Thank you. Although she’s been in the kennel for an hour and is now unconscious in her cage, that might be the answer!Google protocol for training calm, it's a step by miniscule step for training relaxation. Bit lengthy but it works
Pepper. But soon to be changed to Beetlebug. ?.She is beautiful! What's her name?
I tell the Labradors to eff off but am trying to be nice here ?
I'm so glad you said that. When my mad setter is doing "weirdo ears" and bouncing around - a simple "f off" seems to have the desired affect!I tell the Labradors to eff off but am trying to be nice here ?
You’re the person. Where’s the off switch? ?. She has no idea how to relax when I’m with her. If I say sit she sits, atremble, waiting for the next command. The labs know ‘stand down, soldier’ means stop hunting now, I wonder if she could learn ‘just relax for a minute.’
"Please just f*ck off a minute, Hugo" works here. ? But that's the Sprollie. Oscar Sprocker was pre-fitted with an off switch... inside...he sleeps happily (even, when life has been busy, without sufficient exercise). Outside he's just constantly on Important Spaniel Business although because we frequented pubs and cafes when he was very small he does understand about being on a lead under a table.
Henry Spaniel's off switch only activates after 9pm. ?
Doing some detective work, you previously have liberated a terrier and a collie from the same place as Pepper came from, and have found them good homes. There might be more that I don't know of.
You're a really good sort, Clodagh, but is there anything that can be done long term to prevent this place from keeping dogs that they don't seem to be able to care for properly?

There is a young spaniel that I fostered and rehomed through Spaniel Aid too.
Thistle shows me the odd update, she’s doing really well. That was a happy story.She’s not a million miles from Clodagh now is she? Do you get updates? X

My cousin used to have a dog called Pepper, a fox terrier.Pepper. But soon to be changed to Beetlebug. ?.
She’s from Blue’s former home, you may have guessed
That face! And for a dog who has never been indoors before you had her!This is relaxing…
Next instruction please… ?.
I know she shouldn’t be on the foot stool.
She’s ok if she’ll bring me a pheasant! I’m sure she will.That face! And for a dog who has never been indoors before you had her!
Reckon this one's a keeper .
I’ve got a lot more cold blooded since the numbers went through the roof! ?Give it a rest, you are smitten and in love with her. I understand you won't publicly admit this yet because it might be seen as too soon but we all know. She is fantastic, very beautiful and you are clearly enjoying training her already
Yes I do, she's living the dream, lovely new owners, neutered male Visla friend.She’s not a million miles from Clodagh now is she? Do you get updates? X

If I’m in sight or earshot she is settled, if I’m out of sight she howls. If she can see another human or dog she is better but it’s all about me.
I get that she thinks I’m the bee’s knee’s, but how best to deal with it? I’m usually busy and moving about so if she is caged I pop in and out of view but when we sat to watch a bit of tv tonight things got very loud.
I can’t help. Goose is on my knee. Don’t you fancy a lap dog? ??
