Thank you Judy, I take my eldest dog for an hour each morning and that is usually a lot of ball throwing and sniffing about.

I have a 5 month old Collie and a mature Collie. I want to take them out together but the older dog needs more exercise. I have read that 25mins is about right for a pup of this age. Does any one have advice on this? I'd like to take her out for longer but obviously don't want to cause any...

Hi All, I think it has something to do with anxiety separation and also strangers in the house. I have been making mental notes when he growls or nips. It occurs mostly when we just get back home from work or school or when strangers come to visit. For example he has been his normal self with us...

I will try and video him and post it, I don’t feel it’s a seizure though. He does not really make any unusual repetitive movements. He shows traits of being anxious, low posture, ears back, yawning and licking his lips etc, I need to get to the bottom of this I think.

We have had some pain killers from the vet and gave him some this morning, hopefully we will see some benefit from that. Watching him and thinking about it, I think something is making him nervous or anxious, or at least his body language indicates this. I’m trying to figure out what might have...

Well he has me confused. Took him for a walk this morning and he was fine, when I got home and held out my hand he growled at me, he also growled at my wife and daughter. I have just been sat with him and he would not stop trying to lick my hands and face and climbing on me, if I stopped...

Thanks, it sounds logical. I will give it a go.

The vet could find nothing wrong with him physically, but said that he seemed anxious judging by his body language. She said there is no sign of aggression but something was bothering him. She has given him a pheromone collar to try and relax him. I have sat with him for a while and stroked him...

Thanks both, this morning he was really excited to see me as usual, I didn’t try and stroke him since we have not determined what is wrong. We went out for a walk, all normal, when we got back and I took his lead off he nipped at me again. Hopefully the visit to the vet this afternoon will help...

Thanks for the response. We have booked him to see the vet tomorrow. However, if he was in pain I would have thought it would affect him playing. I just took him a walk and he played fetch as normal

Hi All Looking for some advice. We have a 2 year old welsh sheep dog. Up until today he has enjoyed a fuss but has snapped at anyone who tries to stroke him since we got home today. The odd thing is he wants to play as usual and does not seem ill or anything, but if we sit down he will come...
