Very nice bitch mate i don't think shock collar is the way to go with her i think you just gotta give her time.

Maybe use her on the long rope system show her your the boss and when you say no it means no

Your problem probably lies in the fact that the dog spent the first six months of its life stuck in a garden with no socialisation or interaction during such an vital period in its life. If it were mine I'd get down the local dog club and get it used to basic obedience, you may know all the basics but its about socialising the dog and mixing it with other dogs and people. Traning the dog at home is great but at the club the dog will improve in manners and confidence and the distractions faced at the club will cement your obedience.

SO ITS NOT THE BULL IN IT THATS TO BLAIM????

NOT DOWN TO INSTINCT??

[reddog70 236]

i think simoman hit the nail on the head not the breeds in its makeup but poor early socalization but with work on this improvements should be able to be made

Stay away from SHOCK COLLARS,,,I tried this with a pure bred English bull terrier,and it went absolutely crazy(which is completely natural considering its getting an electric shock through its neck) :wacko: hope ya find a soloution to the problem

It worked for my dog mate and i got the idea off a very good dog trainer give it a try what you got to lose

Don't use an electric collar for this - the problem is the dog is likely to associate the zap with the dog it's pinning and may become more aggressive as a result.

My dog used to be similar - he hadn't been socialised much at all and was 2 by the time I got him. It took a few months of introducing him to various breeds of dogs in a varitey of situations for him to get more steady. The other thing that helped was working on his bond with me - the more confident and trusting he got with me, the better he behaved with other dogs. It took a while for him to realise he didn't have to be responsible for everything and that I'd deal with it.

No bull in my dog at all by the way.

my first dog came from the pound been in there since she was a pup she was the same.

came good in the end but was very pack orinated loved alpha male types but not submissive dogs

or other bitches ,best advice get recall spot on,make sure she knows whos boss but most

important don;t get her spayed till shes quite a bit older.good luck she looks a beauty

cracking looking bitch............................. basic obedience and socializing should help..............she clearly has got alot of prey drive, and this is a good thing if shes destined for a working life........................ she just need to learn what and not what to srew into the ground!

 

Electeric collar could knull this prey drive, if she thinks she gonna get zapped everytime she pinns something

What a cracking looking bitch. I had a plummer terrier a few years back that would do the same as your bitch, nasty little sod it was and very cocky. Untill it seen mister red and came back out probably as fast as your bitch can run. I cant offer much help but as whats been said above sociallising or lack of it as a pup is guaranteed to be the cause. Good luck with her she's a real smart type.
