JPTfellterrier 65 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 bascerville without a doubt, i have one for my lurcher who can one day be a nut job (not with people just other dogs and any animal accept sheep, cattle and horses)one day and fine the next. cloth muzzles can be dangerous as the dog can't pant, i personally think they shouldnt be sold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAIN MAN 277 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 We use a plastic mesh type one! real strong as we have used the cloth ones but are no use at all, not sure of the make though.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope the dog behaves but I have never seem a dogs behaviour improve by having its nuts ripped off.

Wasn't trying to have a go just saying that in my personal experience the only problem it solves is he wont make puppies if you a have a bitch in the house. I used to have a lab that was fine before but had him done to keep the wife happy. Cut his food by 75% and he still got fat. I really hope it does work though as your mum is doing you a favour taking your dog and its not nice if the dog is upsetting her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k99yle 53 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Put an electric collar on the dog. When he growls at her get her to fry the f****r. He wont take long to calm down.

JPTfellterrier 65 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi, just realised your in sheffield, if she needs a hand or any tips with becoming the pack leader give me a PM....two basic tips, dogs lives revolve around two things excersice and food and if she can control both of those things then she will be the pack leader...anyhoo PM me for more details Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 13,253 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Growling kick the fuuckers head in. forget the nuts off save ya money and get a shock collar like somebody already said. If that don't stop him no6 should do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,543 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Having his nuts off won't stop your mum being soft with him and letting him dominate her. If one of mine growled at me i'd make sure it knew who was boss Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If one of mine growled at me i'd make sure it knew who was boss same as that, my fell tried it on the other day. hard work for your mam judge, if the dog doesnt learn the status quo quickly its big enough to hurt her, suggest you should rehome to an experienced owner before the situation gets any worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
