Teebs

haha, atleast someone has faith in me! Nothing different in the yard. The poop scoop was a bit out of date, but was done theother day, the lawns need mowing, but nothing unusual about that (the man comes every 2 weeks to do it, but after the rain it grows so fast)

Everytime someone posts, i think of another thing that MIGHT be causing it, she hasnt been for a real walk in a while, a friend has been taking her time to time, but nothing like i normaly do with her. BUT we have been playing fetch (man, thats the BEST game ever! I sit still and she does the work!) till the point she wont play anymore, and she tires her self out in the pool. But i would think that boredom would cause more of a destrutcive behaviour then she is doing?

She is on Supercoat, i am in the process of looking into a new brand of food. but at the moment it is SC IT isjust a normal, solid poop, Nothing different about it (like its not runny, or a funny colour nothing unusual at all) she has not done this before (well, she had a few accidents when i was toilet training her, but nothing in months) and i am at a loss to why she needs to go? she is on the same diet as atlas, and he will put himself to bed at about 7 and not move till whatever time i get up. Could he be bullying her? Maybe she feels scared to go in the yard? but once again, its only been the last few weeks and i have not seen anything go on between them. ARGHHH ETA: I am going to give my vet a ring now. see if he can think of anything that might be causing it ETA (again) : he is operating but will call me back when he gets a min free

I just thought of another thing - In the last 2 weeks Atlas has managed to get something stuck in his mouth, both times it was kaos that got my attention to it. could she be paniced because of that? Could that make her act differently at all? Sorry, clutching at straws here, i just want to know what is goin on in her head

I feel like such a horrible owner, i hate people comming here and asking what is wrong, told to goto the vets and they dont want to or cant afford it. I cant drive and have no one else to take her for me. So there isnt much i can do till next week *sigh* She is happy and healthy and spends most of her time in her pool during the day. She has no signs at all of anything wrong. other then her behaviour.

Sorry Myszka For me with one leg. it is too much trouble. She will not sit stay, never been good at stays. I have a tie out point in my yard for the TOT but i can not access that part, i also have to lock one dog out of the yard while i do tot with the other dog. I just cant get around that much while getting dog food ready and what ever. As i said, starting wednesday morning, she will be back on it. Kaos is 18 months, she is getting fed in the MORNING, so i cant understand why she is doing it either? Shoe - i idont know about medical, i will get her to the vets next week if nothing has changed. It is very unlike her.

also - i was doing NILIF but have been a bit slack latley, i will be going back to it. TOT is out at the moment, it is just too much work with my leg, but i am geting out of the cast on tuesday and will be going back it is ASAP

Ok, its going to be a long post. i posted a bit in general, but thought i might come here for ideas. I have been home for 6 weeks with my leg in a cast. The last few weeks kaos has been going to the toilet at night time, only poops. If she needs to pee, she WILL come and wake me up to go out. If she is crated there is no problems, she will cry to go out and will not toilet in there. I have had her out 2 nights in the last 2 weeks, first she went though with no pooping. The second she went. So she is crated again until i can get a solid night from her. Last night she was crated, BROKE the door and got out, i was woken to her in my room crying, when i turned the light on she was on her back, the same position she goes in when she is in trouble. I went to let her out, and she had pooped AND weed everywhere, she knew she did wrong but still did it? She is now going mad at the door, because i have her outside and she wants in, she is NEVER like that. I am guessing it has something to do with me being home? But i really dont know Starting tomorrow we are going back to the way things were done before i did my leg. I am going to get up at 5 and give them both a cuddle, get me ready, then go and take them out to their run and feed them and lock them in, i will not be getting them out until 3:30, the time i usually get home from work. Im not sure if this will help? but she hasnt been herself, and i thought that going back to the old way might help? Even though they will know i am at home. It will also help when i do go back to work in a few weeks time. I just dont know what else to do with her? Ideas are really welcome!

Sure does.. now.. what do i feed him for the rest of his body? ?

My poor girl - i just suck them outside and he is chasing her around! RUNNNN

Kaos just sat there watching him crying - poor girl.. how do i explain it to her?

ok, i got some samples on Nurtience yesterday and started Atlas on it, he LOVED it (the derma one) Now, i have a problem, what is in it!?!? he is off the rails! Just humped kaos' bed to death! Its full of red cordial isnt it??

Nah, its ok, can you pm me your details? im going to give it to both my dogs breeders, they can just stick that onthe back of the papers and tell people to ring you if they need anything

Aint that the truth!!

Best of luck with your puppy! Just one little thing, if you go running to the puppy everytime he crys, he will do it all the time when he wants you to get him!! Dogs are better at training us then we are of training them!! Please dont get scared of us. We want updates on how the pup is going!!! ETA: Crate training is not only good so a puppy can have somewhere to sleep at home, but also incase they have to goto the vets. If they are used to being in a cage, then they will not panic as much! Also, it is great for car travel. If you have the room, but a crate in the back of your car, puppy is safe, wont be jumping around and hurt itself!

Yeah, But damage is done - I tried to talk to dad about food last night, and he said if he had the choice to chose between the vet and myself, then he is going to pick the vet. My brother will be changing vets, its just that he cant drive yet and its up to dad to take him there. So once he is on his feet she will be going to a different vet

Im serious, i would love her to write Ats breeder a letter, will make sure i am there when he opens in.. and replies

is there anything you dont know LM? you want my dogs breeders name? You can write them a letter as well if you like

She isnt going to turn me off - it prob has more to do with the fact that if i use it, i wont be getting it from her, so she will lose out!

Im so sorry

:rolleyes: I just got taken back to when i got kaos - she HATED tiles. Would follow me all around the house, then when i would walkinto a room with tiles, she would follow, realise she was on tiles and go all wobbley and fall over Im a mean mother. I just ignored it, i tried treats, nothing worked, so i ggave up, if she wanted to be with me, she learnt to walk on tiles! She does it now, at home, but if i go to someone elses house she wont move, goes on tiles and freezes!

Hmm... I hate everyone - i just got off the phone to the lady at the local pet feed shop, said that you could not pay her to touch Nurto Still going to give it a go i think. See what happens

Hmm... seems you have already had replies on this before?? http://forums.dogzonline.com.au/index.php?showtopic=74042

Ok, first of all - please take caps lock off!! It is very hard to read and people tend to not bother reading things that are hard to read! Ignoring is the best way, if he crys, ignore him, dont let him come inside until he is quite!! When he does become quite, PRAISE HIM! Maybe feed him outside so he gets used to it? I am sure there will be a lot of people who can help

Ok, we are back and im not happy, She just got a bit of a infection, and a bit of a temp. She is on some meds and only to have a few SMALL meals today and tomorrow. Vet told dad that he should get her off whatever he is feeding her, and ONLY feed her pal dry food or chum I told dad (in front of vet) that both those foods are shit, and that the dog needs some form of meat and bones. Vet said that it is all a myth that dogs dont do any better on one food to the other, that chum is as good as any other food. This is also the same vet that recommends spoodles :rolleyes: I have thought about leaving and finding a new vet, but i cant afford to! They let me have an account there and no other vets will :D I just really cant believe it. When i told him i was feeding sc and am thinking of changing he said not to bother, i guess he doesnt want me to, because then Atlas will keep getting his skin problems and he will keep getting the money ARGH
