Hi Jen Sleep on a tee shirt and put that on him when you go out (being careful to tie up any loose bits like the waist .. so he can't trip. Solid doors can spook greys so a child gate is good and usually works .. maybe he's been used to sleeping with his person so is feeling lost 🙁 and he's had a lot to cope with recently so you might need to start just leaving him and the others for a moment. ..back in the room, ignore him etc etc. A crate can give a worried dog a sense of security as long as you introduce it carefully .. my crate is always open and mine choose to lie in it plus you can give him a Kong without the others squabbling over it (always supervise if you give food out and you have more than one dog). Take him to one of the training classes to get him to use his brain - you tire them mentally quicker than physically 🙂 and you could do a bit of fun training with him which hopefully will settle him. Learn TTouch - that's great for calming dogs and teaching them confidence 🙂 Best wishes Julie

Mine don't like being locked away either - they stay in the kitchen (behind a dog gate) overnight or when I'm out. If I'm out for any length of time I leave the radio on, as Jill suggested. Can Fudge see the garden from your lounge? Maybe the squirrels are teasing him? Is he barking/whining when he first goes into the lounge or is he waking you in the night? Try and grab a copy of Jan Fennel's book which the kennels have copies of for sale. Given his history, I expect Fudge will need a little extra reassurance. Big hugs to the gorgeous boy xxx

when you say shut them into the lounge do you mean shut the door or do you have a dog gate? mine do not like to be behind closed doors but seem to be happy behind a dog gate so they can still look out. hope you can work something out...love Ina

Hi Jen, have you tried leaving a radio on in the lounge, this works for mine when I go out. Are your cats in the house day and night?

Help please!! Due 2 us having the cats we shut the dogs in the lounge overnight or when we're not at home, but over the last couple of days Fudge has started whining quite a bit n has now also started barking, he seems 2 be showing some signs of seperation anxiety, he was fine n didn't do this 4 the 1st few days he was here. We haven't had this problem at all with Cally & Mystic n would be very grateful 4 any advice that any1 could give us on how 2 deal with it n hopefully stop it. Thanx Jen & the gang xxx

A quick update on Penny, or Nora, as in Batty as I sometimes call her...all she needs is wrinkled stockings! The move went well, she enjoyed being spoilt at Bark Inn kennels and settled down into the new house as if she'd always been here. Her and Buddy have formed a "food stealing" gang, so far a box of biscuits and noodles have been swiped...Artful Dodger and Fagin...! She also decided that she'd investigate her new area when I left the gate open (I know, I know...!) to collect the wheely bin, she apeared to go suddenly deaf to my calling her and needed to be chased and hearded into a garden round the corner by me, Buddy, Jack and an old guy on his mobility scooter before I could grab her! All good fun! Good job I've got a sense of humour and a supply of emergency chocolate under the mattress! Penny sends licks xxxx
