    It's credit to the dog as a species that more fat fucks like this don't get bitten more often, You can see how trusting the pup is and it's a shame because you can figure out what sort of a individual this guy is from these short moments I know there is always two or more ways to achieve success with a pup but when your first port of call is to inflict pain you can learn very little from the dog and will always be playing catch up to an owner that builds confidence and character in his pup, The manic jumping up is a symptom of over correction, a confident pup doesn't feel the

    I understand what your saying but it takes a giant leap of faith to believe early man even understood it's own reproductive process let alone another species , early dog would have still been breeding uncontrollable with whatever it chooses, The problem been here that it had to be the dog that threw its hand in with man not the other way round , if a bitch had pups who was social with humans , before long the pups would be socialised too

    Believe what you wish , my angle has always been that we as hunters of dogs have more of an insight into the true nature of the canine and what it's priorities are, To downgrade the dog as is commonly done as the campsite shit heap remover is a clear misunderstand of the value of the hound to mankind and a bond forged through sharing the same goal and common socialibility, Happy hunting long may it last, for if we lose it we lose a clear understand of what makes a dog loyal to man as a canine athlete and not as a rat, Best of luck

    What you're doing is looking at the wolf of today as believing it's the same animal that the dog begat from, wolves today are remenence of a creature that has been condemned since the very beginning of the written word and a total social f**k up as far as humans go, I watched a documentary years ago about a young female Scandinavian scientist who made contact with wolves whom had never had contact with humans before and the interaction was striking, the pack of wolves showed curiosity not fear , they hung round and enjoyed her company some of the young yearlings even play bowed , so for me

    100% behind ya on that one,

    I find it hard to conceive and this site is a living testimony to it that the hunt played no part in the evolution of the dog , If we look at the ancient breeds still working today the saluki primarily an animal that becomes social through the very act of hunting with its owner is like having a telescope to look back many thousands of years to understand how canines become social, Since up till a hundred or so years ago our main interaction with the dog involved some sort of hunting related issue otter , fox wolf and deer hounds either hunting or killing prey was what the dog was used f

    Just a question , has the pup ever been confronted for mouthing??What's her confidence like,is she housed inside or out ??
  8. Casso
    Is this pup been kept in the house? and if she is any issues with house breaking ?

    I wouldn't be surprised if that dog had a history of e collar training

    When we react to pups and we usually do by trying to install fear , the reasoning seems to be if the pup fears us they will also respect us, the problem there is we will keep having to reinforce the fear by louder shouting and harsher discipline and the reason for this is that the dog has learned to tune us out in moments of excitement , For a dog to be able to feels us, as in for our voice to be able to resonate to somewhere inside the dog in excited moments as when hunting etc, he has to be attracted to us and a dog can't be attracted to us if our commands are fear based, Manage m

    I can't see the point of scuffing her with the same hand you expect her not to react to when you stick it into the bowl beside her, think about it , Getting to the point now where we're disciplining pup straight out of the crib and expecting them to comprehend exactly why, no wonder so many are looking out through the bars of shelters The bowl + hand equals bad news for the pup, hand feed and for gods sake don't put any more fear into the little mite
  12. Casso
    I wouldn't go down the route of slapping her on this issue, hand feeding is the way to go She is expressing some resistance to you for what ever reason , to overcome resistance I would make her push through the resistance of your left hand to get to the food in your right , just hold your hand on her chest and make her push to get the food in your other hand , done for long enough the pup will eventually push at full force It achieves two things it gives the pup a huge sense of fulfilment and it will overcome any negative resistance the pup holds for you It takes a bit more work th

    The point I'm trying to make is that if these were two entire dogs testosterone would more then likely be seen as the cause with mention to ranking and pack leadership My question would be if a dog has no nads why would he still want to be pack leader with the access to bitch's etc, if you say it's an instinct then why do people believe dogs gravitate towards a leadership role with all the trapping it's brings which is actually a thought process and future foresight, not an instinct
  14. Casso
    Well it's interesting to see that nobody has wondered why two neutered dogs can act so aggressively A few years ago aggression would be see as a symptom of testosterone with all the pack leadership bullshite that goes with it , Is pack leadership a thought process or an instinct ?? Why in this case is there male aggression if neither of them are testosterone driven

