I have a major concern re my very friendly Jack Russell. She loves
people and has taken to getting into visitors vehicle's when they go
to leave. I'm concerned that she is no longer happy living with us,
but also that someone may take her either intentionally or un-
intentionally. What can I do to stop this behavior???

I don't think it's unusual that some dogs enjoy riding in cars. I've used
that method myself a couple times to catch a stray. Ride along and open my
car door so the dog can get in. In our old neighborhood we had a stray chow
that had been running around the neighborhood, dirty and ragged looking, for
over a week. We'd tried to catch him, entice him, corral him. Nothing
worked until the 'ride in car' method. That's when I was finally able to
catch him, read his dog tags and call his owner, about two miles away. Poor
fella was simply lost.

As for your dog, as long as you don't allow it to run free, you shouldn't
have any problem with either being hit by a car, or being taken by a
stranger.

Hi Jerry,

Starr says hi, she's enjoying new freedom, iv been
working her off lead in my yard she comes every time.

She got a little spooked today I don't really know why
but she wanted to go inside, anyway when I asked her
to come her attitude changed as she took up her
position in front of me. Then she was easy to get
under control.

Oh and with winter we're having let me tell you its
great to have a dog that doesn't pull on the lead
anymore. With all this ice id hate being dragged
around.

Oh and i meant to tell you and never got around to it,
i was able to rescue a lost, fear/agressive dog from
running all over the street using the methods which
are now almost second nature to me.

with body language, praise and distraction i got a
dog that i thought might try to bite me sitting happily
at my side and wanting to be pet and played with
while we waited for the dog officer to take him to
the shelter so it all worked out well:-)

bye bye for now, crystal

Crystal has been professionally training dogs since
studying her FREE copy of The Amazing Puppy

Dogs DON'T GET LOST.

As for your dog, as long as you don't allow it to run free, you

Hi

We have a very happy and active female labrador puppy


Hey Klaus,

When my lab mix was a pup, and in the play biting phase,
I would grab her around her muzzle and tell her NO BITE,
NO BITE. She caught on to what I meant fairly quickly.

Sometimes I would grab just the top portion of her mouth,
behind the nose, and tell her 'no bite', and sometimes I would
grab the whole mouth, top and bottom jaw. Just depended
upon the situation, etc.

Either way, it wasn't a hurtful *grab*. It was just to let her know
what it was she was doing that was unacceptable, the play biting,
and then emphasizing the NO word, the sound of displeasure in
my voice.

Subject: Help with barking

"tiny dancer" wrote in message
. ..


You want dog talk. Okay, I'll give you dog talk.


Barking, Cesar Millan's technique worked perfectly well
for my two. Oh, it takes a bit of effort. But my barkers
are learning. They love to hang out upstairs at our front
windows and rule the neighborhood by barking at everyone
who dares to cross in front of our home.


I calmly and quietly move my body in front of them,
*claiming* the window as *my territory*. And I
back them away from the window and what ever is
outside there enticing them to bark. And ya know
what, it works like a charm. I'm at the point where
I no longer have to actually get up and go over to the
window to *claim it* anymore. I simply say their
names and stand up. Where upon they begin backing
away from the window all on their own.


I've been working on it about a week now, I say I'll give
it one more week and I think, by the way they have been
responding to this training, my barking at the window
problem will be solved.


Now go ahead, have at me about Cesar.


Since his walking on the leash training was a snap for me,
I have no doubt the window training will also be a success.
td


I've found the *calm assertive* method
to work for me in everything I've tried.

Good luck in your efforts! Sometimes training the
people is almost as hard as training the dogs. ;-)

I have to continually repeat, 'ignore them until they behave'.

No acknowledgments, no pets, etc., ignore them.

best,

Since I have two rather large dogs, both of whom I
acquired after the puppy stage, I have to be immediate,
firm, harsh when controlling bad behaviors.

When one of mine displays a behavior such as the one
you described, I grab them by the collar and take them
down to their side, repeating NO in a strong, firm voice.

And I keep them down on their side until they submit, relax, etc.

Then I repeat the NO again before letting them back up again.

Don't know if this will help you much, but it does work with mine.

