Whole Dog Journal

Behavioral Issues
  • Don't know if many of you on this list subscribe to The Whole Dog Journal, but you should.. there are so many great articles from food to health to training…. This month is an article about resource-guarding. It is outstanding.. one of the books recommended is "Mine" by Jean Donaldson, available for about $13 at Dogwise.com

    Many of us have resource-guarding problems and I would venture to bet that over 1/2 of us never even reconize it.....

Suggested Topics

    Sparkle Barkle came into heat in April. Logan went nuts! I was traveling so my wife was saddled with the mayhem. Mayhem doesn't begin to describe the situation. Sparkle should be coming in again within days, I hope, and unfortunately, he won't get any love this time either. He's gonna be a massive handful for at least a MONTH. I'm not traveling this time, so it's all on me. Cross your fingers for Tri females. I want three!

    @nellyja said in Growling at dogs during walk: Read best tips for dog training is to think growing dogs best tips? Not even close. Tie a collar and leash to pup while it eats? Beyond that, nonsense. I wonder how many sites you go to in order to spam with that site?

    Thanks for your replies. I guess in the spontanaity of the moment I did as I do with my other dogs, a no and then a quick taking the thing away since I'm boss and I'm the owner of everything ultimately. I do believe Rowdy was not being the bad growling type bite – he took his front teeth and nipped at my arm, pinching it, but it hurt! I will try to work on the "leave it" command, since I taught that to my mom's poodle and it worked well. Rowdy is smart and is finally getting some of the house rules down. Though he's sneaky when he isn't resting beside you and you forget to watch him... :)
