Anyone who can help me with my beagle it would be much appreciated, i recently got him desexed thinking his problem was a female dog in heat from our...
I was wondering if anyone has used or uses a Scat Mat? Despite some success with using upside down old car mats (bumpy side up) to deter Dakota from climbing...
Hi Beagles are very sensitive dogs and are very pack oriented. I am sure he is very lonely and naturally wants to be with his family. A dog banished to the...
... Hi Kimberly, I did try using a Scat Mat to keep Callie out of my guest room since she was able to leap over the baby gate. After receiving a mild shock she...
WOW! You have a smart dog, lol! Today was my first day using the Scat Mat on the floor next to the kitchen table and going up the wall to the window sill....
Hi Kimberly, I've heard good things about the scat mats...however if you need to buy several of them to cover a larger area they might be quite expensive. I...
Thanks for the suggestions! I did buy a Scat Mat on Sunday... and yes, they are expensive... I think it was about $80 (argh). But I live in a small apartment...
... Wow, very impressive. :-) I have used scat mats for Casper, since I can't crate him. He likes to munch on books, and has chomped into bottles of bleach,...

Hi Kate and Welcome We all feel/felt your pain so hopefully we can help you and your pup. Your dog sounds like he is very stressed and unhappy which in turn...
My home is a virtual maze of baby gates and scat mats. I love them. They have saved my life. Once your dog is trained to them, you can buy dummy mats much...
Great idea to use dummy mats! It's only been two days, but so far so good. Dakota hasn't even attempted to climb on the window sills or kitchen table. She...
Thanks. I had originally wanted to try that idea, but my husbands not to sure of it, thinking that it would spoil him even more and he will get worse,...
Well - we've had a huge change with Sidney (for the better)! We decided to try keeping the crate in our bedroom instead of the living room, as he sleeps at...
It is always hard for me to leave my dog at the vet but sometimes (like in this case) it is for their own good. I don't let them spend the night there though,...
Being that I am an owner of 2 beagles myself, I have to agree that they are definitely pack animals. They are often little cuddle butts and do not do very...
Well, I am assuming that the set back was caused by me, a couple weeks ago I had to run back down to the basement after kenneling the dogs to grab something I...
Poor Spencer and You too!!! It's very frustrating when set-backs occur. My initial thought is to maybe have a refresher training course for Spencer but he...
Jennifer, Do you allow Spencer to have his kongs outside the crate as well as inside? Or does he only get them when he's inside? Does anyone have any thoughts...
Kongs are in the crate only. The same thing with the treat ball and the chicken strips. I have had to start feeding him before I leave for work because he is...
Hi Kate, Welcome to the group. I'm usually a lurker here but I did want to offer my sympathy for you and your poor dog. Luckily, my Dillon doesn't track...
I agree, I would not separate my dog from me at any time by leaving him outside. You won't spoil your dog any more than you'd spoil a child by letting them be...
Thank you! I am feeling better just by reading the emails because at least I know I am not alone. Sammy is back on his antidepressant and it seems to be doing...
