baw 4,360 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 The dogs trying it on, it's acting like all kids do. You need to learn to growl no when it does something wrong. If its trying to boss you, I'd take it out on the lead, work on recal etc. if kept in the house don't let it on furniture etc. a lot of small things add up to behavior problems. No need to scruff it about, pin it to the deck ffs bones are funny things with dogs, it's like giving a kid the best sweet in the world, they f***ing love them. Avoid giving it any bones till you've sorted other stuff like recall to 100%. Quote Link to post

Avoid giving it any bones till you've sorted other stuff like recall to 100%. I suppose if the dog lives in the house your going to get food+bone probs , as it little space it wants to enjoy it meal or bone, right bang in the house . that's why I think dogs living outside in there own kennel+run, this situation would never arise . they need there own space away from people+kids at some time in there day. its a shame really any dog got put into that situation in the 1st place , but people will keep bringing dogs into there houses , so this food+bone possessiveness which is natural anway, as got to be done from 9 weeks old, to stop dogs like that lab bitch biting . my brother got bit by Dalmatian years ago [BANNED TEXT] he was a kid, said the pain in his hand was like somebody slamming a door on it a powerful breed like rottie,gsd, bull type must be horrendous when they bite 1 Quote Link to post

brenner 773 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 i had a young 5 month wheaten terrier try take the hand off me for taking a bone off him, i gave him the shaking of a lifetime. he responded by trying harder to bite me, with no luck. i tried it again two mins later , same result. third time he learned not to do it again. i was telling a friend of mine (a long time wheaten inthusiast) and he said the best "the best way to not get bit by a working bred wheaten when he has a bone is to leave him the f**k alone with it ! it was good advise in this particular case as the dog got older and stronger and meaner i didnt try again. this dog was as loyal and as friendly as they come,but nature of the beast i suppose. the point im making is i would approach each type / breed / personality different . i.e i would go easier on a saluki than i would a stronger minded lurcher . i wouldnt think twice about giving a highly driven strong minded dog a good scruffing if he went to grab me for taking food from him. i reckon every dog in your kennell should be treated , trained , repremanded on an indavidual basis depending on their nature 2 Quote Link to post

Just as a matter of interest joe , how did ya house train and has the pup been overstimulated in the house shes in the kitchen alot of the time, sometimes in crate or crate left open, and let out regular for the toilet, there is the odd time she will piss in kitchen but thats more my fault than hers. in recent weeks shes been allowed in the living room more again, this time try avoid playing with her, she will get the odd toy to chew on or she will lie on couch Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Gonna need to keep her off the couch joe, till she knows who's boss. What you mean crate, is she locked in a cage for a good part of the day? Quote Link to post
Joe67 239 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 shes in it through the night because shes chewing everything, if someones in then the crate is left open in kitchen(alot), sometimes leave back door open so she can wonder in and out. Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 You got kids Joe that annoyed the dog as a pup? Or maybe she's like the rest of us, sick of hearing you harp on about the yes vote :lauch: come to think of it, she's a f***ing hero 1 Quote Link to post
