Gypsum_Fantastic Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Wonder if the guys on the other side will adopt some pigs from us. Ah well nice heart warming story, fido will be chowing down on some organic, free range dog food tonight i'm sure. I do love dogs and this is nice but I'm a bit cynical with this kind of thing.

The Milner Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 There is a bit of a difference to pigs bread for food to pets stolen for food, i know things are not always done the right way, but id be happy to bet there are not that many pigs in this country being kept in those conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum_Fantastic Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I dunno the conditions can be pretty awful and not all the meat that is consumed (by us and our pets) comes from the UK. By the way I now want some Pig Bread, That sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Anyone know how to deal with a jealous dog? We're dogsitting for a friend this wknd and their dog is so calm and chilled out but our dog is in its face, barking all the time and just generally being a dick. It's obviously because shes feeling territorial and protective. Any tips on how to curb this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Have you tried chew treats, bones of something like that, to keep your dog occupied? How long have they been around each other? Have you tried tiring your dog out a bit more than you normally would? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll chew for a bit then as soon as the other one moves she's back to barking. It's relelntless. Im gonna take her for a huge walk tonight and see how it goes. Cheers.

Im gonna take her for a huge walk tonight and see how it goes. Cheers. We had a similar issue, my friend got the sister of Izzy pup, but he already has a 4 year old boy Archie who becomes extremely defensive and jealous when the two pups played, which resulted in a lot of barking and fighting. What we found was taking the three of them out for a big walk, then giving Archie tripe sticks really calmed down the situation. If he had more exercise than normal and something to keep him occupied it seemed to make him much less interested in what the pups were up too. Its a tought one tho, hopefully giving a bit of time your should adjust to the other dog being there. Also make sure things stay as much the same for her as you can, feed her first, even a few moments before the other, make sure if she sleeps in the same place that the other dog is not stealing it, the less your dogs routine is disturbed, hopefully, the better. Oh and pics of the two dogs should be a must in this thread!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also another option i had forgotten about, but it would be expensive.You get stuff called Adaptil for dogs, its stuff to help calm down dogs that are nervous, or dogs that get overly excited. I use the cat equivalent called Feliway in my flat, it has really helped calm her down around the dog. Before i used this stuff they couldnt pass each other in the hallway without hissing and growling, now the cat walks past her without caring for the most part. You can get Adaptil collars, or plug in's that you can use in the room they are most active in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Should add my girlfriend uses Adaptil collars on her two. The big one, Rico, is a complete wimp and is scared of anything he doesnt know, so he really needs this stuff, ive seen the difference with him outside without the collars to when he has one and he is almost a different dog. Without it he will barely move without trying to hide behind you, with it on you can take him for a walk. The smaller one Kobi isnt great being left on his own, he tends to howl, and i dunno if you've ever heard a hound howl properly, its an incredible noise, we can hear it out in the car park after we have left the flat, again the collars really help him settle down. I think my Izzy pup has taken a real shine to Rico, she follows him around in my girlfriends flat and is always trying to play fight with him, there is something hilarious about seeing a 3kg Chihuahua hanging off an ear of a 50kg blood hound.

ca_gere Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions. I've heard of this stuff but kinda don't want to use it because there's something about it that im unsure about. I feel like I'd want to teach her rather than put it off by using a substance. It's been a bit of a nightmare this wknd. The other dog (Fritz) isnt very sociable and just kinda lays down all day whereas my dog is a bundle of energy and noise. She's been trying to get Fritz to play but he'll just growl at her when she comes close. The jealousy thing has been nuts too. We can't go near fritz without her barking at us and trying to get in our faces. He's away back home tonight though, thank god. I'll post pics later.

Nah i completely understand, i feel uneasy trying to control behavior with drugs, it just doesnt quite seem right. My GF made the choice for her two, but i would be like you, id like to train bad things out of them, rather than subdue with a drug. Im dog sitting for 3 Chihuahua's at the weekend, im just going to take them to Nicola's and let them loose on her dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
