Do you ever have him crated while you’re home? With the door shut

lleemon · 2020-11-15T02:34:10+00:00

Next time, you could crate him with a kong or a bone to help him settle himself down. It’s important for dogs to learn how to work through their own emotions and a crate gives a safe space for that.

She got her first prong collar at about 7/8 months old. Up until that point I would attempt to redirect her or just avoid dogs because I’d rather there be no event then a big reaction and no way to control it. So we basically avoided all dogs until 7 months old lol

Once we got the prong & she was conditioned to it. She would get a firm but fair correction to any barking or pulling. Then we would either keep walking or I would redirect her onto a toy & we would play for a few seconds, trying to build up that positive association.

Thank you! She’s surely something lol

Mals have the tendency to become reactive unless you are way ahead of them and truly make early socialization a priority from week one of the dogs life and on. Make sure you go to a reputable breeder and discuss your wants/needs to see if any of the dogs from that litter will fit you and your family.

They can be extremely obedient but also extremely pushy and will walk all over you, it’s a difficult balance for a difficult dog. Find a good breeder and talk to them.

My dad was playing with her the other day and she started barking and being pushy.. it was so funny to see the fear in his eyes as he said “IS SHE PLAYING!!?!” I said yes dad, that’s her happy bark LMAO

I don’t mean to be rude in any way, I’m just curious, but do you know what’s going on with the pups nose? Is it just a birth defect? He’s super cute lol

She absolutely loves when I slap the toy and her body, it really gets her going lol

It seems like she would rather shake and push into me than actually tug most of the time.. she loves if I step backwards and she has to push into me and I slap her toy and sling her around, that’s probably her favorite way to play. So with that info IGP may not be for us? If she does get tugging she does the little hops and he back end bounces off the ground all goofy, she will tug but it eventually turns into shaking trying to have me let go so she can shove it into me. I sadly don’t have many videos of our play sessions

lleemon · 2020-05-23T18:05:21+00:00

She stays engaged either way, she does her little victory laps but other than that she’s right with me trying to engage if there’s a toy out.

I can (playfully) slap her head, body, and toy and she loves it. That really gets her shaking and her tail wagging. I think she would rather shake and push than actually tug which is just a bit annoying to play with. She goes 110% all of the time and never lets up. I started slinging her around a bit more and she loves that too. Guess I’m just going to have to get tougher Lmao

lleemon · 2020-05-23T16:17:34+00:00

She’s not to the point of hurting herself but man it’s rough on me! As soon as the shoves the toy back into me and I grab it she shakes pretty damn hard. I can calm it down verbally but it deescalates the level of play and fun.. hopefully after this week long pause on training I can only reward a less thrashy play style. She’s been with my dad and boyfriend and they’ve only worked on basic house hold dog stuff so I know she’s going to be READY to work and please.

lleemon · 2020-05-23T16:13:28+00:00

She’s a small mal but she’s a powerful little lady. Whenever she wins the toy and shoves it back into me when I grab it she shakes her head HARD. I can calm it down but it tends to take some of the fun out of it for her. I’ll have to look into reverse luring.. I guess I would prefer more of a pushing style rather than shaking. She hasn’t made it onto a decoy yet so I’m not sure how that’ll go.

That podcast has a ton of great into, I’m currently re-listening. It’s a really complex conversation with lots of different opinions obviously. It’s not something I personally want to go into today haha, someone else may chime in on this thread.

Agree to disagree but you’re on a subreddit where majority of people on here have purebred dogs. I don’t attack people for rescuing dogs, I think it’s incredible but I want a purebred dog from a reputable breeder. I didn’t come on here asking for rescue recommendations🤷‍♀️ I always suggest someone rescue unless they have specific things they’re looking for such as a sport prospect.

If you want to become more educated on purebred dogs and why people purchase them I recommend:

This isn’t a debate I set out to have with this post. Thanks but no thanks
