looking for dog owners

[justine]

Well i am looking for someone who lives in pulteny town area of wick to help me re-socialise our Tank.
He is sociable to our dog and any puppy, but i have noticed since he has been neutered he thnks he is rocky, and seems to have lost that playful attitude. He is non aggressive but he gets so excited when he sees another dog he seems to forget how to say hi politely. So i am looking for someone who has a calm quiet dog who would be able to meet up for walks around bignold park so tank can learn to be more of a social acceptence than a deliquent...He is an 8 mth old staffy, very friendly, so please dont be put off by his breed.. I am doing this for his sake as well as mine so it makers the walks alot more pleasent...
Any help would be much appreciated.. Pm if you can help..Thanks

Good luck with Tank; it's embarrasssing when they don't behave! I'm sure you will meet up with like minded dog owners who will help him to be socialable again. :)

Thanks Torvaig, it can be slightly embarrassing when he starts his whining and spluttering when he sees another dog. I am hopeful that some one will help me with this..

last night whilst waiting for the kids teas to cool, Tank decided to try and eat what was on one of the plates, standing up on his back legs on a lino floor. Oh went in caught him and went OI, at which he spun, dropped and ran into the garden with bingo close behind. He went over going through the door, and has a swollen hind leg..
He is still hobbling a bit today but is putting a little weight on it, but i think the tablets hes on keeps him sleepy enough.. I am dreading if he does not improve as the vet will xray him in a day or too and see if anything has been damaged, but the swelling is recideing so it looks like we have been ok..
One thing i have done now is take out pet insurance on him, I had the thoughts of why bother, he wont need a vet, well how wrong was i.. Luckily the bill was not high as it could have been higher..Touch wood we wont need to claim on the insurance but we now have piece of mind..