    If she was mine, she would only eat while out with a strange dog in the environment , It's a process which makes her reference her gut , the pull to eat outweighs the fear caused by the other dog , in the same way as animals and birds in a hard winter are more likely to come in contact with man and we see creature that usually are too frightened to be seen because of hunger, it's the same principle Leave her off grub for a day , it won't do her any harm, watch how animated it makes her , dogs are far more expressive when they feel a void , on the second day take her out with some really tas

    Different folks have ways of doing things but I don't have any fear of not introducing pups and ferrets by a certain age and I certainly don't like using fear of getting nipped by a ferret as a way of keeping a pup social, dogs become social through the hunt , that means the very act of hunting or ferreting or hawking makes the dog social to whatever elements are involved in the hunt, us, ferrets or hawks , I don't like introducing fear of teeth in a pup at a young age for obvious reasons

    The gun dog has the ability to put the working relationship first ,over the kill To do this , if you think about it means that the feedback the dog is getting through the work the flow of the work with its owner far out exceeds the pull of its prey instinct to kill, much the same way a sheepdog refrains from attacking the sheep , both are displaying prey drive which is a state of harmony the dog tunes to with its owner in both these cases, In the general scheme of things prey instinct is how most animal stay alive, animal sees small animal, animal chases and kills smaller animal

    My farther used to train his dogs to bark on command , it gave the dog a concept of where barking should be done and to do it to a command , it gave them a where and to whom and cut out a lot of unnecessary barking at other times , maybe worth a try I found if you give a wappy dog a good burn out earlier in the day, maybe an hours exercise, I know it's not easy either but it does take the edge of the excitement Best of luck

    If you think about the two processes , shooting and hunting with dogs, the biggest think that stands out in my mind is the fact that running dog can catch and kill on their own, And can do so from a relatively young age 9/10 months ish or younger, and what happens is it limits what's expected from a dog or owner in most cases not all , retrieve and recall , seems to be the primary concerns One of the biggest issues in the lurcher world as is very evident from shelters which are full of running dogs and boils down to the same thing as mentioned is the fact lads think pups are train

    The issue you have is that the chickens activate his prey instinct whereas the training recalls and stop whistle don't have any connection to prey making Your instructions don't activate drive in the young dog the situation is different in an experienced dog who knows through experience that both of you are a partnership and you channel his drive , the two of you working towards the same goal , he flushes you shot and he gets to mouth and retrieve , so the stop instruction in that case is just another avenue to be undertaken to stay working in tandem with you and that's what he wants more

    Dogs are attracted to items in their environment that hold a prey full essence , blood urine faeces both canine and domestic animals hold a special attraction for dogs, pups in particular rabbit sheep horse shit all hold a prey full appeal and ingestion is a form of contact or connection , unlike the shit of an animal like a fox which holds a predator essence but a connection is made by way of making bodily contact , I would guarantee that that if wolves inhabited these isles there shit too would be rolled in The pup will grow out of it once it gets out and figures out what real

    It's an interesting one this on the stop signal because we all come at it from a different angle but hopefully all come to the same result I like to chain the stop signal with a energy expression from a young dog such as a retrieve or another exciting activity so the young dog knows something exciting is following , the dog will want to stop itself, it's impulse control from the inside eventually the signal just stands on it's own and something the dog will do just to work in tandem with it's it's owner A lot of young dogs will have a problem practising control for what seems to be no

    That English team with the belief they have now going into the last few games are going to a mountain to climb for any side going to play them at home, they don't give away much , are well organised and solid in defence, Can't see them getting beaten again this year in the 6 nations..

    You don't really believe a pup eats it's own shit to avoid a bollicking ?? Do you really think a pup has that sort grasp of human thought processes

    Crate him , don't fall out with the pup at this early stage over something so simple to fix
