wyvernblade Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 K9: Yep doing that whole "oh you so think you're getting the ball right now, and ZAP, it's gone again!" However the Shepherd nows lands from his lunge at the ball and turns and nips me on the leg! Always the same leg too little bugger, I have one transparently white leg (Thanks to being 3/4 scottish) and my right leg is a nice black, bluish, kinda green colour from the top of my thigh down to halfway down the calf! Hey do you sell bite suits??!!............................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K9Pro Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 In the week I've been doing the drive training, Bella seems much calmer (except when in drive) - does this happen to everyone else's dog?

MonElite Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re spinning and dizzyness that is somewhat the smalles of my problems, but I had to sit down on the grass few times (or more fallen down ) Than try to hide the ball, this is when some of my injuries occured ;) I am now worried about my upcoming razor blade covered in fur.... Ill look like wyvernblade if all goes to plan K9: the constant drive satisafcation breeds contentment... This is very common.. I knew that, but Im still mad about the ripped apart bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonElite Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 When do you get yours? And boy or a girl? soon, very soon. A girl. I have a boy already, the one with no drive that ripped the bed and bit me on my boob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyvernblade Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 LOL!! A male Dobe with no drive? How on earth did THAT happen??!! And I was very sorry to hear about your bed AND your boob! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisymina Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 he twists in midair leap for the ball and 'accidentally' nips me on the way past! My Dobe is inclined to do that anyway - she jumps and nips as she zooms pat - doesn't get me tho as I rouse if she gets too close. And I haven't even read much about prey drive, let alone tried it. I now take the wise path and hide behind trees when she does zoomies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyvernblade Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yes well my puppy has WAAAAY more food drive than he does prey drive at the moment, he's like a black and tan labrador or beagle! Have started using it tho, using bits of food in the same way as you use the toy, which he is responding well too. The TOT program is not advancing past a short sit as he's far too anxious to get to the food! I'm not going to be able to remove his lead for awhile yet..........

snobbybobby Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yup know how you feel Wyvern ... try having a 50kg mastiff decide he wants it and plants two paws right in the middle of your gut ... And I have seen a GSD tear apart a whole room and knock over a fridge to get to a tennis ball thats its prey item. new trick with him I put my knee up and he planted himself right onto it and fell over ... whoops ... embaressing isnt it ... he tried again, knee came up and he hit it again. Sat down, got his toy.{end quote} Would hate to see the results if a child happened to get hold of the desired toy in the dog's presence! The mind boggles. It's a disaster waiting to happen! And, before the elves behind the list bully reply, I rest my case! This list is going from bad to worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a disaster waiting to happen! You are so funny Henrynchlo ;) Well, I await the results! I can just see the headlines now! If you see it as funny, I feel very sorry for you! [b]Have you ever seen the results of a child mauled by a dog???You are pathetic!!![/b]Just because the list bully has had a "go" at me, doesn't make me a laughing stock! I don't value that particular person's opinion one little bit. Get over it, but, please think of the consequences of unguarded prey drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider my comments "stupid"! I read several comments that said the dog mauled his handler in an attempt to get at the prey item - a ball. These dogs, as far as I was concerned, were not AQUIS dogs who, BTW, seem to be, from the picture in a paper media I saw, were trained using a choker! The dogs that were being represented were, seemingly, family pets being trained "in drive"! To my mind this is irresponsible reporting to say the very least! I may, to your feeble minds, appear stupid BUT please remember that the general public also read this list There are far too many incidences of dog attacks reported and children are the main victims.

I read comments of people, including myself, getting jumped on and mouthed - this is not mauling and at no time did I feel uncomfortable or unsafe. In fact I said my dogs and I were having great fun.

Children pounced upon, scratched and, in stronger terms MAULED by dogs who have been teased into prey drive are the innocent victims of ppl. such as the list bully who plants these ideas and don't follow them up in a responsible fashion. Please don't try to engage me in debate again!. I find the people on this thread repulsive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
