Up until this morning we'd just about given up on her & I was awake again at 4am wondering whether we were doing the right thing by keeping her but then she allowed the cats to walk past her this morning without her leaping off her bed & then she saw them playing on the stairs and turned away so hopefully, (& make sure you keep those fingers crossed!) we are starting to make some progress. Cats seem a bit more relaxed now too & when they do venture downstairs they are walking rather than running past her which helps. Her hock is much better now, she's stopped limping and is managing to do 3 good walks a day.

PS Like the others have said chewing is usually a sign of stress, do you leave the toys down? Again I'd pick them all up so that there's no trigger for a squabble when i'm not around to referee and I wouldn't let them have squeaky toys at this stage in case that gets them over excited ... for the moment it sounds like you need to establish quiet, calm and control. I love Kongs ... stuff them with things like dog food and peanut butter/mashed potato etc so its hard to get the food out and that occupies them for a while and they have to use their brain.. you will need to have a Kong for all the dogs and again make sure you are watching them whilst they eat them in case one finishes his early and tries to steal from another. Its not about dominance (hateful word) but about having boundaries and good manners. J x

Hi Check out how much exercise he's getting ... I always suggest a good hour mornings and evenings then a late wee stop if you are having problems with them .. you can usually reduce this as they settle but a nicely tired dog is usually more likely to sleep and relax. Food - in my experience greys can be intolerant to even chicken and rice which is why we started to recommend people try Burns Pork and Potato, less than 20% protein is a must and I never feed anything brightly coloured or with additives ... like children dogs (in my experience) can become hyper. What happens at feed times .. I saw you said ' can't eat the others food till they've had their fill' now I may have got the wrong end of the stick here but I would always stand between my dogs while they eat and I never let them go to each others dishes (until they have all been with me for weeks/months) .. food is a great resource and I don't want any arguments, no bullying, no-one missing out on food PLUS its a great time to establish that what you say (usually LOL) goes. I'm no fan of 'dominance' arguments but to me its just a time to establish good manners and that I am to be listened to ...if they are all swopping dishes at food times maybe the others feel bullied and upset ... and that's when serious arguments can happen 🙁 Give me or Ruth or your home checker a ring as its difficult to cover everything without knowing exactly what's going on.

I would consider trying him with a cage for night use - maybe Daybreaks can lend you one as a trial. This might help Cally too until she gets used to the change in the household as it will give her a rest from needing to look for Sunny and his antics.
