ok i have a few questions, so here goes
– when stan gets grass seeds caught in his coat do i need to get them all out, will they dig into him and hurt him? if so then what is the best way to remove them all.
– stan has started pestering in the morning, at 6am if i am still in bed then he will start paseing between the loung and bedroom and shoving his nose in my face until i get up, why does he do this? how can i stop it?
– and finaly he has started wimpering and wineing, so why does he do this? and how can i stop it?any help would be much aprechiated ;D
July 26, 2009 at 10:37 am #73654xtineMemberWhen he wakes you up is it cause he needs out? What time is his last pee / poo walk of the night?
When is he whining?
July 26, 2009 at 12:05 pm #73655dogloverwoooo!Memberdo u pay any attention when he starts whining? speak to him or give him anything? could be an attention seeking thing…………..
July 26, 2009 at 4:27 pm #73656kerrie and stanMemberxtine, no he doesnt need to go to the toilet. they first few times that he did this i took him straight into the garden but he just stand there and stares at me so its not that. his last let out is 9pm – 10pm and we go out in the morning between 6am – 8am
i first noticed him whine a few weeks ago when i was feeding him, he only did it once so i ignored it but then he started doing it everytime i went to feed him so i stopped feeding him when he whined and he only got his food if he didnt make a noise for 1 minuet (aprox) and he soon got the idea. however now he is whining when i tie him up down the horses and go and work with one of the horses, its constant whining, i do ignore it but he just gets louder. i take a kong down most of the time but that doesnt work. i have told him to be quiet a few timesJuly 26, 2009 at 5:07 pm #73657.dodger.Membersounds like he’s bored down at the horses. Have you got the quiet on cue?
I have benji and dodger in my room and every morning Benji paces around the room whining. He either does it because he needs out for the loo or he can hear my parents up and wants out.
July 26, 2009 at 5:32 pm #73658kerrie and stanMemberwell he gets the run of the field (5 acre field no less ::) ) and it is only when i am working with a horse that he gets tied up other than that he has the run of the place. so i dont think it can be put entirly down to boardom
i think its my alarm thats triggering the morning behavoure as he will pace and pester from the moment that my first alarm goes off until i get up.July 26, 2009 at 7:52 pm #73659xtineMemberFritz will do this if he knows we are stirring, but as soon as we let him out of the bedroom he hops onto the sofa for a snooze ::)

[/quote]maybe he’s whining when you tie him up because he’s frustrated. He wants to continue running around and you take away that and make him sit away from it all so he gets bored.

[/quote]possibly, i am still working on his cues at the moment. will have to work harder on them :embarrass: i think.
the thing is though that if he is cued to stay (and when he does stay) then he doesnt whine, its only when he is tied up. so its possible that you are rightxtine stan will go into the lounge and snooze then come back in and shove his nose in my face on my second alarm then go back in the lounge, and will keep doing this until i get up 😀 well at least he gets me up ;D
