Does anyone have a Cairn that DOES NOT bark when someone is at the door and if so - did you train for this behaviour or is your dog "just like that"?]]> Thu, 09 Sep 2010 10:26:48 +0000 http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11615-help-with-barking-when-someones-at-the-door/ http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11614-dempsy-cousin-trevor-playing-with-wubba/

Dempsy loves it when cousin Trevor comes for a visit. They play all sorts of games. Poor little Dempsy has a heck of a time keeping up with such a long legged hound. Around and around they go. Over, under, up, down, in, out, back n' forth ... whew, Dempsy keeps up but he is more than ready to say good-bye to Trevor. Demps takes a nice long nap and is more than willing to snuggle with you after Trevor leaves. I take full advantage. ]]> Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:45:51 +0000 http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11614-dempsy-cousin-trevor-playing-with-wubba/ http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11613-big-brother-is-watching/

The blur on the left is our old boy Haggis - he was excited to be there and talked up a storm in the box, but after a quick exit he petered out halfway down the course and trotted back to the starting box. At 15, he's feeling his age but still remembers the thrill of the chase. Of course, that's his registered name: Joywood's Thrill of the Chase I'm pretty sure the puppy on the far right is Dundee's sister, Dottie. She was the second winningest dog of the day. She uncorks out of the gate and never lets up.]]> Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:45:39 +0000 http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11612-cairntucky-derby/ http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11611-does-such-a-thing-as-dog-proof-flooring-exist/
Everything I've looked at seems to have some drawbacks; stone tiles are durable & cleanable, but the grout can absorb odors and the tile can be too slippery. (Tile installation might also be too expensive for me!). I've read that Pergo/laminates can have the seams lift up if liquid/urine seeps into the seams.

If I go with one of the above slippery surfaces, I'm open to using inexpensive throw rugs, that can be tossed out & replaced if necessary, but do rugs stay put or just slide around?

I would really appreciate knowing what your experience has been and what recommendations you would offer. Thanks!]]> Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:15:50 +0000 http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11611-does-such-a-thing-as-dog-proof-flooring-exist/ http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11610-observing-other-people-with-their-dogs-in-the-dog-park/ Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:18:19 +0000 http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11610-observing-other-people-with-their-dogs-in-the-dog-park/ http://www.cairnterrier.org/forum/topic/11609-cool-september-morn/

My first clue was that it was barking at the fireworks so I heard it before I spotted it. Max used to bark at them exactly the same way.
