    You got to make yourself more revelant to the pup at that stage of development, sexuaity brings strong urges which are being triggered by other stimulation, a pup doesn’t finely tune any stimulation at that age because evolution doesn’t know what round the corner so it’s stimulation level and interest are vast , it’s anyrhing that triggers its Prey instinct, so engaging it’s prey instinct through you is the only way to go, it stops other behaviour now from becoming a habits later food, tug items , walks away from other gobshites in as quiet an area as you can so the

    Don’t over complicate things In the house i don’t let a pup free in the house until he’s able to contrast between inside rest : outside play , it’s a habit that’s get created by you habits the pup create turn into problems we have to solve if left to their own devices it’s either in its crate or it’s outside with me , it learns that’s it environment decides it’s state of mind ignore it in the house and the pup will switch off stimulate it in the house and the pup will be switched on , constantly

    Young lads need to stop projecting thoughts into the dogs head and see pups for what they are , every pup is working off a preprogrammed script that first and foremost involves prey making anytime a pup gets stimulated it slips into a prey making reflex just because it’s a f***ing cushion in the sitting room , doesn’t make it any less real in the pups state of mind , it’s a mind set we need to work with if we constantly confront a pup for displaying and acting on a stimulated state , we create problems for the recall and many other behaviours later in maturity from a pups

    Don’t be afraid to use food Up until sexual maturity a pup is a stomach on legs I only feed while out with the pup , getting it making physical contact to feed , if you think about it , it’s about getting a pup coming into your space in the field and aligning around a highly prized item but at the same time I don’t bowl feed so I’m not creating an exclusion zone around something the dog values , no fear creeps in as it never arises instincts creep in when a dog is unsure of your space ,

    Firstly , Dogs move differently in different states of mind, if it’s on the way out as opposed to on the way back in , I would keep a eye on it the term “Supple “ is used for a relaxed, chilled, easy motion style of movement but it should also show in relaxed shoulders , neck , ears down , swaying style as you mention, basically not a care in the world, happy in its skin , energy grounded. To my eye, it’s a body language tell of a well grounded dog and a good outing

    Seen some great results from a half bred bitch to a good lurcher dog , twice as good as the bitch , pups seem to be ahead of time as far as learning too, smart from the off

    I’ve always worked off the principle that if a animal was bred for a specific purpose the pups will be genetically predisposed to gravitate towards that purpose, actually catching game in this case , almost as if the learned ability is passed on to the pups even prior to them hunting , I used to believe the greyhound was the starting point, but hounds nowadays are bred to race not catch , collie is not bred to catch , although they can , and when was the last time a deerhound fed a family that’s my take on it , I’m sure others will disagree , but I feel the physical history of

    What I am saying is when someone brings a dog here with dog aggressive tendencies, it is almost certainly socialised with a high temperament with zero outlet for its physical capabilities many have had negetive encounters through socialisation , I wasn’t clear enough to add that these are joe public’s dogs not working animals working dogs are less aggressive in general because of purpose

    The puppy stage of development is the most open and engaging , there is complete emotional flow, in other words what it is attracted to , it wants to ingest , A stomach on little legs , no barriers to attraction and also no self regulation, no impulse control when it encounters resistance as it grows which it will in the form of house breaking, confrontation for ripping shit up, basic run of the mill day to day life in the Home encounters , these encounters are tagged with fear , how can it not be, the only way it can perceive the world is through a predator/prey axis negati

    There definitely food for thought in what your saying ,it’s gone a bit stale on here of late , I’ll say one thing about chap , when he takes a bite he won’t let go ? debate on any topic is always good believe it or not , it informs but it also brings a new prospective you may not have looked at before If you keep an open mind ,
  15. Casso
    ? plenty, but I don’t hide behind” I’m this and I’ve done that” ,it might impress some but you’ve a limited knowledge of why and how of behaviour , you don’t really understand dogs, your ego won’t let you open your mind, if you could debate behaviour like an adult , I’m all ears but there’s nothing behind the bravado ,
  16. Casso
    The reason it can contrast between two environments is because it’s shown what to bite first and when to bite, not the other way round they show it what to do with its energy first that’s how a protection dog knows go from no , nothing in the hell to do with socialisation
  17. Casso
    Socialisation is the new cure all for dog aggression , how were dogs able to hold their shit together years ago before socialisation ?
  18. Casso
    So if a bullock came up the lane the same as a person and got nipped and ran , one is bad socialisation and the other is it’s job , can ya not see the link ?
  19. Casso
    Every mutt in these isles has been socialised as is the norm for the last 10 years but the shelters are growing ? basically you putting any instance of aggression down to not been socialised , is that what your saying ?
  20. Casso
    Why will a dog only be aggressive on a lead while otherwise is fine , why will a dog just flip out one day out of the blue and before that showed no aggression ?
  21. Casso
    Why does the collie on the farm nip and bite at cattle and sheep Bad socialisation ?
  22. Casso
    Sorry bout that , just trying to make a point
  23. Casso
    Totally agree, well done on your degree the only issue I have with that is , a dog never has a psychological problem , it only ever has a physical one a dog resolves a problem , physically a problem dog, be it dog aggression , human aggression , aggressive when on the lead , all arise because a dog feels stuck , unable to move physically , it’s feels acted upon and needs a physical expression fear is resolved through energetic output , stimulation resolved in the same manner , physically moving its body and that’s the crux of understanding canine behaviour you c

    How much socialising does a pup need ? You keep believing what they’re telling you mate , I know what works because I’ve been there , your only believing what you’ve been told ? you are the bloke with the cowering pup , I’m sure , the one with the crap retrieve
