paulsmithy83 567 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Just needs time to settle in to new surroundings , new owner, new routine. Got to remember what he knows and become habbit to has changed. Just dont reward the whinning in the same sence as dont punish it. If no possitive or negitive attemtion comes from it he should hush up quicker 2 Quote Link to post

shaaark 10,386 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Don't know what happened to my earlier post! Was just going to say, along with a few emoticons, that the 'few pics' thread seems to have chilled a few of people out! lol . And just say to ruggers that I wouldn't give your new dog too many retrieves while he's still getting used to you, new routine etc. But that's just my view on it 2 Quote Link to post
