Ive quoted the above persons message from 2009
Im hoping the OP is still on this site! Im wondering how you got on with your dog and pigs?
Im not looking to introduce them but i have the pigs in the front room and currently have a baby gate on it to not let the dog in. but after work i feel bad leaving him again after being on his own all day, as he cant settle down in the living room

Im having EXACTLY the same issue with my new chihuahua cross jack russell (we think as he is a rescue) roughly 2 years old.
Its only been a week but we have tried bringing him in to the front room on a lead. as soon as the piggies move he instantly focuses on them and launches for them.
ive tired the 'distracting' technique but he looks away the straight back at them... Ive tried letting him off the leash to try and feel more comfortable to walk about and sniff around the cage but he nudges the cage and claws at it (hes tiny and can barely see over the cage) and he even hopped on the sofa and into the cage!! but luckily the pigs went in their house and he couldnt get them... i feel like that was the last straw for me. I didnt want a dog my bf did and he loves this little dog but i dont feel like he will ever be able to settle. its only been a week though so i guess i need to be patient, which is difficult for me as i feel we are spending more time apart because of the dog!
any help would be appreciated... i dont want to say to my bf its me or the dog!! as i couldnt say that to him about my pets... though he does say the gps were here first so its my choice :/
