I had a rescue dog with the same problem. He was so protective of his home he refused to walk once the house was out of sight. He would just lie down and refuse to move but was happy to walk back home. I found that taking him on a short car journey (as Judy suggested) worked really well. Also...

I have a 17 year old dog who has always been extremely fit. Recently I noticed that she was having trouble climbing stairs and getting on or off the sofa. I started her on a Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement which was a capsule that I opened and poured on her food. She isn't a fussy eater...

Hi, I just wondered if there is anyone who makes handcrafted dog gifts that would like to be featured on an upcoming dog blog post that I am working on. I'm looking for inexpensive, unique handcrafted items. I would love to hear from dog artists or any small business which produces dog items to...

I don't blame Barney Rubble, that bed looks so cosy. Mine have their own beds next to mine and that seems to suit everyone. They are allowed in for cuddles of course!

Thank you for taking the time to post this I will start straight away. I've had long haired dachshunds in the past and they were much calmer than my mini smooth, my mum had a mini long haired though and he could be nasty. I think the first weeks of a puppies life are crucial for training, Darcy...

I've got a muzzle, he wears it when he visits the vet for a nail trim (that's a whole other story!) Do you think it dampens down the sensory enjoyment for the dog? I agree it might keep people away. I'm always careful to walk him at quiet times, away from crowds and I always keep him on a lead...

I will ! He has history of biting (through fear) so I really need to be careful. There are also adults who insist on patting him saying 'He won't bite me, I've had dogs for years' or the strangers who think they can 'fix' him! I think the yellow jacket is a great idea.

That's a great idea. I always worry about children running up to him. I pick him up quickly and the mums are offended that I don't want my dog near their children! lol (he's never offlead btw)

Thank you so muchJoanneF, that is really helpful. You're absolutely right, Darcy is extremely anxious and it comes over as aggression. As I said before, he's a rescue, I knew exactly what I was getting, but he was at risk of PTS. He is much better, but it has taken 3 years. He has many issues...

My dog had bald patches and this works a treat when rubbed in. Taken orally it helps to keep the teeth clean and freshens breath.

I have a mini dachshund too, he's a rescue, around 5 years old. He barks at everything, it's a dachsie thing I am afraid. Darcy thinks it's his job to guard us against pigeons, squirrels the postman! we try to convince him that he really doesn't have to worry about us by saying 'everythings...

Maltese ...and maybe some terrier in there? shes a stunner anyway!

Love his colouring, gorgeous boy!

You did everything you could. Some people are naive about rehoming themselves and don't understand the implications.

Bless her, she's found her soulmate and she's not letting you go. Don't fuss her before you leave and when you get back, this way she will learn that you come and go often, it's normal. Three weeks isn't long at all, especially for an ex-puppy farm dog, take baby steps, she has a lot of...

I'm guilty of most of them too. The look in your dogs' eyes will tell you if you are doing it right.

Did the rescue give you any information about her background, it might give you a clue as to why she is like this.

Hope the poor thing doesn't get into the wrong hands. That's the problem with chihuahuas they are too brave for their own good.

Well he's certainly handsome! I would have taken a bet that there was GS in there.

That picture is just adorable.
