Dog Training

[Herr Faust Schinken]

^ especially adorable ones, like featured in this thread.


man i'm such a softie with my puppers.. they get away with everything.

I'm the same way the problem is my dog doesn't really do anything bad except maybe eat tissues every once and awhile

[Vtec?lol]

Lol "eat tissues."

I was always stern but regardless he would go right back to thinking its play time. I would give him a nice pat on the hind but carefully (I've seen how this can easily injure a dogs hips) he would tuck his ears and tail and just freeze. I hated that. Now when I stare over him he doesn't cowar as much and he will listen submissively.

seriously i don't know why he does it he will grab like napkins and tissues play with them for a bit and then tear them apart, its the dumbest thing but he does it

[Vtec?lol]

My boxer used to eat money. Yup. Left a deposit slip on the table with $300 in it. He ruined all of it. Thankfully, I took it to the bank and they Replaced the money into my account.
But I've lost a few hundred. He's the reason I no longer carry cash. It's a bad habit and I need to get back to keeping some.

Since this thread has hit page 3, and thus I feel I'm not hijacking it (sorry Vtec!) I will pose my situation.

Two female dogs. Elsa (Lab, Shepherd mix), and Bella (Purebred GSD).

Bella is fixed. Elsa is not. Elsa just went though her first heat. During such, she began attacking Bella every time they were together. Every time. No matter what she's doing, Elsa will find Bella and go at it. To brake up the fight, you only need to pull Elsa away. Bella backs down and is totally on the defense.

So, Elsa is coming out of her heat, and we've been keeping them apart. I will take Elsa and put her on a leash and let her see Bella, but she still tries to go at it. Every time. Growling, barking, whining.

What do I do? I was hoping this aggressive behavior would go away, but it hasn't. They used to be best friends. Playing, laying together, sharing food, water, etc. Now you can't let Elsa loose in the same room as Bella.

"Wify" said if Elsa doesn't calm down we'll have to get rid of her, what with a baby on the way. Really want to avoid this as Elsa is my first dog since I was a kid and I am extremely attached. Also we're both really attached to Bella. She's such a good, loving dog and I really can't imagine the house without either one of them.

Cesar Millans of r3v, what say you?
