my_sibe_owns_me

I so understand what your saying! We have mutts and mastiff and had a rott and a lot of other mutts and we did the same thing, by taking them out and trying to get them to like and be buddy buddys with other dogs...and well like yours our dogs dont alow many new dogs into the pack and all of them are dog agressive... But in an odd way I think your new method will work! to really stop and think about it you want the dog to have a strong bond with you then you wouldnt alow your pup to gain the same bond with other dogs... Good Ideal! Be sure to let us know how the pup turns out ps. Do you think your new method would work and a dog that just turned 6 months and has tried to eat other dogs from day 1?

I too wished I had gotten the right advice from the start. From day one (7 1/2 weeks) my pup tried to jump out and bit someone over her toy...I didnt alpha roll her then I just had to teach her to "release"( Because she tried to to eat the toy when I went to take it way.) and never gave the toy back. and then she went throw a I am boss over evrey1 thing (Biting other dogs to get her way) So I went around and asked many people and trainers, (Mostly people who show dogs and a sibe breeder from my area) and 80% of them told me to use the alpha roll. But I believe I have realized its a short term fix and you need a new method to get the long term fix.

You can train anything out of a dog. It just takes time and efort.

Oh god I would never even think aout rolling her at shows! Shes soo fouced on me at shows that half the time she doesnt even look around. She just thinks somthing/someplace is hers. for ex. one day she decide no other dog could be around me..she would jump in front of me and start barking and went off to bite my other dogs...It took me a day or two to break her from it, I just had to teach her that other dogs where a good thing..but now she does it when a dog is anywhere that she doesnt think it should be. I will use you advice erny. I dont need to vidoe tape her because I have been watching her very closly for the last mounth and i can now read her like a book. I'll just have to gain fouces when she starts to glare...I truely hope it works. I have also realized how differnt sibes are from most breeds...I did read for 2 yrs about sibes before I got my pup but somewhere down the line i guess I forgot to notist how stuborn they can be. lol. Their so much differnt from any of the other breeds I have raised but i believe its main because sibes have a very high prey drive.

I dont always use the roll only when she in it for the kill...I dont know how to exsplain it but you are right I use it when I am not in control, when there is no other way to gain fouce. :rolleyes: But I did look at the web site you gave me and she is on a leash no matter where she is and she is crated when I am not around. She hasnt had a chance to bite another dog because 1) she is on a leash and 2) I now stop her while she's charging off to bite another dog instead of the second she goes to bite down. 3) she knows what "leave it" means but she tends to zone me out which is no big deal now that shes on a leash and I can keep her from running off while I gain her fouces and last but not least 4) with age, both of us are growing wiser of one another.

I tend to use the submit roll for my dog...but I dont yell and I dont hold her head down. I simple get her on her side, and place her in a cage afterwards. But this doesnt work for every1 because their dog may turn around and bit them. Many people dont agree with how I deal with it but at the same time many do. But there are a million ways to deal with a dog and yelling at a soft dog will fix nothing and I dont think yelling at any dog will fix a promble..only time and efort will.

I glad she starting to listen. But just in case she dosent stop grab her muzzle and say Ouch very loud in a high pitched voice and make sure you look her in the eye and only let go when she looks away and give her a pat on the head

See I use the roll because with in the first week of having my pup she latched on to one of are poms over a toy. Of course he screamed and screamed so there really wasnt any other way to make her stop. And she needed a huge no for it but she didnt know the word know but all dogs know they have done somthing wrong when they made to sumbit. But she doesnt fight me when I do it and I only roll her when she does somthing like biting out of means and not play. When I want her to calm down I grab her cheeks and look into her eyes till she chills out and looks away then I crate her.

YEp sounds like my dog to the T! I also use the roll or just get her to lay on her slide while I lightly apply pressure on the shoulder/neck area. I see nothing wrong with it as long as you can win the battle. whats the differnce from pulling on a lead and cutting off oxgyen than just rolling your dog? I believe rolling the dog works better. But im going to try and stop the bad behavor before it starts so hopfully I wont have to use the roll again.

Nekhbet I owe you! Do you know how much that web site is helping? I do most of these things with her already but theres other stuff in there that im almost 99.9% will make her do a 360. Thank you!!!

I dont see how a lack socialisation is her problem. I looked into the breed for a year before I got my pup so I know how importan it is to get her out and meeting people and their dogs. whitch is why I've been taking her to work hoping to get her to mingle nicely with others..but I guess I'll start leaving her at home. And we do have to work on obediance...she stops when I say leave and she stops when I say no. She stays but she doesnt always come....shes very sturborn and storng willed but I love her anyways. I'm going to go look up the web site....thank you, both of you. I'm sure that most of it is because I havnt trained her corretly..but I have never dealt with a sibe before and I have just been trying my hardest to shape her into a well rounded good. Maybe it is the lack of respect... (Thankfully the mastiff, saluki, and pom came out okay but they all have to be hadled differnt ways.)

He was a pretty dog. Lossing dogs is like having a piece of your soul ripped away

are you serious...sibes are certainly NOT aggresive ;) Maybe aggresive is not the right word but I believe posessive works for her.

Shes going to be 6 months on the 6th. At work shes on a leash and when shes just to hyper or bad she goes to a crate. Methods: We dont have a problem with who the boss is. The only thing that I fond to works is making her submit to me when she bites other dogs. its the only way I got her to stop bitting our poms. But she still bits the saluki way to hard, she just gets carryd away. Plus she believes that she must be alpha over everyone. If she cant have it then no ones can either whitch we feed and give bones to our dogs sepratly but the toys our all through out the house whitch causes problems sometimes. But now that she is getting older she stops what shes doing when I tell her no but she bolts across the room to get litlte dogs hence the reason she stays on a med leash at work. I want her to mingle with other dogs and she has been intordued to dogs right after she had the last of her puppy shots so I dont understand why she doesnt tolrate other dogs... I have also tried putting rocks in a bottle and shaking it...this didnt fase her one bit. And I crate her when she's bad, this seems to take the edge off of things most of the time. If she has anything and I want it she will give it up to me...but im not sure if that proves whos boss. She loves people and she loves little kids dont get me wrong she very lovable but she just doest do well with dogs.

My sibe still trys to bit little dogs...I have tryd everything to fix the promble but nothing seems to work! I live with poms and after 2 months she finaly leaves them alone because n ow their part of the pack. But I take her to work (Grooming shop) and she goes after all the little fur balls. Not in a mean way but a play way, but she plays way to hard. She also has a major possession promble that I have been working on. I know sibes are known for their agression but they are also very kind hearted dogs and any advice that will help me bring out the kind hearted dog would be great.
