The dog thread is better than the cat thread, because it features dogs.

you could keep the vacuum cleaner on the bed

weltweit are you doing anything to prevent him from getting on your bed, other that telling him no. Like, is the door closed securely in a way he can't easily open? In terms of resetting his behaviour it's going to be easier to reward him for walking away from a closed door as a first step. I would say that if you don't teach him in stages then you will be setting him up to fail.

Hi Rebelda, thing is my office is through the bedroom so if I want to shut Larry out of the bedroom and want to go on my computer I am shutting him out from me also which doesn't seem fair.

Can you put a dog bed in there and reward him lots for getting in that instead? Training him on to something will be easier than off ime. Do this instead is more positive than just don't do that.

Cassie is allowed upstairs and has a bed in our room which she sleeps on but given half the chance she'll be on the bed. She loves sleeping on the bed and often stays there when we get up and go downstairs.

I like your thinking

I had a rather pleasing moment with mungo earlier, where he behaved like an impressively well trained dog. We’d gone with the oldies for pub steak and chips in the pub, and my napkin had ended up on the floor. He was hanging around us and all the neighbouring tables for food and fusses, as well as sniffing at the other dogs.
I clicked my fingers and said ‘could you get me that Thing from under the table There’ and he, after looking at me for a bit like seriously you want that old bit of dirty tissue, went under the table, picked it up and sat to give it to me.
This makes up so much for the last few evenings when he’s come in smelling of slimey pond and all the usual times where he doesn’t seem or look or behave like an impressively well trained dog.

I met an old English sheepdog/giant poodle cross recently. She was so gorgeous and very bouncy.

I love Newfoundlands. In fact any massive dog tbh.

I got leapt on by a gregarious black labrador puppy in Chatham this afternoon. Puppies are like pure shots of joy, even if the git did nibble at my beard.

Seriously love poodles after bonding with the landlady's one when I was a lodger way back in the day. Intelligent and loyal dogs and would be my first choice of dog if I was going to get one.
Crossed with a Newfoundland that is a whole other dog food bill though

 

[Cloo]

Presumably what my sister looked after is a Poofoundland?

 

[two sheds]

or Foundpooland?

So the puppies have gone to their forever homes, and now Dolly is the main dog. She's been enslaved into the awfulness of the puppy farm.. aka the kitchen with the obligatory climbing toddler who was sharing his apple pie with her. It's a hard life lol

Was out this morning and saw a very different side to Blue... A kid had a little remote control car that he was racing around the park; the sound/movement of which was very similar to the whine of the 'rabbit' at greyhound tracks. Dog went absolutely nuts for it. Hair down his back standing up like a mohican; both ears at full earection; eyes bulging out of his head; total fixation; chasing it like a maniac. The kid was pretty good with the car so kept it out of Blue's reach for a while but he did eventually catch it. Didn't know what to do with it then obviously Getting him back on the lead was a bit of a faff as he was was in a complete other world - eventually I had to properly bellow his name to get him to focus.

(Turned out I knew the family as I'd taught the mum in Year 6. I was bit 'how tf has she got a 3 year old, I only taught her a couple of years ago?' Actually more like 17 years Fuck I'm old )

I’ve just had a nice holiday in Wales with these two beautiful doggies. And also have the pleasure of walking my neighbours dog Ralph a very cuddly bull dog, Don’t tell Stan!

This is her 'get off your bum and take me for a walk' face.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

She likes her chews.



When she was a pup and used to sleep in her crate, my partner would take them off her before bed. She's not forgotten. If my partner comes near when she has a chew you should hear the growling.
