    Does She Just Not Like Walks?

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    Mable is only being taken out for slow walks to potty. Four per day (around the block first thing in the morning, a quick one before I leave for work, around the block at lunch, around 2 blocks in the evening, and a pee before bed.) As long as she does that, I'm perfectly thrilled to just let her lounge on the couch, she loves doing. When it's hot here (I live in Boston, so right now it's not), my hounds just hang out in the back yard long enough to p&p.

     

    I don't force her. But maybe around the block is too far?

    When Rusty got up there in age, we lost him at 13 1/2, he still loved his walks, but he could only make it to the corner and back. We were four houses from the corner. So he still got his walk, and it was just enough to make him happy.

    Bob And Shammy Just Sayin' Howdy!

    We are so glad that they have come to live with us. Bob is teaching Shammy the ropes on retiring, you know, how to throw the stuffed animal in the air and snap at it, that the ceiling fan isn't an evil machine of doom and that squirrels are the arch nemesis; important things like that. Hopefully Shammy will realize that she doesn't have to wake up at 5:30 anymore. (a real morning doggie) We are told by Callie's human that Callie was the same way.

    See, Shammy needed Bob. I'm so glad you all found each other. Funny how things work out the way they do ;)

    Zeke Still Not Doing Well :(

    My thoughts just based on what I went through with Rusty. He did not do well on any kind of Canidae, so I had to switch foods. Then I tried another kind and he starting puking. Turns out that that food was too rich for him. So we made another change. In the end I believe I was feeding him Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul and he did really well on that. No more soft poops and no more puking. Maybe Zeke just needs to try a whole different kind of food.
