Arthur does have another bed in the kitchen but he doesn't seem to like it. He wants to spend most of his time in the lounge. We have a crate, which we placed in the kitchen when we first had him as we were hoping the crate would be only a temporary measure as we had to move the tumble drier. Like I say our house is relatively small, with no garage. Although our old golden retriever and springer were okay. I will get the crate out again and move the tumbledryer if that would be better.

Arthur seems a lovely boy pippadog, you just need to gain confidence in him and he in you. Greys are a little different to other breeds in some respects as I have learned helping at the kennels but they have a very gentle nature. I have only dealt with other breeds up till now and Im learning all the time but you are not alone and Ruth especially has a wealth of knowledge to draw from. Well done so far, Im sure it wont be long before you two can bond, it will take time. 🙂 x

Hi pippadog, do you have anywhere else in the house his bed could go or could he manage with a slightly smaller bed? I would try to be confident as much as possible around him but would definitely not step over him so if he keeps laying in the way, his bed really does need to move. Don't know if this helps but hope it does x

Just need a little advice. Also apologies in advance if my queries seem a little obvious, but I just want to get things right. Arthurs bed in the lounge is in front of the armchair, just by the tv and the lounge door. Our lounge and house is quite small and Arthur is a big dog so I don't want to disrupt his space. Anyway, at the moment I am a little uncomfortable walking round him to turn the tv off or pass him to go upstairs etc. I keep drawing him away for a treat, but this makes it nearly impossible every time I want to walk around the house. Hubby just moves around as normal and tells me to do the same but its getting a bit nerve raking. There is no other room in the lounge for his bed to go as he takes up quite alot of space. Should I just carry on around him as normal. Obviously I won't approach him when he is asleep, but am I okay to walk around him when just doing my day to day activities. My other dogs either moved out of the way or I just stepped over them, without an issue.

How nice to hear there are other greys like daisy. I agree about the frosty weather though i'm thinking shes going to be in that basket and not in the garden!

Lily is such a little puppy! She loves to play and is such a loving little girl. House trained and walks beautifully on the lead, no reaction to things around her such as traffic and other dogs, although she has been interested in the cats I think it's a curiosity issue and not aggression, she has been "up close and personal" with the cats and just sniffed them. I'm sure there is a loving forever home waiting for her and I hope it comes soon as she deserves to be repaid all the love she gives.

She sounds like our two. Neither of them even try to get on the sofa. One can't climb the stairs, so beds don't come into it either. But.......they both love galloping up the garden, skidding to a halt and covering me in mud. When's the cold, frosty weather coming, I'm fed up of wiping muddy paws!!! Mand x

I really can't believe how good Davey is being at our house. He slept all night with no accidents last night and is so good playing and sharing with the toys and waiting his turn for treats - such a difference to how he has been at the kennels. Golden!

She sounds like a star! My Joey won't get on the sofa or the bed - no matter how hard I try to convince him! He loves his duvet or lies at our feet 🙂

Daisy has got a gold star from my vets today for being such a good girl when she had her health check. Daisy has put on a little weight - another 1 kilo needed to get to a perfect sofa weight. She is such a joy to own. Still nervous and still refusing to get on any of my sofas......never had this before with any of my greys.....but loving her sheepskin rugs and big cosy basket with her duvet and pink fleecy blanket. I can't believe she has been here for six weeks already. Still not a bark just a happy sqeak when I come downstairs in the morning. She has discovered that she can race around the garden and loves to do it three tmes and then slide through the muddy grass for a cuddle. She is getting braver though and isn't so spooked by noises and new things as she was; although pushbikes are still very scary!
