The Boys are sooooooo sweet

Behavioral Issues
  • BuanaB

    Since I'm pregnant (almost 13 weeks) the dogs react very sweet…

    In the beginning, Buana was the only one who became more cuddling and depending but since a few weeks all three are so sweet to me..

    The B's always want to be next to me and lie their head on my belly (excactly were the baby lies)
    They seem to feel or hear the baby's heartbeath or movement and want to be close.
    They're less naughy to me :cool: and much more attached to me. (They already were very attached but now.. woooowwww)

    They make me so happy when I get a moodswing :rolleyes:
    The look at me so cute, if they want to say "o mommy.... you're sweet, when comes our little brother/sister" hihihi

    I love them.... the're the best kids ever.. :D
    I think they like us to know they maybe accept the baby?

    Congratulations! I had my B's near a pregnant friend once and Tayda was all over her! She is normally aloof with strangers but she was all over my pregnant friend…

    My dogs were very "clingy" when I was pregnant & the same with Tayda when she stayed with us one weekend. :)

    To those of you that are having problems with mouthing, holding the muzzle is not a good solution. Substitute a toy for your "body parts" or totally ignore the pup and the minute that the pup settles down, praise.

    I hope so too! Ive also started some training sessions together. Like having them both Sit (they will sit next to each other with no issues). I use a Clicker. Ill have them SIT and they both sit…ill click and they both get treats (a SMALL piece of hot dog). Kind of to teach them that being near each other can be rewarding. So far its worked. They can be inside the house toether with no conflict either. One will be on the couch near me the other in the recliner. The only tension is if one comes over to sniff the other. But neither snap anymore cuz when one growls the other heeds the warning and backs away. I love having another B around...they are like Potato chips...you cant have just one lol

    This is the doghouse we used for years for our outdoor Border Collie. I realize Alberta can be colder (although we have seen -30C at this location), but you are talking about daytime use, not overnight. We used straw for bedding, and when my dog emerged in the morning after a cold night, he was quite warm and the interior of the house was also (I checked). Sized and insulated correctly, this design will keep a dog warm. (you could obviously change the dimensions to allow for more insulation if necessary). The only caveat is, will he use it? My BC was happy to retire to his house for the night, but during the day tended to lie in the "porch" so he could see what was going on. Of course, much of the day he spent his time with me, so it was a non issue. (one addition…...we put a couple of cement blocks on the roof after it blew off one day in a windstorm!) http://www.kwhumane.com/uploads/Documents/Ideal_Doghouse.pdf

    Tucker just hops on the bed and lies down beside us. We've gotten used to it and just ignore him… ;)

    The fast solution is simple and not pleasing… but papermatching WORKS. http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/tplo-normal.html Take a paper match and wet the head of the match in your mouth for a few seconds. Then take the match and insert the head end first into the dog's rectum. Make sure part of the match is hanging out. Within a few seconds the dog should start to get into the position to poop and be successful at doing so. (I had to do this for Darby for about 2-3 weeks)<< So you papermatch and praise like crazy. As for tying him out, most can chew through MOST lines so I would be careful. Better to papermatch til he will go on command in your own yard. Also, how secure is your yard? Can you put him out while you are getting son ready for school alone? However, getting up a bit early to MAKE him potty, THEN secure him (get clips on cage so he cannot escape!) in crate while you take child to school, is better. Btw, 2 wks is a short time, it will all come together! :) Debra
