Bit of advice needed from the more experienced dog owners on here:

 

Stan's been a bit of a dick this week. He's been getting up earlier (probably due to the clocks going back) which is one thing but another is he has had CRAZY seperation anxiety. Normally when it's time to get up he'll wimper a bit but this morning it was the full howls and barking effort at 5:30am!

 

He was due a visit to the vets and they did his anal gland and said that might be the cause of the problem as he's in discomfort but he still seems the same now. We just shut him in the living room whilst we were cooking and again barking etc We try to not go to him until he settles down (as to not re-enforce that Barking = Humans) but it's hard in the morning when we have neighbours with kids etc

 

We have used the adaptil plugs before but don't really want to have to use them for the rest of our lives ya'know? Any help fellas?

Have you had young 'uns letting off fireworks at all times of the day, could be those he doesn't like if this is a new thing.

 

I did think that but to be honest he doesn't really respond to the bangs and that he just ignores them. he slept til 6:30am today which is his normal time wake up time in the week. He has a rotten arse today, he had a bit of left over beef in his tea. Had to keep the windows in the car open regardless of the temp on the way home!

You owl-arse get, I don't know whats tighter, tying him to the bike or making the poor fucker wear that luminous jacket thing.

 

Had to go to funeral near Southport yesterday and saw some woman walking a Husky along the road and she's got this coat/over-throw thing on the dog. I felt like stopping and telling her - It's a fucking Husky dog for fucks sake, it lives for this kind of weather. The dog was panting it's tits off.

It's really good mate. It keeps him well away from the wheels in anything but a sharp ninety degree turn. You can pretty much relax in the knowledge the dog won't come to any harm, but obviously have to watch out for glass or anything else he might hurt himself on.

 

Really impressed with it.

 

And Mr Butty, it's just so we don't get ploughed down by traffic when riding at night. He's on the left side anyway, but I don't want to be explaining sudden death by Renault Megane. It's definitely not a warmth thing.