"Although, when we first got Gracie, she was a bit dog
aggressive, and I did grab her by her collar, shouting NO
at her in my most firm commanding voice, and slam her
down to the ground and hold her there.

She weighs about 70 pounds. And doing that only a couple
times, taught her dog aggression was not acceptable behavior.

She no longer does it. But if there is a new dog present, and
I have the slightest doubt as to how she might react, I make
sure she is on a leash until I'm positive she won't be aggressive
towards it."

"I use my prong collars on the dogs when I do something
like that, just to be extra cautious because I have a child
with me. I want to have the best control over them as
possible, just in case they see a cat or something on our walk.

We do tend to see more critters out here in the country, and
the dogs aren't accustomed to all that yet. Lots of people out
here let their dogs roam freely, plus the cats, and we even
come upon the occasional horseback rider. I haven"t had
the time to work with them as much as I'd like yet, because
of my ruptured disc's. I have to take it easy for a few more
months per my physical therapist.

Hope this might help you some,"

"Gracie has never bitten anyone either, and she does warm
up to people I *introduce* her to immediately. But I think
if anyone was hurting/trying to hurt one of us, she'd protect us.

She's very much an alpha dog in her behaviors.

I have to continually work at convincing her that I am the
pack leader around here, not her. ;-) I always win, but
she does keep trying to challenge my authority.

And when she stands up on her back legs, she's just about
as tall as me, 5' 5". So when she throws herself at the front
windows, barking and growling, she does look quite intimidating
to strangers."

"Merlin, on the other hand, is the total opposite of Gracie. He
constantly gives us 'the look'. He has a real attitude. When I
call him, he gives me the "why should I come" look. The "I
don't feel like it" look.

He can be very frustrating at times.

But he's big and goofy and playful, and we love him just
as much. He had two homes before ours that didn't work
out. And in some ways I can see why.

He's a free spirit, a tease, a big play-baby.

He will position himself at one end of the dining room table,
and run me around it like a pro. He watches everything we
do, in order to decide if he chooses to participate."

"Now bo, do you remember what I told you one does if
their dog does something objectionable? You grab it
by the collar, put the dog down into a postion of
submission, and hold it there until it understands it's
place in order of the pack.

And when I use the term 'pack' here, I'm not referring
to four dogs. I'm referring to dog/human. And need I
even mention the fact that these were Rottweilers/Chow mixes????

I think pretty much everyone here who know's anything about
dogs has voiced their opinion about avoiding CHOWS. You
certainly don't go out and breed a CHOW with a rottie to get
a better PROTECTION dog.

If I've forgotten anything else, please feel free to remind me."

Subject: the jungle (trigger warning)

Hi, I guess here is where one puts triggers??

Your experience triggered a memory in me of the same
sort of situation. I too was in my closet, preparing for a
move, going through boxes of things, sorting, whether
to move or discard. I came upon a box I hadn't opened in
years.

My ptsd is due to an abusive childhood.

So I opened this box and found a small red book, a diary.
I kind of remembered the book, seeing it before. All of my
early memories were repressed at this time in my life.

So I eagerly opened the book to see what was inside. I began
reading a page at random. I don't recall what it said, I just
remember whatever it said triggered horror in me.

I threw the book across the room, screaming, crying hysterically.
I did that for a long time, until I was cried out, exhausted, then I
mechanically walked across the room to where the diary had landed,
picked it up, took it all the way outside, through the snow, to the
trash cans. The waste basket in the kitchen wouldn't do.

Something in me knew I had to get it out of the house.

I threw it in the trash can, went back inside, and continued on
as if it never happened. I didn't even remember it happening
at all until years later in therapy.

So glad to hear Muffin is doing better. Just got home from the
hospital today myself, no malignancies but I'm in alot of pain
and can't sit at the computer more than a few minutes. Do we
know what was wrong with Muffin??

Again, I'm so glad to hear about Muffin, I just can't tell you how
much better that makes me feel. My own baby had reached her
limit last night and was about to have a nervous breakdown without
her mama.

I was told she just stood there shaking, teeth chattering, she
was a real basket case. Needless to say, she too is feeling
alot better tonight. :-) Murphy is a lab/springer spaniel mix
and she's 10 years old now.

