Destined to remain ignorant
My difficult-dog-to-learn-from did not appear in the form of Gala.
Trainer friends thought they saw signs of dog-aggression. (Well, that's how they make their living; why wouldn't they? Couldn't avoid taking her to the vet to have the drains removed from her wounds at a busy time -- barking, straining dogs all around. She paced in, sat calmly between my feet, and endured all without a flinch. The interesting one was li'l Pip who usually wants to sit beside me at the vets. He ignored me, planted his 10lbs squarely in front of Gala, and cast 'hard eyes' on all the dogs in the vicinity. He's been living relaxed in the shadow of magnificent Mac. He's 'the man of the pack', now. |

You're still in the honeymoon, Chris. She may turn out to be problematic, just you wait. Guinness was an absolute angel for the first six months with us. You're still the only person I know who would consider a problem dog a "good thing"!
