Run Free Littlies :rolleyes: Sorry to hear this peibe

My dog's not aggressive towards people (just a little warey sometimes), but I had a lady at the dog park ask what the point of owning a dog is if he can't be safely around other dogs. She didn't mean any harm, but it hurt a lot to think about it that way and I burst into tears on the walk home. So I don't think saying that kind of thing is constructive at all. There's no such thing as a perfect dog so it's not up to someone else to judge if it's "worth" putting up with an issue as everyone has different levels of tolerance for different things. I'd love my dog to not be aggressive, but since he doesn't pull clothes off the line, bark much, hump things, get anxiety, cause problems at the vet or chew my shoes I figure he's not all bad! It does no good at all to focus on the negatives as it gives you less motivation to work towards positives. I agree with you here, I also love the fact you mentioned " No such thing as a perfect dog" but I have to keep reminding myself every day I would also draw the line at human aggression, only because I'm having a hard time with a DA dog, so I wouldn't know where to begin with It, but also on the same hand I'm not In that position, so who knows If I was It If that would change my decission? Amhailte, you give me hope Would you like to swap dogs

Thanks heaps for the input :p Yep, I've been reading on what some of the other clubs do with DA dogs, also a differant coloured lead would work, unfortunately this one I went to, doesn't have any of these things implemented. It's an obediance club, and It was my first time, so I haven't paid any membership yet, I was to decide on the day on wether I'd like to join, If I was happy with It all. Once I was told no muzzles, I wasn't comfortable pushing the issue, which I know I probably should of. Agree, really was not expecting that to happen Thanks, I'm going to need It! Agreed, I need her to have her space and not have to worry every second about other dogs getting too close In a way to me It does give the dog a bad image, but It's because of my stance on BSL and how restricted breeds are made to wear them regardless of whether they need to or not, I am all for them when Its necessary, I hope that made sense ;) Seeing a muzzle on a dog that doesn't need It doesn't do the dog justice! Thanks for the encouragement We will persist with home training, till something suitable is found

I recently tried to take one of my girls to obediance training, I told them that my girl was DA especially to other female dogs, and I wanted to use a muzzle, till I felt more comfortable with her behaviour and hopefully that she would get better as time progressed, but I was not allowed to , one of the trainers said that It'll give her a bad image, I can understand that, but I'd rather be safe safe than sorry. As It was I already had an off leash dog run towards us, and I literally Sh!t myself, but luckily managed to avoid anything happening. I was very nervous and found It very uncomfortable being there, basically we just sat back at a distance and watched, but I don't think I'll be going back. So Is this a normal policy of dog clubs not wanting dogs muzzled?? Thanks

What an amazing guy and his love and dedication for his best mate People like this make this world a nicer place http://www.spokesmanreview.com/blogs/video....asp?postID=238

Thanks K9, will do

Yeah, I have Jen, Thanks!

Oh, Me Me Me Pretty Please

Na she's just a very Dominant bitch :p

I'm interested to! Although I would probably need to muzzle my girl

Thanks for the Input guys I also thought he had made some good points to work with, as you said Jesomil, probably not needed for many dogs, but ones with leadership problems I think could benefit from It. I have a stuburn dominant female who has risen well above where she's meant to be (My fault I am way to soft! ) and was thinking to give this a go, problem Is I have 4 other dogs, and not sure how to go about It whith the others? How do I treat them in front of her?, do I interact with them in her presence? She will have her own enclosure, so will be seperated for some time, till I can trust her again around other dogs, as she Is now being aggressive towards them :D I am hopeing that It will be possible later for her to have some interaction with the rest of the pack. Any ideas, I would greatly appreciate It Thanks PS> When funds are more readily available I was also thinking of seeing K9 for help

Hi, Am interested to know if anyone has ever used this method with any of their dogs?? If so with what results? From the Leeburg Dog Training Site! http://leerburg.com/pdf/packstructure.pdf Thanks

Bless him alright, he's such a fighter **HUGS** to Ollie and Lucinda
