Maisie's last injection.

Just let's say we got it done.
I sat her on my knee on the way to the vet and put her into Boyfie's wooden
box when we got there because she just has no manners at all whatsoever and
she barked if she thought she could even see a dog and screamed at them and
scrabbled at my lap.
I have no idea why it's allowed, but she isn't mine.

Not much you can do about it. Thank you for making sure she got her
shots.

she is safe for another year but she is so so badly behaved. It's not
really her fault.
All mine were trained, doesn't take long just few months but Maisie isn't
able to walk on a short lead as they let her have a long lead and wander
around.
FGS.
I wish I had her. She'd be taught to walk on a short lead and not scream at
other dogs she does it because she is scared.

I understand. I've only ever had one dog (and one cat, so far) and he
wasn't exactly obedient. Housebroken, yes. Friendly, not really. I
did my best with him but he was a puppy and I was only 21 years old when
my now ex-husband brought him home. At the time I knew nothing about
dogs. I learned enough, but I had to work every day. Still, I was
awarded "custody" of Sampson in the divorce settlement.

Thank you for making sure Maisie gets her shots. That's one thing I
made sure of with my little mutt dog, Sampson (RB, 1999) even when I was
pressed for money.

Such a shame. Well trained dogs are so much happier and nicer to live
with.

Absolutely. She doesn't like me now because when she was biting the front
of Boyfie's box, instead of saying "Ssshhh, ssshhh" in a gentle way like
Claire did, I banged once on the top of box and said severely "Stop that
NOW"
She did. She's never been spoken to like that before.
Which is the whole problem.
She's not been socialised enough either, the poor girl had got so worked up
that she collapsed exhausted on my knee on the way home.
Anyway, it's done.

I don't think there is any excuse for Maisie being like she is except
laziness. My brother watched me train my dog Pollyanna to a high standard of
obedience, so he knows how to do it, he just can't be bothered, and Claire
is simply too kind.
She's their dog, not mine, after all. I will, of course help next year with
getting her to TED for her injections again.
Tigger only gets his because I insist he goes with Boyfie, not because they
don't want to arrange it more because they both work and have three children
of school age who do football and other extra-curricular activities.

Dogs are much happier and secure when they know they've got a strong pack
leader.

Which should not be themselves, and that is just the difficulty here.
Maisie has taken leadership for herself and she is not up to it the whole
thing of being the protector is left to her because she has no leadership
whatsoever.
She was absolutely exhausted when we got home from the vet from ??protecting
Claire??

My brother knows best, of course about his own dog.
I tell you what, none of mine would ever get up on the table and steal from
my dinner plate, nor be a nuisance in the car, nor be other than perfectly
behaved at the vets or anywhere, because I trained them.
With no raised voices or any punishment.
I've never found that necessary.


I will leave Maisie to my brother to rear.

He didn't even tell me that he got her so he obviously wants to do it by
himself, but he's making a bad job of it.
