I have a fabric travel crate that a friend uses to move rescue dogs so think I'll get that and try to have it in the kitchen to see if that calms her. It's pretty good as it gives them security but also allows it to be left open so they don't feel too confined. I bought it for this reason so a little dog I used to sponsor before she got her forever home felt secure. She was terrified of everything and we were advised that being in one of these in a normal home would help her feel safe but also become used to the home she was in and give her somewhere to hide if she felt to overwhelmed.
For months now the dogs haven't been walked, I had been asked not to go as the guy was too busy so only learnt this today when speaking to someone else so not happy . I'd been told that they were regularly walked and played with.
I am giving the male a month or so to see how training with him goes, I know I'll never be able to walk him while there are other dogs about and feel very sad for him because of this. I've spoken to another large boxer owner and she said hers is the same, he's terrified of all dogs but she has a huge garden for him to play in and her DH walks him at 5am so they never encounter other dogs. Knowing that this maybe his future makes me very upset, I've cried for him a lot today.
He's genuinely a big softy in the house, he obeys most commands and all he wants is to sit as close to you as possible and do things to please you. The wag of his tale today as he done his training makes me so happy, he's just happy to have someone who's pleased with what he's done. His face is so full of expressions, his eyebrows make him look like he's frowning if he gets told off and his confused look is funny. Oh and his 'puppy dog eyes' would melt the hardest of hearts.
I love him so much that even writing this and thinking about letting him go is making me cry
If I could walk him somewhere secure it would be great, we'll have to see what I can sort out.

Sorry if my thoughts made you sad. He sounds so adorable and faithful. I love how dogs want to please. Maybe if your pitch has not reopened there could be one in another park you could drive to. I understand not being able to take his strength
on a lead as this was covered when I did a pain management course.
You have got me thinking about getting another lurcher. Farley used to get very cold and had a stripes jumper with a hood, if washed she would sit and wait for it to dry. If we went out I put a waxed jacket on the top. A year after her passing I went into an estate agents and they had a lurches who was recovering from a nasty attach by another dog, huge bald patches where she had been operated on. The next day I went back with my Farleys coat and jumper. Felt like the right thing to do.
I am amazed by all these different behavioural and educational things you can get for dogs
Really hope your dogs settle down as they deserve their forever home. I will have images of your boxers proud little wrinkled face in my mind all night now.

Lucky you, my 3 have never been good sleepers, in fact still aren't. It is a fight every night to get them to bed, but my OH is a late night person and I guess kids take after him.

I do think it is down to training but in my case it is probably due to gult, working full time we aren't home most evenings until 6pm and then by the time you sort dinner, homeworks and actually try to see them for a little while before you know it, it is well past 9 heading for 10pm.

im a stay at home mum and o/h is home at 4.30 evey day so we are lucky (i think so) so i can see why yours are up later, my dd decided her own bed time since birth dd1 that is dd2 took bit of training;) but we have it naw infact dd clock watches till bot 5.45 and then dose teeth and tolilet and bed with sto:Try easy and dd2 dose same naw;) they share a room (there choice) and ido feel luck but dd2 is a non stop child so all day im on the go she dosnt do sit still :eek::rotfl::rotfl: at the moment shes taking to hide and seek:rotfl::rotfl: but she lieks me to hide:( im trying to ge her to hide and ill take while to find her
