Re: Unruly dogs
Thank you all for your posts. I am working through them and making some notes of ideas.
These are two nice little dogs who I love dearly, they are only being fostered by me while my daughter finds a new home but I dont want to talk anymore about that.
They may be with me for a while and with them belonging to my daughter I am being extra cautious with them.
It would be a bit awkward when giving them both back to my daughter and with a small box saying, " And in here is one of Diego ears and Peaches tail. Also I have to admit that I have been a little too soft with them as well at the begining.
The other problem I think is I compare them to Slick my greyhound who walked brilliantly on the lead, loved meeting other dogs and was completely trustworthy with people and children. Maybe I was just lucky with him and need to judge these two differently.
I'm walking them miles, which is really good for me as well, both in the park, and the dog run, when its empty, and also into and around town to get them used to all the things going on. I have even taken them to a local pub that sells speciality beers and that welcomes dogs, Its was terrible job but someone had to do it 😁
I also take them for night walks in the park when its all empty and thats the best as theres no other dogs around.
Thanks again, as I said I am making notes of your suggestions as when they do go back to my daughter I want to give them back much better behaved than they are now.
