Yep I've been through that (many years ago), it's so upsetting, what breed is she?I’ve just seen this thread. My puppy is just over 5 months and is going through a wee fear stage. I’ve read this is normal and they can go through a couple of these before they’re a year old.
My issue is she seems to have regressed in terms of going out walks. As soon as she sees someone or another dog, even in the distance, or hears barking she immediately panics and makes a bee line for the house or car and I’ve no idea how to help her. Has anyone experienced this with their dog?
She’s a cocker spaniel. It’s weird because she loves people any other time (postman, delivery drivers etc) and she used loved making pals with other dogs when out a walk lolYep I've been through that (many years ago), it's so upsetting, what breed is she?
I don't know the breed, but maybe she's about to come into season ?She’s a cocker spaniel. It’s weird because she loves people any other time (postman, delivery drivers etc) and she used loved making pals with other dogs when out a walk lol
I don’t know, I think she’s a bit young for that. According to what I’ve read it’s normal and she should come out of it in her own time and I shouldn’t push her, but it’s been going on for a few weeks now.I don't know the breed, but maybe she's about to come into season ?
What a gorgeous pupThought I'd do an update. Puppy is now five months, teeth falling out left right and centre so the nipping is still goingtraining going well to but only has a small concentration span but really wants to learn! We are getting really good at knowing when she's tired/teething for naps. Still won't go in her crate on her own though wants to be with you and doesn't want to miss out if you get up lmao. But we are very slowly getting there
We've definitely gotten used to it now. She'll sometimes follow you to the bathroom and has been known to come in as well while we use the looWhat a gorgeous pupMy little male spaniel is a Velcro dog too, he can be in the deepest sleep ever but if you dare to stand up he’ll be wide awake and ready to follow he’s 9 months and although he’s not quite as clingy as he was as a bubba he’s still definitely clingy but I’ve kind of got used to it!
Thank youuu. Never really had a clingy dog before. Our previous dogs have been boxers. one was very independent and our second (who passed last year) did like to be on you or in the same room as you. He didn't necessarily follow you. But if you where upstairs he'd want to be in the same bit of the house just in a different room lol.Spaniels are the ultimate shadow dog. They wanna be with you all the timeshe is beautiful.
Thanks for the confidenceSuch a gorgeous pup!congrats on getting through 5 months. I’m at 9 months now and I don’t know how I’ve coped haha
Question and dont take it the wrong way, just want to know. Do you not walk your dog? Or just not early in the morning?Does anybody have any tips for barking please?
My dogs barking has increasingly got worse over the last couple of months. He barks as soon as I open the back door to let him out in the garden, he'll run down the path barking and then bark for a few seconds at the back gate. We believe it's because he's previously seen a cat in the garden so he's barking almost as like a warning sign, but it's so annoying and no doubt my neighbours have noticed. It makes me nervous to let him out first thing in the morning or before we go to bed at night! I resorted to taking him out on a lead the other day!
He also barks at us if he wants to play - I do play with him a lot whilst I am at home but sometimes it's just not possible to play all the time! He will bring a toy over and if we don't pick it up, or we say no, he'll just sit and periodically bark at us.
Any tips would be gratefully appreciated. A friend suggested one of those vibrating collars but I don't know that I'm comfortable using something like that and I'd rather train it out of him myself!
My dog is walked at 7am and 7pm every day without failQuestion and dont take it the wrong way, just want to know. Do you not walk your dog? Or just not early in the morning?
No tips for the barking, feel like bad behaviour is best to be ignored with dogs and not give him attention when he Does something bad but to give him a treat when he isnt barking.
Nothing to do against you or anyone but I know a lot of people that ‘walk’ their dog in the yard but not out out you know. I wanted to know why people would chose that. English isnt my first language, sorry if I came of as rude.My dog is walked at 7am and 7pm every day without failthe morning walk is normally 30-45 mins and in the evening a minimum of 45 mins too. What made you ask that?
No, it’s fineNothing to do against you or anyone but I know a lot of people that ‘walk’ their dog in the yard but not out out you know. I wanted to know why people would chose that. English isnt my first language, sorry if I came of as rude.
Oh god, i have a really barky dog in the house opposite me and I remember when I first got my pup she said, don’t worry just leave the door openNo, it’s fineyou probably got confused because I said I took him in the garden on a lead (that was to try stop the barking - it didn’t work ) but he does get lots of walks!
I don’t know why anyone would think walking the dog in the garden is enough?! Poor things!
