Re: pillock
no they have a walk at dinner if my foot can handle it - - but they play all day in large garden with free reign via dogflap - i didnt know wether it was his food allergies ( skinners duck/rice) or belly too full? or just him being silly -- think rains too heavy for him now cos hes slunk in and is sat looking at me with sad face

Re: pillock
Biscuit doesn't, she couldn't bare to be away from the humans for too long! Does he get a daily walk away from the garden? Is suggest a short on lead walk in the evening if possible, exercise generally gets dogs to do their business, and a garden will never make up for the different smells and stimulation of a walk. Biscuit will toilet in the garden if she needs to, but passes most of her motions on her walks

Re: pillock
ive got a foot disabilty and some days i cant walk them - hence free run of garden or diy obstacle course -- but gizzy isnt doing it to do his business ---- he just goes and sits by the gate for hours no matter what the weather is - comes in periodically to pace - then goes and sits outside again until bedtime

Re: pillock
Every other day is better than not at all for sure, how long are they out for when you can get to walking them? How old is he also? I had an ebt in kennels that used to do this, his was an older boy and had a bit of doggy dementia I think, they found giving him a strict daily routine helped, so that he knew when his meals, walks and settle down time was coming. This helped him a lot and he stays indoors in the evenings now

Re: pillock
they get 30 - 45 mins offlead when walked - and they play chase outside most the day - also on days i cant walk i have a diy obstacle in garden so spend 20mins or so each with jumps-tunnel-balls etc - they have set meal times and know bedtime so there is a routine - he usually starts around 6ish pm and finally settles on sofa around 9ish

Re: pillock
It may just be a habit he has got into, but it does sound as if he is asking to go out for a walk. He probably doesn't understand why he goes out one day but not the next, so asking in case you had forgotten!

Re: pillock
It's such a difficult situation, shame there is no one to help walk them. Sorry to hear you are suffering for it now. Glad Gizmo happier though

Re: pillock
The title of this thread mad me laugh. My girl will dig her paws in rather than go out in the rain. Thought it was just her until I joined this forum
Think Gizzy is probably just asking to go for a walk as has been suggested, so perhaps not the pillock you thought
I also think that giving them the stimulation that you do is great given that walking them is a bit of an issue for you

Re: pillock
Is it the working dog Skinners you feed because that is quite high in protein for a non working dog (although it is handy being gluten free for allergies)
