My Collie has suddenly taken a dislike to football and either hides under the bed or under the bushes in the garden. Not sure why as my wife and I don't shout or go mad if something happens

In just four days I've gone from having zero dogs to five dogs (in three sets) because some friends went to a festival in the Netherlands.

It's been something of a mathematical riddle. The solo dog is 17 years old and as long as I walk him 3 times a day he couldn't give less of a shit of what I do or where I am. He is low maintainance. I only need to visit him every 8 hours or so.

Then there's a set of two dogs also accustomed to being alone but in need of a bit more attention so I try to visit/walk them every 5 hours.

And then there's these two beasts.

These two don't accept being left alone so I live with them right now and bring over a friend when I need to go do other dog business. They are the calmest, coolest and easiest dogs I've ever handled. No barking, no anger towards other dogs. Still requiring quite a bit of attention as they see cats as food, and there's a fuckload of cats around where I walk them.

I brought in an Assistant Dog Manager very early on but I'm still walking dogs 9-11 times a day and its wonderful, but to anyone contemplating about getting five dogs spread over three locations I'd have to say "nah, settle for 2 or 3".

Looks like you should be on a sleigh with those chaps, maybe one with wheels? Although if they see a cat the acceleration might be interesting..........

You should be able to find this in your size 😉

Picked up this lovely little lad a couple of weeks ago. Still finding his feet in the house but he has settled in well. Lots of nipping going on, loads of effort but it's obviously worth it all. Looking forward to being able to get him out for some walks in the next week or so to get some energy out! View attachment 170142View attachment 170143
Here's my springer now at almost 1yo. Such a lovely boy. We have 9 & 6 yo boys (human) and he really sees himself as one of them:

I love seeing all these photos, but man I miss my Rosie so much. It's been four years now, but it's not the right time in ours lives to get another dog yet, she was just the right dog at the right time. I look forward to the day when we can properly devote the time to having another dog in our family, never known anything like it.

I wish my Jack Russell would behave or I could teach her because I can only have her off the lead if she has a ball. Gotten to aggressive with other dogs. Anything bigger than her she’ll fight with.
She’s a superb dog with people. I have 4 young grandchildren and she adores them.

Small dog mentality I’m afraid.

You could try this 🙂

My two, not that you can see Maddie's face, but I'm sure she's somewhere else on the thread. She's a black lab cross that we've had for just over 11 years. The grey one is Millie, she was adopted as a puppy just over a year ago and they claimed she was an XL Bully, shortly after that the ban was annlunced and fortunately she is far too small to be an XL Bully so we missed out on having to go through all the hoops associated with that. She's a proper softie who loves nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa with me, which is where she is now.