She had an ultra sound last summer and if at all possible
get them to let you stay with her. I told them Murphy
would be alot better if I was with her so they gave it a try,
and we did just fine.

She gets really "stressed" when seperated from us, but as
long as I held her front half in place and talked to her, and
a vet tech held her back half in place they didn't have to
sedate her to do the procedure. She weighs about 65lbs.
so she can be a handful.

Be sure to let us know what they find, as I've really been
thinking about her. Okay, my time is up, have to go lay
down again.

Best Wishes,

Hi Nick,

Our Murphy had pancreatitis a few years ago, and sometimes
with something serious a few hours can make a big difference.
Our Murphy girl pulled through, and I'm not saying that's what's
wrong with Muffin, it's only that I learned how important quick
action is in some situations.

Dogs apparently can become dehydrated pretty quickly.
They put her on IV fluids and she was hospitalized for
three days in intensive care. We love her as much as
you must love Muffin, hope I'll hear how she is before
I have to go.

Take care and give Muffin a kiss for me,

Subject: Foot-biter?????

Hi Guys,

Anybody have a better idea of what to do when Murphy
chews a spot off the top of her foot?? She nibbles away
until there's a patch about dime size where all the hair is
gone.

I put an antibiotic cream on it, and put baby booties over
her foot so she can't chew it. It works for awhile, until she
manages to work the bootie off. I try to keep up with her,
but she goes and hides somewhere in the house because
she knows she's supposed to leave that bootie on, so if I
don't catch her right away she's able to chew a bit more
before I can get the bootie back on.

I don't want to try anything with alcohol or anything because
it looks kind of raw and I don't want it to sting her. I was
thinking more if anybody had a better idea to cover it than a
baby bootie??

Thanks,

Going away tomorrow night & been too busy to look in much
but Stone, as Murphy, does it for nerve / 'comfort' - a bit like
I chew my fingers. she ONLY does it when she's unhappy or
feels insecure, like when I'm not there or if say in the night she
feels she may not be loved enough ~ sorry to 'humanise' her
here but I don't know her exact feelings but thwe patterns are
that obvious.

When, as she is now, she's right there beside me she's the
happiest, brightest & most.. well she's just brimming with
love & joy and for the sake of me just being careful to
prevent her from feeling bad / protecting her from herself
when I can't be there, I'm not going to zonk out her normal,
everyday 'brightness'.

I had to go out all day yesterday, so collared her & gave her
a big bone to pre-occupy her while I left. Unfortunately the
collar fell off & she got her 'knee' quite badly. Pete got home
before I did & he said she literally cowered from him - so
the B******d told her off!!!

These things don't help & I am battling every day to educate
Pete into being a little more sympathetic.... I think I would
find her problems easier if he weren't so quick to shout at her.

I'm still having a problem getting all the messages, but I read
something about Stone chewing herself?? I have to agree here,

I don't know why your vet said it would affect her quality of life.
I hear all the time about dogs being on prozac and it helping alot.

Murphy gets in periods where she chews herself too, especially
the tops of her feet and her tail. It seems like certain times of the
year with her, like fall time she does more chewing on herself.

She doesn't sound as bad as Stoney, but my vet did tell me it
was "nerves". Like once she starts gnawing away on a part
of her, she just keeps at it. Sometimes I put stuff on her for
itching, like spray some sort of benedryl product, the vet has
given her oral benedryl too, to help with itching.

We do use an oatmeal shampoo to bathe her and that seems to
help. It's supposed to help calm the skin. Sorry if any of these
things have already been mentioned, but I only caught a part of
this story.

Subject: Why I'm so pissed off at whats going on

Hi Larry,

It's okay, they can maybe catch a couple of us off guard for a
little while but all they end up doing is showing us in some
ways how far we've come in our therapy.

Like for instance, I can't stand these women who say stuff
like "I don't know if I could ever shoot anybody?" in that
whimpy voice. I know I could blow away some asshole if
they were trying to get to me in a heartbeat.

I know I'd use the little Smith & Wesson my husband got
me, but I sure do like to rack up his Remington. I like the
feeling of power that sound gives me.

