Behavioural Problems

Steve · Steve

Our once placid and easy going Harry is starting to be a bit of a growler and today (and yesterday) he tried to snap at other doggies. We are not sure if he's just being protective or if he feels threatened. Can't see it being the latter as he's a bold big lad. He's a right growler in the back garden too if...

Just wondering what other folks' experiences are with 'keen' dogs. Is this something that goes slight;y over time or stays with them until the day they die? Must be very much a breeding and upbringing thing or is it?

Both Harry and Pearly go daft when we come home after work. Both now bark non stop, thrash around, spin, and generally take about 10 mins to quieten down - if lucky. Pearly used to be good as gold - she got excited and used to yap a bit but we used to send her to her box where she would lie down. Only the...

Wonder if anyone can help, Mr Spoons barks and lunges at EVERY non-greyhound he sees. With large dogs he seems to want to play and with small dogs/cats it's more aggressive. This wasn't too bad at first, but now Ruby is joining in. It's not giving a very good impression of greyhounds to the local are...

It has been three weeks now that we've added Harry to our household along with Pearly - our ex-racer that we've had for nearly a year now. To date we are still not sure who is top dog! Harry barges his way through life due to his size and enthusiasm for being first! Poor Pearly always gets shunted to one...

does anyone know why an otherwise clean dog would want to rub its neck in the most disgusting decomposing filth possible? it seems to have stopped it, but i have to keep an eye on in because you can see it considering doing it if it sniffs anything longer than about 5 seconds. last time it was half a decompo...

We've had our 2yr old greyhound bitch, Judy, for nearly a year now. For some time now she has started running to other dogs barking at them constantly, close to their head - very dominant. She is muzzled when off lead as she tends to nip when excited. She h...

Belle is about 17 months old and has the worst digestive system in any dog I've ever encountered. She's our first greyhound, but I don't think she's representative of the breed. The bottom line (no pun intended) is that she can eat nothing but Burns dried food, or will suffer diarrhoea fo...

I think that Spud may have been Houdini/Uri Geller/Rasputin in a past life - yeah OK so Uri Geller's still alive but you get the picture. He's got quite a character and he seems alot cleverer than either Willow or Alfie. He can do Sit and Lie Down and Up and Shaky Hands while Willow looks on...

Does anyone else have a totally food-obsessed dog? Mandy, our 4 year old greyhound, lives and breathes to steal as much sustenance as possible each day. We live like prison officers, bolting doors, wedging doors shut, locking babygates, all in the name of eating in peace. She knows our...

Poor Pearly - she's turning into a bit of a woos at the moment - seems to be a bit timind with most dogs, but now she's really scared of kites, mainly the big power kites. This causes us big probs as we live 5 mins from mile upon mile of sandy beaches - very popular with kite surfers, power kits and wind s...

Hi everyone, I'm the owner of Kaylay, who's 5 1/2. She's recently started wetting the living room carpet, maybe the past 2 weeks. I've had her a year and a half and had the few accidents but this is becoming more frequent. I take her out at night between 9-10pm and usually she's fine til...
