Worries about my boy and questions

Behavioral Issues

    OK, this response goes way back to a post Tanza made in this thread about shipping an 8 week old pup to someone you've never met…
    Many, many years ago (16 years, OMG!), we were in "negotiations" with Susan Coe and slated to get a lovely little girl, a Nate daughter, from her. We had been vouched for by Barbara Naddy, who owned Gala Celebration. At the last minute, Susan's husband decided he couldn't part with the little girl. Susan recommended us to Iris Craven, who had a girl of the same age, also a Nate daughter, who closely resembled the one we had been discussing. We got in touch with Iris, and wound up deciding to take her girl without even seeing her. We couldn't travel all the way from CA to MD, so Iris shipped her to us just a week before Christmas. "Holly" was an October baby, so she wasn't much over 9 weeks old... She traveled like a trouper in her little 100 Vari-Kennel, and we loved that little girl desperately until she finally crossed the Bridge at age 15 1/2. We were so glad that Iris was willing to do that. So, yes, responsible breeders do sometimes 'break the rules.'

    Your right, Terry, sometimes they do break the rules… or some breeders are willing to ship... I am just not one of them...

    To those of you that are having problems with mouthing, holding the muzzle is not a good solution. Substitute a toy for your "body parts" or totally ignore the pup and the minute that the pup settles down, praise.

    @BasenjiDiva: I'll probably give the Ecchinacia and goldenseal a try. Where do you find it? I get mine at Wal-Mart.

    sort of. The friend of mine who worked with the chimps said they were very poorly funded and were in need of a lot of things OSU wasn't able/willing to support anymore. It must have been horrible for her since that was her lifes work and I am sure they were her "babies"

    @jessi76: one piece of advice on classes, see if you can observe a class before paying or enrolling. this way you will be able to see what methods are used, how classes are run, how large they are, what level the other dogs are at, etc… always look for classes that use positive reinforcement methods, and are run by a certified trainer who will give you one on one attention if needed. good luck! keep us posted on the move (and of course, on Bindi) ! thanks! I wish I could have done some sort of check on my roommates before I moved in anyways, thanks again for the advice! I will pay close attention to the classes, I already seem to have high standards for Bindi as is LOL ~Kat
