*wipes away a tear* Thats beyond beautiful. I wonder if the owner ever came forward or she got to keep him

Banjo does the same thing little freak

Ah but honestly this is why it is so hard Which one is right?

Banjos eyes quite often come up yellow.... not shining like that though!

Banjo does that as well :D its his favourite game!

Hmmmm I would probably say JRT and border collie But again it depends on what kind of person the first time owner is

awwwwwwwwwww he looks like a little demon in some of those photos :-D So cute!

Thanks everyone for all your replies. I really dont want to use a shock collar and that has to be the very, very last resort. I will work on it heaps on weekends and hopefully banjo and luda will settle in together. If it persists I will get a behavourist in. In the meantime if I have to then Banjo will stay in and Luda out I guess. I know it will work out. Especially with more obedience lessons. When it warms up I will take them for their walk in the mornings before work rather then the evenings and see if that helps as well. Luckily the neighbours are pretty good with it and I will let them know we are working on it.

Yes I particully thought about returning my puppy this morning after getting her out of her crate last night 3 times for a wee (last one was just playing! she tricked me!) I then decided I had to get up in 20 minutes anyway so she may as well just lie down with me in bed and she poked her cold pointy nose so hard in my eye it hurt! When I went owwwww she went into nutso zoomie mode! Poor Banjie was growling. OH was yelling at me to get her out. lol but I wouldnt. She is a sweedie.

They get a 30-45 minute walk every day. We go to training on sundays. Every day there is games with fetch/ tug. Unfortunately we dont have sliding glass doors. Would it be boredom if the minute we drive away it begins?

No I cant install a dog door as it is a rental. SAS I do only leave a few out at a time. I also bougth heaps of the treat balls which he isnt interested in. I tried hiding his food around the yard and in the long grass. He doesnt care about that. He has this new dog to play with. We recorded him while he was inside and while he did a few barks it was nothing like outside. And when he did barks it looked like it was as he had heard something. Thats what makes me think its fear. Outside there are lots of noises so he just barks at them all. Yeah bahavorist is probably the way to go. He never barked and got let inside. He had to stick it out all day as we were at work. He simply didnt go out in the morning...

When banjo is outside while we are at work he just does not stop barking. It is a horrible shrill bark that seems to be at nothing. Becuase of it he was left inside throughout the day. Now that we have Luda they can not both be left inside for 10 hours so he has to stop the barking and get used to the yard. I have to work so can not stay at home and squirt him over the fence every time he barks. Please tell me the most effective way to stop this barking. He isn't bored. He has tons of toys. I have blocked off any vision of the road. If it is seperation anxiety how do I fix it? His kennel is by the back door. I have had it! what is the most effective collar to use please? Thank you

100% agree. When I first heard about it I thought no way. But then I realised it really is the best way. She is so used to it already (only been a few days) that she takes herself in there so sleep most of the time.

My girl (who is four months old so quite a bit older) sleeps in a crate beside my bed. When she wakes up at night and cries I just stay in bed but put my hand on the side and she sniffs it and falls back asleep. As soon as she is toilet trained she will probably sleep on my bed with my other dog if we can all fit

*sigh* yep more rspca bashing. Got to love that about this forum. As if it would be left to the police! As if they have any time for that with their already stretched resources.

Is she a whippet by any chance? I have only had my whippet girl for 3 days and am already noticing some very peculiar behaviour that I have never seen in any other type of dog But no mine have never done that! Lol

Its definetly not appropriate to have an aggressive dog off lead at off leash parks. This is exactly the reason why I havent and wont take mine to them. Way to dangerous

I know there is one of those dog washes at the service station in Broadview on Hampstead road, just off regency road. Not sure where you are in adelaide?

This is Banjo and my new girl. 3 days in and they are already cuddling

I know the vet I went to asked over the phone what might be wrong and when I said I think kennel cough she said to go out the back and wait there and we were let in the back door away from the other dogs. Doesnt seem so hard to do that.

I just bought something from the local pet store called 'no chew' or something of the sort. Worked a treat. Just go to your local petstock and have a look. Banjo chewed though a speaker cord within days of getting him. Sprayed everything and nothing has been chewed since

I just got a friend for my little terror. I wasn't even sure they would get on. You can see the happiness in his little face! I have never seem him so happy. She is the puppy but he follows her everywhere. I think this is the best thing we could have done for him We also work full time and felt so bad for banjie. when planning for him we thought it would all be fine but it really wasn't

I'm not sure but surely dogs arent allowed stashed under seats here in OZ?

Yes Banjo whines like crazy And sometimes it gets really loud! And he always does these huge sighs after a whining session haha

Can anyone recommend a good vet around the inner northern suburbs of adelaide? (around walkerville). We have gone to one a few times but they charge through the roof and we havent been too impressed. While this was ok with 1 dog we now have a 2nd on the way and would really like to find a good vet with reasonable charges and a great reputation that we feel comfortable with and can start building a good relationship. Dont mind driving 20-30 minutes.... Thanks!
