and am not massively fond of them, to be honest.
However, we have a new Border Collie puppy who is only seven weeks old and I have not an earthly clue on what to do for him.
My husband has sheep so the dog will be trained to work them eventually but in the meantime, Dog and I are at home.
We go out hourly for toileting but he pees everywhere. How do I help him to stop? Do you get dog nappies?
We spend a lot of time together (when he is not asleep) but he cries if we are separated eg if I go for a shower etc. I have put one of my woolly jumpers in his bed but he gets very upset if he cannot see me. Is this a phase and will he stop?
The house now smells of dog despite my shampooing all the carpets. I can smell it and it is not very nice. How to get rid of the smell?
He also chews constantly on toes, socks everything. I got him some chew toys but he prefers toes and wrists which hurt. How to stop him chewing at us?
Anything else that would be helpful?
I have been bitten by quite a few collies when I was younger and am a bit scared of them to be truthful. He is a good little dog but a complete mystery to me.
