He's at an age before sexual maturity and at his age he has no real compulsion because maturity brings drive with it, i would be dumbfounded if at one year old he was still acting in the same manner, drive brings its own working intelligence with it , as the man said no confrontations or harsh words, encourage physical contact and trust in the pup the ability is in there it just needs time ,

the behaviour of the dog is just a print out of the relationship, every bad mannered pup outside will come when called inside because normally there is something in it for the mutt, somewhere in your relationship with the dog there's a kink in the works, could be confrontation in the past, or interactions with the pup are just not generating any interest for him, whatever it is you need more positive interaction, play is ideal in bridging problems relationships, have the pup coming into your space more , handfeed the pup im not talking about treats here , make him work for his dinner make

Honest looking dog there bud, like his composure,and how they love their tennis balls, nice little tally for the night

just a tip with the heeling bud , try making the heeling mean something to the dog and not just an exercise that stands on its own, i use heeling as a prelude to something exciting happening for the dog, it changes how the dog perceives the exercise, you'll get a quicker response from the dog if the exercise is chained with an exercise the dog really likes before launching a dummy for the dog make it heel, that way the focus will be completely on you and the potential for excitement in the following exercise , give the command, get a really good heel from the dog what will follow t

cant agree with that Penny, carrying around a 5/6 week old pup when it should be with its litter mates learning how to make its way socially in a canine world would be my first priority, there are many dogs who are never socialised at all but many make clean social friendly pets at the end of there racing lives like the greyhound, my brother rehouses many who are never out off the paddock for months as pups but learn how to get on with other canines and people just fine,

the way to resolve fear is through creating a desire for something else in this case it would have to be through the hunger circuit as the pup is too young to be affected by drive, a system that can be used with older dogs, if we look at the natural world its through hunger that most animals come into contact or make themselves seen to man, think about it everytime a little bird feeds he put himself at risk from a hawk, its hunger that forces a rabbit from its hole to feed where danger is all around, its fear is been overpowered for the animal to feed and the reason for this is that an

your understanding of canine body language must be quiet something, over the net but i dont believe a dog suddenly decides to become anti social every pup is born social, its whatever happens between that early stage where it will come to any sound you make to the stage where the pup deciding to disobey commands later on is a case of the the owner not quiet grasping want needs to be done or in a lot of cases withheld, if we are able to follow on his progression in every stage of development from food in the early stages to later drive as the pup sexually matures and make ourselves the

Duran would have chewed him up and shat him out,,

im not sure what exactly you cant grasp, akita's are doing just what it say's on the packet they are aggressive and mistrusting by nature , the difference between them and other guarding breeds is that other breeds were originally bred to take instruction in their line of work , what it breaks down to is that their are a lot of large aggressive breeds out there but most will break down in instinctive patterns when making contact , with bull breeds the mouthing or grasping is paramount , they have a load/unload approach , they were breed to kill on their own , they get loaded up by the sigh

i understand what the last poster is getting at to a degree but without establishing a real trust as our foundation for a working relationship what we do after with the dog when the going gets tough will be affected by the shaky footings in the relationship, my first point of call in judging the relationship is contact, its a big tell, far too many working dog owners working off pet dog trainers template especially the jumping up issue granted pet dog owners dont need to work hand in paw many hours a day and resolve issues through discipline and dominance's, from a working point of view

dogs are continuously programmed to achieve something, hunting dogs do this by way of hunting, we know this because driven dogs dont need to be thought to hunt they just need to listen to commands to achieve it , the trick is to give the pup a sense of achievement in its dealings with us, basically if we analyse the internal workings of a dog we would find tension is its main motivator, its driven internally, external objects just become ways of relieving tension and it dont really matter what those objects are , take protection work for example those dogs whom herded sheep for hundreds o

i think we should look at this problem from the dogs angle, 1 whatever we do with a pup becomes irrelevant after the drive stage of development because the pup is looking at the world through a different set of lenses, he is much more attracted to things , movement in particular , the onset of sexuality changes everything in the pups , things he seemly knew before are construed as forgotten, he may still act for treats and such but his overriding force is attraction to energetic object be it people , animals , movement , 2 breaking to stock usually goes something like this, dog looks
-
the reasoning behind leaving training till older is because drive and sexuality are intertwined, drive is what makes a dog attracted to its prey and that real attraction doesn't happen till a pup reaches that stage, a pup will work for treats but he wont have the ability to harmonise with you unless drive is involved, Your right there is no written law but foxhounds obey commands reinforced through the whip, prey instinct can become the overriding force in a pups make up meaning if encouraged to chase too early it lays down concept for a pups approach to work(completely stimulated by insti

did it cause offence or something ?? i'm lost for a reason, mods pm me would you, please

does anyone know where the thread is??

Why are ya bother what anyone else thinks about the mutt, its not about anyone else its about you, nobody has the perfect dog bud

this is a typical example of emotion in equalling emotion out , the attack was emotion going into his system the aggression with other dogs is it working itself back out again, a dog on a lead can give a false reading of aggression, a dog can feels trapped and vulnerable and feels it has to attack before been attacked itself, getting it to play with as many different dogs as possible helps, getting the dog to bark on command helps too, a dog barking releases tension without having to act on it, as when it encounters another dog it gets a tension build up which causes the explosion of a

A whippet functions almost exclusively on Prey instinct, which means that when its stimulated by movement not the material causing the movement its needs to ground that energy , the whippet gets loaded it needs to unload it does this by way of the chase, but when we look at Prey Drive which is a much slower energy transfer as in the case of sheepdog and Shepard we see a dog bred to take instruction while in drive, the sheepdog doesn't need to kill the sheep because it already feels good for him to be in drive it feels good to take instruction if it leads to drive, one is bred to kil

she's associating the struggle with the bank with the water in that place, i would let her back into water somewhere handy for her with a few easy throws to get the water issue straight in her again, its a perfect example of how much of the environment a dog takes in , in a negative situation, best of luck with her,

This is the way i see it icey, whatever situation your pup gets feedback from, effects how it sees the world good bad or indifferent why do you think lads hold pups back from encounters with charlie, because they know exactly there are big chances of a pup receiving negative feedback , nothing new there and its the same with every interact a pup has , its no different with dogs cattle people chickens etc, our childhood stays with us forever , dogs are exact ally the same i want to give the pup as many positive interactions as possible and if i expect hes going to get f**ked up by a

its a perfectly normal action for an excited canine, its not personal, i try keeping a pup separated from adult dogs until they reach some sort of point of reason, because up till that stage they are attracted by more force than their body can handle, meaning they are attracted when excited to situations they are emotionally unable to handle, manage the pup as best you can without letting him get into too much trouble, pups get themselves into situations and get spanked by a dog which may look harmless enough at the time but will only manifest itself when its temperament settles at 2/3 ye
