QUOTE (Spiderusalem @ Nov 8 2007, 01:34 AM)  True. I'm sorry about that. My message got lost in translation (and my sick sense of humor) what I was trying to say is..... Nothing would make my christmas more than finding love  A worthy sentiment Spider, and much better expressed than your previous attempt ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (Animosity @ Nov 8 2007, 12:31 AM) May I recommend, a chocolate lab. The one I have is so amazing, I love him so much! Playful, gentle, guardian. It really has all the qualities you could want in a pet. Totally agree Animosity - sadly only ones that came up recently were gone long before we got there, despite costing 500Euros each! My wife has had Labs (usually black) since she was little. Keep being offered Rottweiler, Pit Bulls and German Sheppard puppies  . Definite 'no' to those.Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

My wife has had Labs (usually black) since she was little. Keep being offered Rottweiler, Pit Bulls and German Sheppard puppies . Definite 'no' to those.Cheers, Tony Pit Bulls, I don't trust them. I once stayed at a friends home whom had a friend who had a pit bull. I was scared of the dog and it was scared of me for some reason that probably only the dog knew. I never was afraid of a dog before but this one was, not threatening really but... it didn't respond well.. don't know how to describe it. My ex gf had a dog that was a cross breed who was kind of the same when she got cancer (the dog that is), that came to a point when the dog acted irrational and was unpredictible. ...short story - I, me and my ex gf actually, was "dog-sitting" for 4-5 weeks once, a german shepard who was a nervous wreck. (most of the time locked up alone in an apartment and for the rest of the time yelled at). We took it out for long walks, tried to unleach it but it ran away and was gone for hours and hours. It really needed a lot of work (and love) this one, pissed himself all the time and lied on the floor trembling for the upcoming punishment (which was not for me but I guess the owners had some method). Other times just being nervours, running around in the apartment withput a plan. All we could do was sit and wait for it to get hungry and return home. And a day later it managed to slip out the door when we got a visitor who opened and stepped inside so the same story repeated itself. Next time I took it out to the woods. Released the dog and let him run for a while. Then I called it back. Just started at me. Called again, got nothing. I'm no dog-knower at all, never read a book or anything and wasn't even interested in owning a dog though my ex had one at her parents. Thought to myself, what would be the wort thing that could happen to this dog right here right now. To be driven from the pack, where I was supposed to be the alfa male... which I assumably wasn't since my pack (the dog) didn't listen to me. And be aware this was after some time of problems with wet floors, runaways and more and more and more. I picked up a hand full of pines, called for the dog to come, got nothing, started to yell at the dog to go away and threw a pine at him. Now at least I got it's attention. Startled at first, more pines flying and the dog started to approach me. I held out the leach, got nothing. Threw more pines, he was trying to approach but I threw more. Had to show who was boss and that he wasn't welcome. I think we got to a point where I became leader and I noticed he was not going to attempt to approach anymore, of fear of the pines flying and not feeling welcome. Fine, now I was in charge, my flock had distanced itself from me and was for the moment feeling he had no belonging. I held out the leech and viola... he came, sticked his head into it and followed me to the car without stretching and fighting the leech one bit. And I tell you, from that moment I could take the leech of at anytime, he would never run off. And if he ever went to far, he'd come when I called. And I was happy to see this dogs life changed from being a wreck into a strong stand up dog. The following weeks until the real owners returned we had a great time with lots of play, cuddle, exercise and practice. The day they came to pick their dog up I felt very sad and it stung a bit to see him greet them so happily - I thought to myself what the heck does he do that for, they will only ruin you again. Two weeks later me and the ex went to their home and I was greeted by the dog, then he pissed the floor and went hiding beding the fridge. A week later they asked us if we wanted him. We thought about it but we said no. Living in an apartment and her dog was at her parents house because we didn't have time to come home once or twice a day to walk it and serve lunch so we knew it would be fair to the animal. Better maybe but not good enough, so relatively speaking it would have been better but not up to the standards we'd like. We had manage dog-sitting during the summer when we were free, but with work to go to, no. Shortly after I heard they put the dog away. Nothing wrong with it really, just badly treated (not enough love and care, too little exercise, yelled at a lot by tired owndes) so it didn't feel fair. A bunch of BS to most of you maybe, I just wanted to share an episode where I feel I failed. Not that I never fail but this caused another life to end so this still nibbles my mind though it's been 15 years or so  And sorry JVM for rambing in your thread. -------------------- My bands homepage

Great story MickeM,
my wife uses the 'dog whispering' method of training and much of what you did is the same. Sort of about seeing the dog as part of a wolf pack and you as the alpha like you said and then getting and keeping control/dominance. Bit like your story - we've been offered a Dalmation that behaves like the German Shepard in your's. We've said no as we don't think our other animals (cats and rabbits) would cope well with a nervous dog. So we're still looking...
