Hi slimdogs I'm pleased to hear Cooper is doing so well. There are ways you can help with his marking. If you give the kennels a call they will be able to advise you. X

Bandit (Andy)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Over Christmas I was at the kennels showing some of the volunteers a little Clicker Training and we used Bandit ... what a quick boy 🙂 We were asking him to put his nose on a toy on the floor to earn a 'click' and a treat ... he walked to me and Sarah just to see if we'd give him a treat then he shot over to the toy and put his nose on it then looked round as if to say 'D'ye see that?, where's my reward?' I really loved him ... such a bright boy 🙂 He deserves a very special home that'll carry on teaching him lots of tricks and games 🙂 J x

Luke had his castrate and dental yesterday and was collected from our house last night by his foster mum and dad..... who clearly adore him! The vets loved him - he reminds me very much of Kite - one of my long lost favourites x

I'm over the moon that this beautiful boy has settled in so well, and delighted that he has a beautiful new sister. You know how we feel about him and this has made my day. No doubt you will have some good advice from 'male' greyhound owners with regards to house training - good luck. All sounds promising. xxxxx

Zac
Over the Rainbow Bridge
came to find a new companion for our girl, after losing our big boy...very early days as we only lost him last month, but sherley girly was pining and desperate for some company. We came to look at zak, and crofty. Me and hubby walked them both . . . .couldnt fault either of them. zak is the most gentle, calm friendly chap, and there is absolutley no negatives with him. He is a perfect easy gentleman, and will soon have his forever home i am sure:) We fell for the charms of cooper . . .. . when its right you just know. But Zak, i can still see your beautiful, handsome and kind face. Lots and lots of love and hugs. and many thanx to your lovely foster mum for her time on sunday. Special lady.

we went to daybreaks on sunday, to look for a new companion for our sherley (6 year old greyhound) After seeing cooper, we were totally smitten . . . .and although we had doubts up until that point, weather it was too soon after losing our big boy Smudge:( . . .our doubts disapeared when we met cooper. He has been with us for 24 hours now . .and him and sherley have already snuggled up together! The look on coopers face when he was lying on the duvet by the radiator smelling spagetti bolognaise cooking this evening was pure relaxed heaven:) He has enjoyed his walks with Sherley, and slept through the night beautifully, and the greetings we get are fabulous. We are in love:) Only one hiccup . . . .. . He is marking his territory around the house . . ..which i presume and hope is purely a settling in thing . . . . however, if it continues, has anyone had experience of this problem, and any ideas of tricks to help to stop it?! He is quite recently castrated so i presume testosterone levels are still falling, which i am sure will help . . .hopefully! Thanx to you all for trusting us with this special boy, and particularly to the lovely lady who spent time with us on sunday, you are fabx x x xAnd a big thankyou to Nichola and hubby for all the info they were able to share with us having taken cooper out and about.

Wow what a difference a dental makes in the past two daysted has barked at the door when someone knocked has decided when he can't get in Minnie's bed that Emily's lap makes a great place to lay your head and has started playing with toys today much to Minnie's disgust at having to share she keeps giving him evil stares but no growling
