breeds do they like??(doesn't mean they would own them but what has taken there fancy

You don't need baby shampoo just use what you have & rinse well . My show dogs have never been washed in baby or dog shampoo in there life . If the dog stinks it needs to be bathed cool or not ,towel rub ,brush.

You also need to remember her world is about to change once again,she has be rehomed,now lives with you & now suddenly her inside life mean outside on a few occasions I would say one very confused dog who when getting put outside is being dragged out like she has done something wrong & i dare say your body language when this happens is one of a frustrated person . Hopefully your vet has recommended a good trainer because many don't they often don'thavea clue. She needs to spend more time at home outside without it being soley related to leaving,does she have a doggy door or access outside when home or is she reliant on you letting her out ?? It is up to you not to make her needy but you need to look at it from the dog side it is piggy in the middle & has no clue what is expected Also remember she had the visitors in this time frame that she also didn't deal with,she has had alot of new things happening so she needs direction
