    Dog Walking

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    How old is Finn now? Is this new behavior? While it is true that many greyhounds love their walks, even when they get old and infirm,  sometimes, as they get older, they decide that walking is overrated :lol. If he seems fine otherwise and he doesn’t have to be walked for potty breaks, I would let him decide whether to go or not. 
     
    It actually sounds like a combination of things. Like something spooked him, probably something so weird or minor (to you) that he connects with morning walks on certain days, and since walking was becoming less of a priority for him, he decided, nope, not this time. :dunno As I am sure you know, they can have strange, quirky thought processes, that’s one of the reasons I love them :wub:

    Car Barrier

    The hard barrier I had was like LBass’s except it attached to the floor and ceiling with suction cups, if that makes sense. The mesh barrier was like MersyGrey’s but a different brand. I got both from either Amazon or Chewy (it’s been awhile :D).

    Annual checkup advice for almost-13 year old

    I have always stopped vaccines for my seniors, even rabies since by their teens they have immunity if they have been regularly vaccinated throughout their lives. AZ doesn’t accept titers but my vet (who supports stopping the vaccines) writes a letter to have on file with the county. I *think* this means if my dog was exposed he could be quarantined at home, but it never came up. All that said there really isn’t any reason not to do necessary vaccines on a healthy senior. Likewise for dentals, I would address any issues, but probably skip a routine cleaning. When Conner needed a dental at 12.5 I took him to a specialty vet and he had his own anesthesiologist. Expensive, but worth it!

    Blood work and a good physical exam should do it unless there are any specific issues you are concerned about. Congratulation on Logan reaching a milestone :beatheart