He says it would stop a bear and I believe that. And that's
why I like my big dogs around me. Whiskey, the ridgeback/
rottie mix has the grace and elegance of the ridgeback but
the rottie jaws all the way and she hates men.

It takes her a long time to warm up to the "good guys", bad
guys forget it. She loves women, but for some reason men
have to be around for quite some time before she accepts them.

We think she was abused by a man/men before we rescued
her because of her reactions to them. And you know those
ridgebacks were originally lion hunters so she runs like the
wind and has these incredible muscles in her whole body.

But when her jaws grab something my husband can pick all
80lbs of her off the floor and she just hangs on to whatever
she's got in her mouth. Murphy is only about 65 lbs, but
very protective also, and the new baby, although only about
30 lbs right now, looks to be the biggest of all judging by the
size of her paws.

She's a little hellion right now though, teething and biting
everything that gets in her way. She's replacing Coda who
died last year. He was 120lbs of muscle with the lowest
growl you'd ever want to hear, made peoples hair
stand on end when you heard that growl.

So see how far I've come with my therapy. I'm sure when I
began my therapist didn't ever in a million years think I'd end
up with a pistol and a pack of big dogs, but hey, he says
whatever works for you.

Thanks Larry, you said it so well. Lots of us have similar

fight or flight thing better. If I'm in the right place I can
sometimes do the fight, but if not the flight always escapes
me, it ends up being frozen in fear. So many times I've
opened my mouth to scream and nothing comes out,
even the scream is frozen inside.


I bet you give a good blow job though.

I think the reason the issues of protecting dogs are because,
Human relationships always involve pain, diplomacy, hard
work in building, conditions, giving, and often unbelievable
emotional damage.

A dog is close and personal. Their fur soaks up tears, They
don't judge.

They are the only being who you can share your true self. It's
unconditional. You give little and reap such enormous returns
.They would give their life to you without a thought. Such noble
beasts being tortured is beyond such comprehension that
those blessed with such relationships is more than the
passionate dog lover can bear.

Such injustice goes past laws that bind people by government
or sense. It's something much more primordial than that.

We all know by law, a dog is property. That makes no sense at
all. it just doesn't compute. It's far MORE than that. I am a
basically non-violent person, and I can think of only one thing
that would bring me to the point of murder. This wouldn't
necessarily be personal defense, family defense, but without a
doubt, the defense of my dog.


Totally agree with you here. And I think the laws should be
changed. A dog is much more than personal property, they
have enormous feelings and emotions. We who love them
have seen their emotions. In fact I read somewhere that dogs
feel things even more than humans.

Some dog researcher, can't remember his name. When one of
my daughters dogs died unexpectedly her other dog was devastated.

Coda was a huge chocolate lab, way too heavy for her husband
to move alone, so when we arrived at their house it took three
grown men to carry him out. After they carried him down to our
SUV her other dog Brandy went over to the spot where Coda had
lain, sat right down there. I went to sit beside her and comfort her
and as she looked up at me I saw a huge tear in each of her eyes.

She knew, she understood, and she 'hurt' deeply.

My own dog Murphy is very intelligent, understands most,
if not all, of what's being said, going on around her. If you
study most animals I think you'll find they share deep emotions.

In my opinion they should be valued, shown the same amount
of respect and protection under the law as we humans. I know
my opinions probably don't conform to most, but I value life,
any life, and I don't value a human life 'more' than that of my
dog.

If anyone hurt my dog I wouldn't think twice about shooting
them if that was the only way to make them stop. She is just
like any other member of my family.

Subject: puppy cries while chewing toys?
"weric" wrote in message
...

we just adopted a 4 month old hound mix puppy (i think
bloodhound and beagle) from a no kill shelter. he has a few
squeaky toys and when he's chewing on them he whimpers /
cries. why is that? could this be part of teething, or maybe the
squeaking bothers him?


anyone else ever have this? is it a problem?


I don't think it's any problem, murphy does that sometimes.

I always took it to be some show of emotion, who knows what
goes through their minds sometimes. Sometimes, if she's got
something really special, she'll pace around the house crying
'searching' for just the right hiding spot, as if hubby or I might
steal it!

Since she's an only child it's not as if some
other dog is going to come along and 'find' it. :-)
