    I need some help… I am really struggling with some very unexpected feelings of anxiety and sadness. Context: I’ve been a teacher most of my life and I started a new job working at home from March. I’m a 55 year old bloke and I tend to be pragmatic and the calm one in the family. We got our...

    Hi everyone! I've been on 3 trips since getting my cat. She's a year old now. For both of the longer trips, 3 nights and then 6 nights, my brother stayed at our flat the whole time. For our most recent trip, which was just under 48 hours, we left her alone with extra bowls of food and water, an...

    My 10 year old pointer who has always had bags of off lead energy and great recall has some new behaviours in the last couple of months. Sometimes he is stopping and turning back after just a few minutes walk. He seems to want me to turn back, becomes nervous and shaking. Then he will run back...

    Hi everyone, My parter and I recently adopted a pair of 1 year old boys. We have had them about 4 weeks now and I'd say they have settled in great. They are always playing with each other, they eat fine, they sleep a lot! However, my anxiety has gone through the roof. Anything they do I start...

    Hi all. Just looking for any insight anyone may have on some strange behavior from our girl, she is 10 months old. She seems really unsettled and is walking around crying in the house seemingly at nothing, and wanting to spend a lot more time upstairs in her crate rather than sitting downstairs...

    Hi, I’m really hoping someone can advise me on my 7month old lovely boy cocker spaniel. We re-homed him 5 weeks ago and was told he was toilet trained. We walk him 2-3 times a day and let him out regularly during the day. When left downstairs on his own during the night we are waking up to pop...

    Hi, please help any advice really useful. I have an 11 week old puppy, he’s ok sleeping in his crate at night but if I go to put him in there in the day with his play pen he cries. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old and have been able to leave the house without someone being there yet...

    Our poor Rottweiler keeps scratching up her nose and when it starts to heal again she repeats it until it’s bleeding again. She is a rescue dog and we do believe she suffers with separation anxiety which is the only thing I can pin this issue down too, however I wanted to see if anyone has any...

    Hi guys, just looking for some advice. We have a 7 month old cat called Bamboo. He’s up to date with his jabs/flea/worming and has been neutered. We’ve been taking him out in the garden for a few months on an extendable lead and he seems to really enjoy himself but I know it’s about time that...

    We have a 3 month puppy (Male Fox Red Lab) who we put in a large pen in the living room. We have been doing some separation training by walking in and out of the room (making a cup of tea, going a toilet, standing outside the door talking)and by closing the door, telling him quiet about 10...
  11. Cat Training and Behaviour
    Hiya I’m new here! First post! My 1 year old spayed cat has some destructive behaviour issues, I honestly think it is because of anxiety. She is a very anxious cat that seems scared of a lot of things. When she was a kitten I found her outside and she was a very feral kitten, but obviously not...

    Hello, I have a one year old whippet who’s quite a nervous dog generally. Last year he was absolutely fine with fireworks so I wasn’t expecting any issues this year. About an hour ago he was in the garden and somebody in the area let off a few fireworks - he seemed absolutely fine at first, he...

    Hi, I was hoping for some advice. My boyfriend and I are looking after a friend's cat. He's moving to Germany and the cat can't travel with him yet so we have him for a few weeks. We've had him since Sunday and he's been hiding ever since. We've both owned cats before and know they can be...

    I am sorry in advance for what it will be a not so cheerful post. We welcomed our puppy lab a week ago in the family, who is an absolute treasure - outside potty trained nearly, sleeps very well at night and in his crate, very responsive to training, caring and playful - everything amazing that...

He had 1:1 training and lead walking with a trainer during lockdown in March and has been the perfect puppy since, housetrained, sleeps perfectly in his crate every night, sociable with dogs and...

  17. Cat Training and Behaviour
    Hi, my cat has real trouble with overgrooming and we’ve tried a lot along with vet visits. We recently tried piriton in case it was an allergy thing and seemed to be working, however it’s started up again in this last week. The only changes I can tell is my boyfriend going back to working away...

He's just about perfect apart from recently his dog walker has suggested getting him neutered for the reasons he is underweight and he shows some anxiety before going in her van and my car. And a bit of misbehaving when he's out with her and the...

    We have a 10-year-old Sprocker Spaniel called Paws who all of a sudden is showing some "out of character" behavior. From been 10 weeks old, he has slept downstairs on his own, light off, no problems. About a month ago I was woken up to hear what can only be described as one of the internal...
