We have had Pooka for a week now and he is becoming more and more comfortable in his new home. The best thing about him is that he came paper trained so it has not been hard at all to get him acclimated to going potty outside. He is starting to eat more and has begun to run around as though he owns the place. So far so good! We went to the vet and got a clean bill of health. We crate him during the day and he cries at the very beginning of leaving him. I have been having a tough time but I am going to purchase a D.A.P plug in that is supposed to calm him down so the seperation anxiety doesn't get to bad. My question is what is there for me to take for mine? I'll keep you all updated as this will be his first full four days being crated.

Spent a fair bit of time today trying to find other pooghan owners to chat with....no luck so far. Snow today! A first time experience for Chance.It was fun to watch him process this new experience! Cautious and looking at me as if to be sure it was safe and I was still with him.We live on 40 acres and are fairly secluded so I was pleased that Chance warned me someone was at the door by barking and growling,yet was well behaved when the person,a stranger to Chance, came in the front entry.He showed no signs of aggression towards this person,just let me know someone was at the door.Chance loves to fetch and play, he has me wondering about doing agility work with him.Has anyone done this with their pooghan? Hope to hear from some pooghan owners! Surely I'm not the only one?!
