@davecb Thanks for your response 😊 In answer to your questions: He was on so many drugs (like 6 a day) that he was drooling everywhere, super spaced out and completely listless. His appetite was completely gone so he had more drugs to make him hungry. My guess is that the balance was not right...

@aaronfrisien Thanks so much, you've helped more than I can say. That's a good question, I'll test that and see if he needs a good sesh to tire him out. My two dashies are lazy daisies but I'll make a point of tiring them out a bit. Great advice!

@aaronfrisien It would have been maybe 3 weeks between meeting the noisy kid and my little nephew. Thanks, that's great advice and I'll definitely give that a go. Bite sized pieces makes perfect sense 😊 I'm also actively trying not to punish but to keep calm and correct the behavior with a...

@holywalk Thanks so much 😊😊

@gd3001 I don't know that I've been pushing him but he has just displayed some great progress so I guess I overestimated how he would be. I just don't want him to be anxious in his own home if we have children so I would like to slowly build his confidence up for when we do have kids.

Hi all, we adopted a 6 year old dachshund (N) a year ago and he came to us because he struggled with kids. His previous owners had a young son (around 3 years old) and N would get so anxious/excited around the child that he would grab the child's clothes (the ones he was wearing), lock his jaw...
