Johnny will get the urge to dig in our little dog park, a few quick strokes, a big sniff, then he's done. Occasionally he'll continue the work another dog started. He does like to scrape away the mulch from another dogs pee spot, then (mostly) pee on top of it.

I call Johnny "World's saddest dog".

They don't call it "permanent woe face" for nothing! Comparing Johnny's expressions to my Lab's, you'd think he needed a Prozac! He could have the best day ever, and still sit on his bed looking like he lost his best friend.

Oh, absolutely.

Mounting can be a dominance issue, females do it too. "Pee on your pee" is Johnny's favorite game, doesn't matter whose.

Johnny skips breakfast if he hears scary noises outside in the morning. We're working on it!

macoduck's had some experience with this, I believe.

Johnny is "meh" about my couch. He'll get up there on his own terms, sometimes curling up on one end, sometimes getting halfway on my lap and then flopping up there. He prefers his beds or the floor. But! My parents have a super comfy loveseat, he barely gets off it the whole time we are there!

All the collars!

Hey! Mah Secrit Santa!

Awesome news!

Yep!

I've boarded Johnny three times, he did excellent. I made sure to emphasize to the kennel that he needs his own space and solitary play. Fortunately the staff was familiar with greyhounds, too.

My Johnny likes a good nature walk, too. We'll be going to the Smokies for a weekend, so I hope he'll do well on a mountain trail. I have four indoor cats, and my mom has a bunch. He's done really well with them, he was listed as "cats maybe", and it only took a couple of corrections from me and nose swats from the cats to get him in line . He will tell the cats off if they try to invade his personal space, but will let them eat from his bowl. However, he will go for outdoors cats, he still hasn't learned they aren't prey.

My Johnny has lunged-snapped at me in the past--he does not like to be messed with laying down, learned that the hard way! One time I was trying to measure him for a collar, he air snapped and growled, I immediately separated myself from him. He's very sensitive in his neck and throat, so I think that set him off that time. So could it be that your doesn't like to be bothered when laying or sitting, or that he is sensitive somewhere?

If you use Android, I don't think they'll play for you. I have to use my desktop for Track Data replays.

Run free sweet Paddy!

Aww, sweet girl!

Hey there from your cousin Johnny! We look very much alike!

Great progress! Slow and steady, very gently...

I used the Seresto last summer, only found one tick on him at my parents' place in VA.

Hey, what's a little pee between friends? Good to know

Johnny growls at my cats, too, if he's in his bed and they try to get on, or they sniff his feet. Cats get scatted by me. Everyone gets along pretty well elsewhere!
