I think this is a really common behaviour in adolescent dogs, and Stilton did this for a good year I think; we managed it by reassuring him, making sure he had space (ideally avoiding the other dog coming too close; various techniques but asking for room was our main approach), and interrupting...

No better induction!! I’m pretty sure I was raised on it as a puppy 😆

Hi Karen - you’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong. We persevered with a crate for far too long with Kipper, and so with Stilton we had a pen and crate set-up which was a lot better. You’re sensitive to Cassie’s needs, and clearly you’re tuned into her which - in my humble opinion...

A huge welcome to you Karen and your beautiful little Cassie pup! It’s great to have you here - from me and my two fox red boys Kipper (8) and Stilton (2).

I can imagine! Amy’s kicking up her heels down here, but it looks much worse in the Northern Lands.

This is awesome Sue, a great read and thank you for the reminder/prompt! I’d temporarily forgotten clicker training and need to get back to some small fun things with the boys, our challenge is that clicker training is So Rewarding but that’s going to be scarcity value as much as anything...

Beautiful, beautiful Lilly, I’m so sorry Jac, Sophie and family; she was such a special girl and the most excellent friend to humans and animals alike. You gave her an wonderful life - sending you all heaps of love xxxxx

It’s really understandable to be struggling with this, I’m sorry you’re going through it. Have you got anything that helps managing it right now?

Sending you huge good wishes and support for darling Red, do keep us posted xxxx

I remember this - so scary, and Maxx was a complete hero xxx

Aw Lilly xxxxx

Our boys do this too, it's really handy for opening cupboards, the fridge, backing up for a middle etc.. I love how many of us have a beep beep cue!

We spent ages on building value slowly, I’m surprised it’s stuck actually without needing much top up - but they always get something high value through the head hole to encourage easy dressing!

Now the weather is turning autumnal, we’ve dug out the towelling robes - Kipper always cuts a dash in his after we were caught in a deluge this morning!

Oh sweet Ella, she does look discombobulated in that photo 🥺. You’ve done so well for her over the tricky bit, hopefully she’s feeling brighter soon and fingers crossed for results x
