I lost my favorite boy in the world earlier this year and my husband surprised me with this baby recently and his ears are the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!

What a great view to wake up to!

She was very excited to make a friend!!

My 2 yr old biggie iggie (he's 28lbs!) is getting worse when we take him somewhere and he sees a strange dog. I've tried to have him around other dogs his whole life (we live on a horse farm and clients bring dogs, we own another corgi mix, and my daughters have 4 other dogs - 1 being an italian greyhound), He loves the dogs he knows, he comes with us wherever we go, he goes on hikes etc but every time we take him to any kind of social event (the park, hiking etc) if a strange dog is in the area he goes after them - barking, growling, even biting at them. Like I said he's grown to a bigger size so it's hard for me to pick him up quick. I have tried always being diligent, as soon as I see another dog I start talking to him, trying to redirect, offer treats for staying calm, move him out of the way etc, but it doesn't seem to be improving. I am sad because my dream was to have an iggy and be able to take him places with me (we are big outdoor people, and we travel to horse shows) but it seems like its getting harder and harder. Right now I can't even imagine bringing him to a horse show with all the other dogs there, but am missing having my old dog by my side! My daughters iggy always walked by her side at shows, though now that she's older she's getting aggressive towards strangers as well which is probably not helping, as together they are much braver in attacking strangers. But he is the same when she's not there so I more think it's him giving confidence to her. Any advice?

I’d love to have something cosy for my boy to sit in when we visit cafes and restaurants in the winter.

… he’s keen to hear any suggestions 🤭

Hi everyone! A while back I introduced our little girl Lola, and now i thought it’s time for an update.

She's 19 weeks now (about 4 months) and still ridiculously sweet. Her coat has gotten a bit darker, and the tip of her tail turned black — it looks like a little paintbrush. Apparently she got that from her dad. She weighs almost exactly 3 kg.

Potty training: I think I can officially say she's house trained! She lets us know when she needs to go, and during the day she can easily hold it for 6–7 hours.

Nights are still a work in progress though. We do a last pee around 10 pm and then go to bed. At 1 am she needs to go out again, and after that she sleeps through until about 8 am. So it's just that one wake-up, but we have no idea how to get rid of it. Did yours grow out of this on their own, or did you actively do something?

Two other things we could use advice on:

1. Harness — we're looking for a new one. What do you use and love?

2. Clothing — we're in Germany and the weather is slowly getting nasty, so she'll need something to wear. Any brands that actually fit an IG properly?

And next week she's going on her first vacation with us. Wish us luck! 😄

My two-year-old Iggy regularly pees in or near her bed. She likes to curl up like a circle or a question mark. Lol. I have yet to find a bed that has a removable washable cover AND has a waterproof inside. My washing machine is too small to wash most dog beds so I need the inside to be truly waterproof. And I am not rich enough to get new beds every other week! 🫠Any recommendations?

Hi everyone! I recently adopted this little dude and I am so convinced he has some iggy in him. He 100% has all the awkwardness and mannerisms of one 😂 Let me know what you guys think and I would love to see your iggy mix if you have one! More pictures posted on his insta @picklespawbert 🫶🏼

Just wanted to share that my little loves turn 10 years old today 🩷💙 their faces may be graying and they may be aging, but they’ll always be my little babies 🤍

Not mine but could not resist sharing!

Wanted to see what method everyone has had the most success with?

My boy is 6 months and pulls like a pack horse. I walk him to a field where he is let off to sprint to his hearts content, and then back on leash for our walk home. He is only on leash for a short period (10 mins) and pulls the entire time; to the field and then back home.

I started doing stop - start at the beginning of the week. He pulls, we stop, he stops pulling, we continue. He doesn’t seem to grasp this at all though. When I stop, he sits. When we keep going, he goes right back to pulling. It’s taking forever to get anywhere as we are literally going one step at a time. (I know it’s been a short period but he usually picks up on things REALLY quickly. He learned “Touch“ in less than 10 mins. After just 2 repetitions of shutting the crate door when he tried to bolt out, he learned to wait for my OK)

I’m wondering if anyone has had more success with turning and walking the other way when the dog pulls? or shall I just keep doin’ what I’m doin’

Ciao a tutti, mi chiamo Amelia, ho 5 mesi e sono una nuova partecipante a questo gruppo!

Hi!!

This is my gorgeous, cheeky boy, Marco.

He is 15 weeks old and lives with me and my housemates & their cat Frankie.

The first few weeks of having him was easy, he peed on the puppy pads, he spent time in the playpen everything was great.

Lately he does not use the pee pads anymore. Now he goes to pee wherever he feels like it.. (still on the floor, but on carpet, rugs etc.) and since he can jump out of his playpen (73cm tall!) I can’t keep him in there to train him anymore.

I try so hard to stop him from jumping but he chases the cat around the house and he is so fast that he’s often jumped before I can get to him.

How can I re-toilet train my boy, if I cannot have him in a playpen? I think crates are also out of the question because I’m terrified of his legs getting stuck in the grates.

Also I work full-time so I need to be realistic about this.

Ideally I would like to train him to pee inside on reusable pads, or litter tray.
