Many, many years ago I used to take my (I thought)
well-behaved, well-trained dog out on the trail off-
leash.

One evening as it was getting dark she saw
a deer she wanted to chase and took off.

As in gone.

So there we were, wandering around in the dark for several
hours trying to find a dog that could have run 20 or more
miles in the time it took to finally find her.

That was the end of off-leash hiking for us.

It doesn't even have to be an attack for
bad things to happen to your dog.

Well, it's going to take a lot of doing everything
right and frankly a lot of training to make up for
early last week, where someone was walking her
Australian Shepherd cross along the road as we came
up the section of trail that paralleled it.

My dogs went nuts, pulling towards them and
barking their heads off (and they rarely bark).

Ideally I'd be able to park the rig and pull the dogs
around, but even though I had the brakes locked on the
rig they were still pulling it.

So, I knew that if I got off the dogs would take off after her.

I dropped the snow hook, which I've been using as a ground
brake, but it landed prong-side up and that only compounded
the problem because as the dogs were pulling us forward the
snow hook was coming under the rig and the prongs were
inching towards the tires, which would have been shredded
(snow hooks:
http://www.nooksackracing.com/dog_sl...es_hooks.html).

This poor woman was clearly trying to pretend that a team
of four dogs wasn't barking their heads off at her, trying to
pretend that they weren't trying to come over for a visit,
trying to pretend it was just a normal walk down the road.

And in the meantime my dogs effectively
got away with really bad behavior.

So, a friend is coming over today to be an attractive
nuisance on the trails while we work on "on by," and yes,
I was pleasantly surprised when the dogs didn't try to go
visit Tom, standing in the hedgerow.

Nope. No lie. Two thirds=66%. Actually, closer

Aside from being incredibly offensive and self-righteous,
this post shows and absence of knowledge in the differences
in dogs' temperaments, or perhaps a lack of ability to perceive

corrections and discomfort, even pain, were unimportant does
not mean that such dogs do not exist.

What it means is that you don't know as much about dogs
as you think you do, and you surely don't know a damn
thing about Harlan or anyone else's dog here.

I had a Dalmatian that would instigate fights with one
of her housemates; that dog had no fear or anything,
and pain incurred during a fight meant nothing to her.

I know that that dog is not unique, and I'm sure many
people here can tell similar stories. The fact that you,
Alison, continue to say things to people such as what
you said to Theresa about causing her dog to suffer
(at least I guess that's what you meant by "you cause

Bark collars are supposed to work pretty well and a good

There is some controversy about the humane-ness of citronella collars
because dogs' noses are so sensitive. I've tried citronella collars
on our kenneled adoption dogs, and they didn't appear to be able to
figure out the connection between their noise and the squirt.

I don't know that Sibes generally go home on their own; many don't,
or they wouldn't end up in shelters. I don't know if it's coincidence
that one of our permanent Sibes did this and one of our fosters did
too. But I think Siberians *can* find their way home, at least based
on my experience, where Greyhounds apparently usually can't. I don't
know why Greyhounds can't; I guess it doesn't occur to them to use
their noses to sniff their way back home.

Of course, Greyhounds often are several miles away from home by
the time they stop and consider what they're doing. In our case, it
took our Siberian to find our Greyhound. doG knows what would
have happened to Matty if not for Tasha, since he wouldn't come to
us.

If we had known that the vet was going to treat it as MMM regardless
of the biopsy results, we'd never have put Tasha through that.
Specialists are great and all that, but I think he did a lot of tests
just because he could. That internist is gone from our vet's practice
now, and at first I was sorry, but now I'm not so sure. Yesterday I
took Abby the kitty in because I thought she might be hyperthyroid.
She isn't, but she probably has IBD. I asked the vet how they'd treat
it, and he said that if the specialist were there he'd scope her and
then they'd treat with prednisone. Since the specialist isn't there,
he's going to treat with prednisone because she has the symptoms
(she's also 15, and I wouldn't want to put her through endoscopy).

Subject: Fear aggression

While most of my dogs are well-behaved when left alone unconfined,
my Whippets are not, and it is simply not possible to sufficiently
proof' my home from dogs that can jump baby gates and get onto tables
and counters when no one is home.

