Dog Problems

If you having dog problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
 
Love the dog tails!. Anyway some interesting smartalec and funny replies. I love Dr3-D's pics and Angela gives me a little hope.And SUZANIMAL's LOL LOl as usual.

M H is beginning to realize he needs to be more assertive with the dogs. Which is good. Cheer's to dogs. I love them.
 
Well the dogs have mostly worked out stuff between them but new dog killed two of my neighbors chickens. I usually stay out side with him when he is out but on that day I got a phone call and was distracted and he went after neighbors on his rampage. He is worse that A 2 Yr old I can't turn my back on him for a minute. I am considering getting an invisible fence. for now I am keeping him tied out for a little while when I am home and bring him in when I leave and take him for lots of walks.

I have never had a problem teaching my dogs to stay in their yard. This pup is very much a challenge But I would love any helpful hints anyone might have for positive non cruel methods.
 
Dammit the new dog killed 2 of my neighbors chickens when I went into the house to answer phone. For now I am tieing him out in driveway and bringing him in when I leave house and at nite I also bring him in with me to hang out and take him for several walks on a leash.

I am not able to put in fence at this time so I am going to have to train him to stay in yard. My dobermans have always stayed in their yard with no actual training they just seem to know. I am hoping to be able to appeal to his doberman side. Any helpful hints and humor will be gladly considered.

"Cruel" is a human idea.....

Another dominant dog will roll a pup, biting it on the muzzle in order to correct it.

I don't believe in striking a dog but I will jump on top of one and physically subdue it.

Once dominance is established a mere growl(or other consistent vocal correction) is usually enough to reign in poor behavior.
 
Just a little update on my chicken killer. I hated to have to do it but I got a shock collar and put it on him for a day I set the shock pretty low and the first time he backed off my neighbors yard. Then latter in the day he went back over and I shocked him when he stepped foot in the neighbors yard and he just kept going I advanced the set to twice as much juice and he still kept going the collar has 1-100 settings I had it set on 5 then I set it up to 10 when he did not back out of neighbors yard and he kept running I advanced to 20 and he kept going then I set it on 50 and he kept going then I got a little pissed an put it on 65 finally he yelped and went home. I haven't put the collar back on him since that day but we discuss it in front of him and he seems to get the drift. I did not like shocking him but he just had to understand he has to stay out of the neighbors property. Most of my neighbors are well armed and will shoot a dog that is chasing their live stock.

He will still run the border of their yard but, he won't get near her chickens. Her cats however do run up into our yard and both dogs will chase them and catch them if they can. There is not much I can do if the cats come in our yard it is their yard after all it is their yard.

The male has calmed down a lot but the female still growls at him and then turns around a plays with him so she is just what she is: a bitch...
He is going to be a great dog I think. He is very regal If I could I would post a pic of him but I would have to load my personal shit up on some website so I can post a link and I ain't going to do it. I don't like the invasion of my stuff by photo sharing sites.
 
I've got the solution:

Send it to me and i will post it for you.
 
Alpha role is pre-emptive display of aggression that is not in self defense. It doesn't end well.

.

i am not convinced that a pre-emptive display of aggression isn't self defense. For example, I suspect walking around with a holstered weapon visible would deter potential attackers.

Or make you the first one to be shot when something goes down.

It's nearly impossible to contain a cat, they don't recognize property lines. But dogs can be trained to leave the cats alone. If I had to, I would use the shock collar for this purpose, because chickens are just livestock, but cats are companion animals just like dogs.
 
If a dog gets hyped up enough, he won't care about the shock collar. I know a big lab/collie who will stare out the window watching a squirrel dig around in the yard. He sits there staring contently, but in his head he is thinking how dare that squirrel set foot in his yard just a few feet outside the shock radius. He knows that damn squirrel is watching him and laughing at him. This squirrel thinks he can just hop around out there in the open without repercussions. Oh, there will be repercussions indeed! I open the door and he sprints toward the squirrel, who looks up at the barking dog and runs away, further outside the shock radius. The dog yelps when he hits the boundary but does not slow down at all, as he is right behind the squirrel, and could almost snap at his tail. One big hop and the squirrel has made it safely to a tree, and the dog turns around and runs back in the house.

Another dog I know figured out how to get his shock collar off and buried it.
 
We used to have a dog who had chicken problems. She ended up spending most of her life on a run, until she was too old to kill a chicken. After some years, we let her off the run, she ended up back over there with the chickens, but she was no longer a danger because the chickens fight back. She was also very jealous.

The collar I have is not connected to a fence. I put it on him to keep him out of the neighbors yard not keep him in our yard. He realizes where our property ends and neighbors begins. He has also learned to associate going outside with his staying in his yard. If he goes out of his yard he goes on the hook he doesn't like being on the hook so he stays in his yard like a good boy.;)
 
Some folks speak dog well, others never do learn....:confused:

Give your ol' man the knowledge, if he uses it good if not let him be submissive....

What self-respecting woman could live with herself, knowing she hitched up to a bottom?
