I have a piece of string hanging from the door handle with a bell at nose height. I started putting a little food smeared on the bell, as soon as he touched it the door was opened. After a few sessions he got the hang of it. Next as soon as he touched the bell without food on it, he was given a...
I hope you are getting into a routine with your daxi now.
I think I must have been really lucky with Bernie, In the early days I left him in the kitchen with access to the summer room. Every day I would throw a heap of different toys down with him to play with..some with food/treats hidden in...
Frank looks so cute, I an imagine it was a complete nightmare to see him on the roof of the shed :eek: ,it is amazing what they can get upto, he was probably a cat or a mountain goat in a previous life :D
I hope your little one has settled down a bit now. He did seem very young, as several breeders we met over here (UK) before we got Bernie would not consider letting their puppies go before 12 weeks & more like 15wks.
I have had Dalmations (6) a Beagle & a cross GSD and Bernie has the been...
I think the first thing that should be done is to have a trip to the vet,,,to make sure all is well.
Then join some obedience classes and get some expert advice on anxiety issues.
It does also sound that your daxi is in a crate a lot of the time..Daxi crave human attention and love to be...
Bernie is 22 months old and the worst dog I have ever owned for toilet training. All my larger dogs where dry within 2 weeks of coming home.
If Bernie is crated at night..no problems and he has a big crate..not the bed size that is recommended.
Yes we take him out after every meal and...
I think we would do pretty well except for laying or sitting down at a distance. He would be fine if he is close by. I am pleased to say Bernie is very well socialised with dogs & humans. As soo many people want to stop & talk to him.I am glad he isn't a nervous dog :)
Aww bless him. I hope he is healing well this time. I think Bernie was lucky within a couple of hours you wouldn't of known he had had an op & never touched his wounds.
Fingers cross all is good for you now x

Welcome, I have a mini wire called Bernie, he is my first daxi, always had big dogs before. He was bought in remembrance of my Dad, Bernard.
He has such a great character,I am now absolutely smitten by this breed.
Bernie went through a stage of lying down whilst out on the lead.
WHen we first brought him home we had a GSD X called Buzz but I purposely walked them separately so that Bernie wasn't protected by Buzz. Sadly we had to have Buzz pts and all of a sudden Bernie wouldn't walk on the lead at...