No, of course they don't do that when we're
home, but they sure do when we're gone.

They aren't really destructive, though my female that enjoys
chewing up plastic, but they're very food oriented, and their
definition of food differs from ours, so they're crated for
their own protection. I've found crate training to be very
useful when a dog is ill or injured and needs to be confined
for medical purposes; and this happens more often than you
might think.

I hate to spoil the image of cruel Americans locking up their
dogs in boxes all day, but, well, it's BS, so there you go.

To the OP: it's very difficult to say what's going on with
your dog without observing him. I've had several very fearful
dogs, one of which had some minor fear aggression when she felt
absolutely trapped, but this resolved on its own as she became
more confident.

If there are specific things which trigger Sunny's fear aggression,
you could work on desensitizing her to those things, but in general,
I think you need either a behaviorist or a very good trainer who
deals with aggression problems.

The owner is the critical thing though - - you set the rules,
you decide what's acceptable, your attitude conveys that to
your dogs.

We currently have two males that really don't get along.

To minimize stress for animals and humans, they are kept separate.

No amount of training or alpha attitude is going to change

other if DH or I is/am present.

I don't know about yours, but all the Siberianswe've had maintain
some degree of aloofness. They're affectionate, sleep on the bed and
all that, but they're always independent. When a Sibe gets clingy,
it's a good indication that something's wrong. As ours age, though,
they become a bit less independent. A couple of weeks ago, Tasha,
who was on the bed, crawled over and curled up right next to me,
almost on top of me, and cuddled.

She was trembling a bit, and I thought she might be about to have
another seizure, but the moment passed. I imagined calling the vet:
"I need to bring Tasha in because she's cuddling."

How bittersweet that you and Duncan bonded more toward the end of his
life than in the years before. He always knew who he loved and
trusted, and when he felt himself failing, you're what he wanted.

Hope you're feeling better.

There are some dogs that will never bite a human under any

Tasha is apparently one of the latter - - she bit my hand
when I closed her paw in a baby gate - - and I don't think
any less of her because of it, nor do I consider it a
reflection on her training. The incident showed us that
that type of baby gate wasn't the best design for use

Heh. Probably confuses the dogs, too. I'll have to keep that
in mind if I have to break up a fight again. Keeping calm is
always recommended, but usually harder than actually breaking
up the fight.

The fights we've had in the last few years are nothing compared
to the ones between the Sibe and Dal (one of the worst things about
their fights was that once you separated them, you had to hold onto
them and be *very*careful, because if they got half a chance, they'd
go after each other again.

The Dal always started it, but Tasha, as you might
guess, never backed down. Anyway, it's easier to
stay calm now because I know the dogs don't have
death as a goal, as they seemed to.

Staying calm also has a lot to do with the dogs'
behavior when you try to break up the fight.

but I'm inclined to believe that the "Wits' End Dog Training

which exercises did you find most helpful?


You know, what I found as most helpful were the magic
words "Good boy, Clyde" and "Good girl, Bonnie". The
dogs do ANYTHING if I just utter these words. I suspect
that they are secretly reading Jerry's posts to rpdb. g


for me, it was the best thing that I could wish for - no
violence at all,


i've been playing at training my own dogs since i was 3-4
years old (probably longer, but my memory has its limits).
in any event, it was long before i'd ever heard of Mr. Howe.
somehow, without the benefit of Mr. Howe's "superior" methods,
i managed not to treat any of my dogs violently.


very easy to apply, and best of all, always gives
wonderful results.


that's untrue. one of his favorite methods (using a shake can
as positive punishment) does not work with either of my dogs.
one ignores it (he's not bothered by loud, sudden noises) and
the other loses all control of her bowels and bladder when
startled by sudden noises/movement. so, like most training
tools, the shake can may vary from benignly ineffective to
downright abusive, depending on the situation.


This is nothing at all like what Jerry says. Really,
shelly, why not READ the manual?


I've read the thing (I refuse to call it a manual), and I can tell
you, based on experience with high prey breeds, that "good boy"
and "good girl" are not particularly useful when redirecting high
prey drive.
