What Happened??

    What Happened??

     To my psycho aggressive dog who doesn't play nice with others????

    As I type this, there's a new dog ( 9 yrs) in the house and Maze did her first ever playbow!! The only problem is the poor old dog doesn't want to play. Lol So Maze keeps whining at her, hoping it will work.

    As well what happened to the dog that wouldn't come when called no matter what I had in hand?? I just started whistle training YESTERDAY and she's already coming back without hesitation every time. I even called her off of her biggest distraction. Our neighbor who owns Bumps! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not going to trust it yet but it's a step forward in the right direction. And I've got perfect eye contact during training when not a year ago if someone looked in her eyes, she would attack...

    *sigh.* She's growing up...

     Yay Maze!  Crusher says he'll play with you if you want.  He loves the playbow, though today he kind of 'Stinks' when he does it....Huh?

    I told Maze about Crusher's offer and she's already packing bags.. Lol.. Maze stinks too but not when she bows.. Lol.. I need to give her a bath...

     I'll let him know.  He likes stinky dogs anyway.  He got a bit too much liver today me thinks...thats why he has stinky playbows.....

    Maze gets that way when I'm using cheese has a training treat. (Which is today) so she's sleeping on her bed now. Lol...

    I wish Maze had more dogs to play with but they're all afraid of her now cuz of the way she used to be.

     I wish my dogs did too.  They have each other, but sometimes I think they get bored of that.  Onyx took off and found another friend two days ago.  She comes in from the kennel freely, while I leash Crusher.  For some reason though she took off and went down the road and found another dog that she teased into breaking his chain.  Onyx kept trying her best playbows, but it just kept staring at her and trying to sniff her butt.  I think when she realized he didn't want to play with her she decided to come home.  This took about 3 minutes and I was on top of it, but that owner came out after her dog and SCREAMED at it.  The poor thing went slinking back, tail between its legs.  I don't think it knew how to play.    I don't think there are any dogs around that mine could play with.  The JRT from across the road charged my dogs the first time he saw them and Crusher pounced the ground in front of him(he was on his leash) and that dog turned tail and yelped the entire way home.  Crusher didn't even make a peep!  He was like,"Dude!  I was just saying Hi!"

    Poor guy!!!

    All the dogs around here are too old or to young or to mean. It's sad really..

    Emma will play with ALL of your dogs! She looooves big dogs, and wrestling, and CHASE. Chase is her favorite, and she likes to be the one being chased. She doesn't like to be caught, though.

     

    Hooray for Maze!!! I'm so glad she's doing better! Keep up the good work, pretty pup. 

    • Gold Top Dog

    YAY! Someone for Maze to chase! She loves to play that but all the dogs just lay down and growl at her..  

    • Gold Top Dog

     Oh that's Crusher's favourite game too.  He loves to chase, he was groomed for it by his first girlfriend Lucy.  She just wasn't happy unless someone was chasing her.  Lucky for her, she could corner like nobody's business or he would have caught her everytime.  He had her licked on the straight stretch by a good 10 mph I'm sure.  But they had fun.

    Yay Maze!  Grady is frantically waving his paws in the air.  He'd LOVE to play with Maze.  How is she at accepting hip checks?  He lives to smash his tush into another dog & wrestle, wrestle, wrestle.  I have to say, he's got a pretty darned cute play bow too.

    Bugsy says hey I could play with Maze and Crusher and Onyx and and Emma and Grady and ............................

    LOL he will play any way you want to play, fears no one so if you are a bit gruff initially he don't care its all good!  he will playbow for anyone but he won't ever Never Ever show another dog his belly.  It's just the way it is.

    And I am very glad to hear that Maze is settling in to play with others

    LOL I really think Pirate would like to play with Bugs. He's rough and tumble!

    Yay Maze!

     Oh, Emma will show EVERYBODY her belly. After the initial greeting, she usually rolls right over.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Haha! I love dogs like that! Casey doensn't show dogs his belly... unless he really, really likes them and they happen to be wrestling and the belly just happens to show a bit. haha.

    He love to chase and run. He really loves to BE chased. And if you don't want to run? He'll herd you....

    YAY for Maze =]
