Snoopy how does your dog see ?

Absolutely no idea. It's really weird. He did run into a glass door earlier, but I did that on my first day too.

could probs do with a bit more than 2 old tshirts. get him a bit of vetbed tomorrow and stick that down for him. more comfy and a bit of insulation if it gets nippy

Don't leave the food with him through the night and take him out for a wee break right before you intend to hit the pillow.  The crying usually stops after the first couple of nights and the first night will be abso torture, but hold tough.

PS  He's lovely

Had a good night with Hank. Just a bit of barking at around 7.30am and some minor defecation in the crate. Main problem at the moment seems to be nipping. He's pretty incessant and, even at this age, his teeth are quite sharp. I try to say no firmly, and often he'll stop and sit there quietly, but if you move or go to stroke him, he'll just go for the nip again. I tired yelping and then walking to my chair and ignoring, but it's not really working yet. Any advice for nipping this in the bud?

i got a wired haired dashund pup a couple of months ago and it was the worst idea ever with a 9 month baby in the house.dashund are notoriously hard to train as they have a very stubburn streak in them and they tend to bond with one member of the family more than others.
we had to give up after 6 weeks it was just to much,if you have all the time in the world to train one then i would say go for it they are lovely dogs but if you are going out a lot then they are not the right pups fpr you imo
gl if you get one

and snoops your dog is so cool

Thanks. We got v lucky to get him. Only 39 Pulik were born in the UK last year, so you normally have to wait around a year.

We were pretty close to getting a Dachsund, but I was worried about the problems you incurred with training. Hopefully Hank will keep improving. He's very cute, but nipping more than TJ Cloutier. I'm just relieved that he slept well tbh.

Going for our first walk soon.

Try watching some episodes of the Dog Whisperer for some good tips on how to handle dogs (showed on various sky channels most days).  Cesar Millan is a genius when it comes to dogs.

Better hair than snoops tbf

[gatso]

you need to train him to do this snoops



I might pop round and borrow him sometime, he's pretty cool looking

[snoopy1239]

It's been an up and down day. Took him for his first walk at lunch time, met some dogs, he slept a bit, didn't nip much and was generally well behaved. He's now misbehaving terribly and nipping has been incessant tonight. He's in full ambush mode and won't let go when he's got my trousers, growling and pulling the trouser leg from side to side. Before, saying no and ignoring him worked, but not now. I wasn't really sure how to react, so I've decided to put him in his crate. Is that the right thing to do? Is it normal for him to suddenly start misbehaving? What do you do when they won't let go and aren't responding?

Phew. Exhausting day.

Get Sofa-King to come round with a 3ft lump of wood and a balaclava. Will soon teach him to behave :-)

Cracking dog by the way snoops.
