So sorry, Griff . He was a beautiful boy... may he run fast & free.

;) have a read here LINK ...posted on another forum today ...

No licking here - anywhere. As kids we always let dogs clean any cuts/scratches

No .. suscreen I tried for a while - that didn't last .

had one of my koolies tattooed .. he had a pale leather/pink snout. Ddidn't help.

I have always worked with/around dogs ..but prefer , as a house companion, cats Their personality calms me and suits me .I love their self sufficiency ..and their fluid movement , their purr , and their way of communicating .

tend to agree with you . Getting it checked out to rule out a cancer is a wise move .

Hope things are OK this morning ....

meeeow

LOL!! :D

Vet now. That's an awful lot of dry to swell up in a gut...

Did you look closely? The flea may have been faking it , until you left the scene! ;) Oh! I know!! It was the only flea.........and died of loneliness Laughing with you, not at you ;)

Hi There is explanation/info here which might help you understand . Good luck with choosing your puppy! LINK

How? Because the injury was given by the object being chased? Because I am sure the injury was much more shocking and painful than a leash correction given by the average dog owner? Because the injury happened out on the road , in direct contact with the car/person being chased? Because there was no owner attached to the dog to take the dog's attention off the immediate after effect? I'm sure someone will have technical terms for it ..

Kippy those examples you gave are different from an owner giving a leash correction.

R I P Nelson .. your owner has set you free.

Fox terriers are quite a lot bigger than a jack russell/tenterfield .. so that may be a consideration too .Does your OH want a small dog , or one a bit bigger?

and altho it still hates kids, it is prevented from lunging ..You haven't taught this dog to see kids in a different light - you've not stopped the aggression, just stopped the action.Dog was corrected for the action, not the thought/feeling

I would never ever implicitly trust a dog to not run across a road. never. Dogs near roads are always leashed and under my control. The attacking a child bit - that's a lot to do with socialisation when young, and once again, never say never . there is no way you can be 100% sure that an accident won't happen.

;) Interresting typo! I sympathise with ursus.. having done the 'right' thing and engaged behaviourists and a 'coach' only to still have the dog PTS. However.. Ursus, you have a new ,completely different little puppy now ..a sponge, ready for a happy and relaxed life , and probably a breeze to train using a method selected for you and her by someone experienced and perhaps recommended by folks on this forum. There have been many problems solved, and many new dogs successfully grown & trained using methods you seem unsure of . Maybe as part of your research , arrange to meet up with some trainers, and see what they can do? The more practical info you have under your belt, the more likely you are to choose the best training method for this little pup

Could well be a hormonal thing then

I felt sorry for that poodle pup ...it seemed it was interacting with the leash, not the person.

Take care - drive carefully .
