Hi we picked up a beagle cross last Monday at the home. Bailey is curled up on the couch (a bad habit but we working on one habit at the time) He never learned how to play without being rough and gets easily over-exited. He is a loving dog and is scared of most things on his walks, sitting down and refusing to walk if he thinks he has gone to far away from home. The best decision we made was coming to the home, he is hard work to fix his bad habits but we think he is worth it.

They are always worth the effort.
I have four at home and each of them has their little bad habbits, but they also have their own little characters too. Wouldnt be without them.
The love they give you back is sooooo worth it!

He so sweet when he sleeps, head tilted in your lap as you stroke his ears. Bliss for both of us.

Hi,
What a lucky boy. Dogs on sofa are fine unless they have issues when you want them to get off!
Enjoy him!
Regards
Caroline

He is fine when he gets down, it's only when you sit next to him and he wants more room then he gives you a kick to make you move over. Teaching him to be calm when he gets home is the only problem. We ignore him untill he settles down. He is just so happy that he wants to play but he has never learnt how to play without nipping like a puppy but he is a big boy now. He is improving everyday but it will take time.
