Escalation of behavior prior to extinction of behavior. NICESURGERY FOR THE FAMILY PET
J1Boss wrote: From: Charlie Wilkes Yes. I'm afraid Nessa and Janet the Boss-Lady are gonna get together in the park and work on teaching Bagel to "Respect," and it's gonna backfire even further. I just love how people make assumptions of how things are accomplished. I've never seen Bagel in this mode, which is why I want to see him at the park. Whenever I've seen him, he's been a big, galumphing, slowish, mush of a dog. I was surprised to hear about his guarding behavior. Respect is gained in many ways, and needs to be BUILT. No, I don't alpha-roll, hit, or anything of the sort. OTOH, if something is dangerous, it WILL come out of their mouth. Many ways to accomplish that. Yeah, one way is SURGERY.... BWAHAHHAAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!

I think that Franklin's been naughty. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. and apparently pretty sneaky too - can't figure this one out still! FYI - He ingested a mystery sock. Hadn't done that in well over a year. When he was a puppy we were very lucky - they went through or came up. We've done "sock work" with him leaving them alone, but mostly are pretty conscientious about not making them available. The risk is obviously too high. One of his littermates beat him to the punch with the same surgery, and his great grandfather had this habit until he died at age 12. My MIL was visiting (sockless!) and since he wasn't with me every waking moment as usual as a result, I can only imagine that the sock presented itself somehow while she was with him. He was a very, very sick dog. He had emergency surgery on Monday, but was home by Tuesday - we lucked out that the sock had advanced enough that they didn't need to cut the bowel. Once he was opened, they were able to manipulate the sock out his rectum. He thinks he's fine, so the leash is very necessary! He's got about a foot of staples on his tummy, and this was a very expensive sock!

View this article only Newsgroups: rec.pets.dogs.behavior Date: 2002-06-27 05:20:30 PST From: diddy Some dogs are really adept at getting out of things, even the impossible. Yes indeed. I crated Franklin when I had to leave yesterday. He's post surgical and needs to be confined and rest/kept safe. He is used to crates, has not problem with them and does not "escape" (mesh crates, wire crates, etc - he takes them all in stride, whether strange places or at home). When I got home, both dogs greeted me at the door. He had managed to bend the clips on the end panel of his metal crate (General Cage 204) and squeeze out the top/side of the end panel that has the door. The door was securely closed. THAT was NOT a good thing to do with a foot of staples in your tummy. He hadn't done it before - but he's not his usual self obviously. We won't be trying that again any time soon!
