Sounds like things are moving in a very positive direction for both Luca and Neko. What good news!

I'm so sorry Greg.

My Jack, Jilly and Joshy would 100% be fine with your Casey. Jessie probably would be but she is clumsier so I would worry about that. There is a hound for you!!!!! Get the crate woman! Ps we missed you!

So beautiful Marc. So many miss her and will never forget her.

You need to do intensive alone training with your boy. I would suggest you get hold of Patricia McConnell's book "I'll Be Home Soon" This is not a bark collar fix. It is likely not a crate fix either. Dogs at the track do not sit in a crate all by themselves with no other dogs/people around them. It will be a lot of work over a period of time. Talk with your neighbours and let them no you have a plan and are working on it. Take cookies! |Ask for feed back. And please visit here often for support. A lot of people have gone through it and suceeded!

You sure are missed little fella. And oh my you were surely loved. The old fellas certainly wiggle right into your heart don't they Cindy? I know you fought for him and how much you miss miss him.

I'm sorry Buzzy. I missed this. Your little girl certainly ended up in a wonderful place with you. There are a lot of hog friends for her to hand out with while she waits.

I walk three at once. It does take a bit of practice for both you and them to get into a groove. I use six foot leashes but they don't always get all six feet. And I have to admit the first bit of the walk is a bit of a gong show cause they are so excited like they have never been outside or walked ever before in their lives . But then I do insist we all get it together so I have the leashes looped over my right wrist and held in my left hand and off we go. As they settle down, I lengthen the leashes and they pick their positions. Jonah out front, Jessie beside me eithe ron the right or left and Joshy brings up the rear. As long as they are appropriately responsive and are not all over the place I don't mind a relaxed formation. If it gets nuts, I tighten up and they fall back onto my left and we speed up again. it is just practice. You'll get what works for you.

This sums it up very nicely. You will get there, Do not despair. Just slow down. Give him time, space, lots of routine, and boundaries. You will have a great dog!

What everyone else has said about having your kids keep out of PJ's space but be comforted by the fact that your dog has excellent bite inhibition. He is giving all kinds of very very obvious warning signs of discomfort without biting, This gives you the opportunity to fix things without a disaster happening. I like to tell adopters that small kids and dogs - most especially new to home dogs- are like small kids and bathtubs, You never ever leave them alone together and always within arms reach.

That is more than like just a new to home and routine thing. It is not a track thing. It may take you awhile to get him on to whatever routine you need him to be on but right now he needs free access to water and out frequently on a set routine. That said, like others have said, Joshy pees maybe twice a day if he feels like it. Sometimes more. Jonah will pee every time he is put out as did Jack.

Promising news!!

While I usually come home for lunch, if I don't my three are just fine all day. I don't limit where they go but for sure if you aren't secure, have her space limited till you know.

My Jilly was great offleash too. her recall was spot on. None of teh rest of mine could be trusted off leash. Your picture is beautiful.

He was so beautiful Cindy. I understand exactly how you feel. I'm so very sorry your sweet boy had to leave you. Run free over the bridge sweetheart.

Ah Kyle I am so very sorry. I have no words . Jack and Charlie, you boys watch over your family now.

I'm so very sorry Claudia. Ekko was without a doubt one of a kind and so very special. She will be missed.

I'm sorry Nancy. Albi was such a sweetie and I know your heart must just be broken right now.

Keep fighting Jax, You have a lot of people pulling for you!

Caroline I'm so very sorry. This should never happen and I know how much it hurts. So many of us will never forget Sabrina.

I'm so sorry. Yes absolutely spoil him every minute you have!!

What a sweetheart he looks to be! Hoping with everything that you get the B9 news!

I'm so sad to read that your Tessa had to leave.

Ah Marc what a very special girl she was. There are so many of us who will miss her so much. She will always be remembered.
