Agree with nekhbet on this advice... Cesar Millan's techniques are meant to be used after consulting a professional, I think.... they are certainly not a 'one size fits all' easy fix solution.

Why? If I see a muzzled dog, I will keep my distance as well.. I know what it is like to walk a DA dog..and also to be on the receiving end of an attack by one..so I keep my dog out of reach, for safety, and to also remove the target to give the dog's owner a break....

shame the vet didn't pick it up earlier .Corneal ulcers can take ages to heal .

Was it a normal castration- no internal testicle or anything? If there is just the single cut in front of the scrotum, with a few stitches.. then I too would suggest gentle leash walks ..and NO jumping around. It's the bouncing/jumping/running which could cause problems... Obviously if the wound is large,or anything else- then keep him quiet..provide him with interactive toys, like kongs filled with food and frozen- like soft drink bottles with kibble inside and lids removed ... or different large bones. In the long run, having him fence running/barking at passersby isn't a terrific idea - he may scare folks, or learn to like being so powerful , and so become louder and harder to control...

She looks happy

Here may be a spot for my little story ,from yesterday Our supermarket has a new checkout operator- a young man , perhaps from India? Not sure. He is conscientious, he thinks, and is very polite and cheerful Today I told him how much I appreciate all his effort .His immediate reply? "Thank you, May your God bless you". It made my day .

Dog Agressive.

she doesn't need pasta or rice - that can go straight away perhaps take her to a chiro or vet, get her checked out, perhaps get her comfortable, and increase the exercise ? Anywhere you can take her swimming?

I haven't consciously ever taught it- but, rattle a pill bottle and I have the dogs all sitting at attention waiting Pill gets poked down throat , or tossed & swallowed, depending on whether itis palatable or not.. then they get a bikkie.

I have found trampoline beds are not the warmest things-- as air circulates all round a good thick insulating layer of something on teh bottom , and something into which a dog can snuggle is very warm Our working dogs sleep outdoors, usually in teh dreaded 44 gallon drums .. BUT they are SO warm in there, with lots of raw wool and op shop blankets/old clothing ... Some dig holes in the sand and sleep under the stars .... their choice!

Just make sure the dog can fully open its mouth to pant!

Just halve the quantity of her meals Easy, and you don't have to buy anything different....! Give her small amounts of mashed cooked pumpkin if she acts starving.. and NO treats .

cute!!

Glad they are doing well now.. any more pics ?

yep .. my aunt had similar advice- except 3yrs old was mentioned!!!

Look at those shaggy faces gorgeous!!

You mentioned you had a professional at your house to help with the dog/s what did they suggest you do? Be VERY cautious if you take that anxious dog to see the train ... if it toots or scares her in other ways..., and she bolts/freaks out, you may have more problems Please do this only after speaking personally with a professional who has worked with your dog .,

She may well be playing and barking Pups will get bored, and enjoy playing/running/barking!! get a water container which you can clip onto the wall of her pen..put a couple of cardboard boxes in there for her to jump on/chew..give her a couple of toys each day.. rotate them ... make sure one toy is something which can roll, and/or makes a noise when moved- so it grabs her attention ... Perhaps do an obedience session with her of a morning- working hard ,using her brain will tire her more than playing

*comes back*...I really do love that photo!

Not sure what it is- but what a GREAT photo!! :D It is a beautiful spider ! perhaps have a look HERE ?

Yes, apparently CHOICE magazine have done a story on it. It will be interesting to hear the vets' replies .

Oh.... what a lovely boy he sounded ... so sorry.

That's a lovely poem nelson is now free .....

Hi - if you have an axious dog who requires medication, and is constantly in a situation which is causing her stress ..and with owners pulling their heair out... you possibly need some good professional help may I suggest you call these folks ... LINK veterinary behaviourist- who can prescribe medication if required ..putting balloons on the door to frighten an already anxious dog is not a really helpful thing.....
