M/F combinations?

    @Porthos:

    ok, the reason I was telling her "Pretty Girl" was because that has always been the only way to get her to "talk" and that is what I was trying to do, but I definitely agree that I was in the wrong at that point. He is very persistent when it comes to aggravating her. I have noticed that sometimes she will back down, is she losing her dominance? and one last question, should I intervene when she fights him to take the toy that he is playing with?

    IMO, no… I would not intervene

    @Shaye's: Just give your boy his space, gently try to pick him up and quit when he resists, rub his belly any way he will let you, and eventually, he'll calm down for you probably. I would respectfully disagree with quitting when he resists…....you are then reinforcing the resistance. If you can anticipate and release before you get resistance, that would be best, but if he starts to resist best to wait a moment and release as soon as he is quiet, which tells him what behaviour will get him what he wants. Reward profusely when he doesn't resist. When you know they don't like something, look for a tiny bit of success and build on it gradually. When you do get acceptance, don't insist on maintaining the position for very long. :)

    I took my B to Gentle Care in Cary. They were really great with Cody, even with his quirks.

    @snorky998: Saw a young male in Milwaukee on Saturday walking near the lake front toward the Circus Wagon Parade grounds. We were stuck in traffic and could only yell out the window to say what a cutie he was. Was accompanied by a male 2 legger and another small dog. Anyone from the forum? I dunno, but "male 2 legger" made me laugh! :D

    @sharronhurlbut: My boy freezes in his tracks when she does it to him! Always makes me laugh. Hahaha… that sounds like Charlie when Zaire hits him. He stopped being terrified of her noisesso now she has tried whining, screaming, and one quick bark at him. He never backs down now, untill she starts smacking him on the nose. then he doesn't know what to do and just lays down. :D
