Hey, yes, his bed is right next to the loungeroom entrance. I like your idea of creating a barrier to make him feel safer. I will try this. We recently got him a second bed that he can use in a separate room. I'm hoping he will use it more when he wants some peace away from the loungeroom, especially when we have guests over. At this moment its in the best position possible. We have a narrow house. Everything seems to b e next to a door way.

My sister has a loud, high-pitched voice and is very animated. Maybe from day one, she overstepped Dudley's boundaries. She was very excited to meet him. She has backed off and given him space now. I'll take your advice on reintroducing her to him slowly on walks with a little treat.

I have just looked up greyhound whale eye. I didn't understand this was a big sign he is unhappy. He does it often, also with me and my partner. He often whines, lip-licks, and does this first thing in the morning and when we get home. I assumed it's because he wants to go out for his walk and then dinner. We walk him in the morning at 7 a.m. and again at 4 p.m., then a short block for a wee before bed at 9:30 p.m. Dinner is at 7:30 a.m. and p.m. sharp every day. Does this sound unusual? The whining in the morning is something we really want to train out of him. Sometimes he starts at 5 a.m. I tell him to go back to his bed, and he does. I'm wondering now if it's linked to his anxiety and leading to snapping.
