Before someone comes along and claims it is brand new let me say it has been around a long time, as well as most of the "cutting edge training innovations" that people are singing the praises of. It just goes to show that negative reinforcement is the most positive way of correcting negative behavior. A look at "Dog Tricks" by Haggerty and Benjamin, written nearly a quarter of a century ago outline many of these "new" techniques. Paul Loeb has been training dogs at least 25 years that I personally know about. That gives him a great deal more experience than those that claim to know all the answers.

I know a lot of people recommend the above approach, which only goes to prove it doesn't work in a lot of cases.

THAT HIGH PITCHED YELPING SOUND ALERTED BEEMER Do you want to rent Beemer to me. She make a good dog training assistant. CAPTAIN HAGGERTY > The puppy was not hurt, just frightened, I think.

I'd suggest letting Beemer do it 3 to 5 more times It should REDUCE the pup's nipping behavior considerably, as long as both you and Beemer are consistent. CAPTAIN HAGGERTY > With this whole alpha dog thing, will the puppy come > to believe that the cat is in charge? (I know dumb > question) Will my puppy have any anxiety over this? Don't worry about the "alpha dog thing". Worry about you ankles. With luck you dog will have anxiety worrying about biting your ankles. CAPTAIN HAGGERTY Publisher of the AGGRESSION NEWSLETTER Los Angeles (310) 398-4676 Matty also dealt with separation anxiety, fear agresssion, and jumping. He uses no special "tricks"; just confidence and a corrective jerk. It's really amazing the results he (and the owners he taught!) (INDEEDY! Ask Dra. Laura Schlessinger. Her dog that uncle matty trained ATTACED HER.) got a 7 month old lab stopped jumping on people with two jerks. (Jumping is BONDING behavior) After that you could jump up and down all you wanted, but the dog would just sit and wag its tail. (Tail wagging is a SYMPTOM of anxiHOWESNESS) We also ALL got lectures on the importance of learning to correct our dogs (quotes: "would you rather correct your dog once, or have it bite a child?" and "That dog is a lawsuit waiting to happen unless you learn to correct it!"). =================== From: CAPTAIN HAGGERTY (captainh@gte.net) Subject: Re: What's best Newsgroups: rec.pets.dogs.behavior Date: 1998/05/27 Chris wrote in article <356b55dd.0@news.victoria.tc.ca>... > I have a Chow Chow / Rotweiller cross.

What you need to do is spend some quality time with Skye. there are all sorts of dog sports that the two of you could become involved in. a great starting place would be w/ an obedience course. It will help youbetter understand one another. Just schedule time to be with her. DO NOT GIVE HER AWAY. She loves you and you love her.

HOWEsbreakin "problems" are NEGATIVE ATTENTION GETTING DEVICES to command 100% of your UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.) I wouldn't have tried to rub his nose it. He knew he did something wrong from your description and you caught him in the act. An IMMEDIATE verbal scolding would have sufficed and would not have caused that unfortunate dynamic.

Am I overreacting? No, you are not overreacting. Get Max obedience trained as fast as possible. You have what is potentially an escalating aggression problem. You have a hormonal problem that needs immediate control.
