Ive heared about a pointer that had in a short time chewed from one room into another and eaten the bed! But that dog was just so understimulated. They thought they could have a pointer as a "companion dog" and they are just so hight energy dogs. I think they soon after sold him. Crazy labs ;)...

Hello and welcome :)

That may work for Theo, he loves balls. Alf doesnt...

Hello! I want to make my walk with the dogs more fun for them. Do you have any tips? What do you do to make your dog have fun during walks? Ive tried the "candy-tree" and seeking candy I throw out. Do you have any games you do for the dog? If you have more than one, how do you...

I do believe that a play pen or some kinde of fencing is ok! That can even be necessary for safty, but I can not accept keeping a dog in a crate, Thats to small for a dog laying down for hours...

Its interesting that you dont hear a lot in sweden of dogs eating the house up if they are left in a big house. Some people leave their dog in one room only if they feel more safe. But limit the dog to just laying in the same spot, or sitteing in the same spot like in a crate for HOURS I...

Doxies just loves when you come home, even if you just was right there! :)

I find it interesting you are so ok with leaving them at home, sleeping all day. A dog has the cognitive skills of a 3 y old child, and you wouldnt leave a child home in a cage? :) Beeing alone for to long has great damages on a dogs mental health. Very much like people beeing isolated...

Haha just so dachshund :) "my way" :)

Its when owners who gets a dog and not knowing enough about the breed that it becomes a problem. You need to know that the dachshund is a hunting dog, that means that they have quick reflexes and "bite first ask questions later". The can bite for instanse a child that surprises them. So...

If something changes in the dogs behaviour you should always go to the vet at first, maybe she has some problems? Is there anything diffrent in her routines? Some dogs are sensitive to changes, like beeing home alone longer or furniture moving around, new sounds or something... Hope it gets...

Our dog cant be home for more than 3 hours. Thats Alfs limit. Al dogs are different some dogs cant be left alone at all. Have you tried to leave him in one room while you go into another? Fence between. Leave him with something to chew on? Like a raw bone. Go back after a few sec and slowly go...

I believe it can be the crate. I would not hace my dog in a crate at night. Let him be in the same room with you so he can go where you go. Is he scared of the dark? Our doggies are :) The bark a lot at evening, at any sound they wouldnt bark at at daylight... Good luck :)

Oh please dont use anti-bark collars! I know where they have gone terribly wrong! You have no idea WHAT the dog thinks he is beeing punisched for! If the dog is focusing on something that the dog feels good about (barking at a tree or cat or dog) and suddently it sprays them or vibrate they...

I think she may need some time to get used to your home, since you recently adopted her. I have no other advice than what you allready doing. Talk to a vet if they have any magic tricks. Maybe she doesnt feel safe outside? Scared of anything?

Its hard to tell but in Sweden, our swedisch kennel club has some guidelince and roulse for selling puppies. So for selling puppies in Sweden they have to be: - vet checkt with a certificant no older than 1 week when you pick up the puppie. - puppies has to be vaccinated and dewormed. - the...

Oh my god! Fantastic story :-) Hope he has his healt.

Yes awareness is a good first step! And talking about it. I so hope that we can find a good way to screen for backproblems...

In our part of Europe we have good variation in the gene pool so I dont see it nessecary to broaden it. If we can identify the cause of backproblems we can via selective breeding get healtier dogs :) Not all small-legged dogs like bassets and corgies has these back problems. So I believe if we...

yes it is interesting but some scientist mean that there are no such conection, so x-ray doesnt have any effect. But maybe Finland has something else to say? :) I hope they find some way to prevent back-problems.
