"As for the yard, well, Ranger goes walkabout at will and cannot be
allowed outside without supervision. Duke spent a year as an outside
dog; he's developed some inappropriately proprietary feelings about
"his" yard. Just two reasons why unrestricted yard access may not be
suitable for some dogs.
He can be a gentleman, but I can't depend on it."
"I use him as a demonstration dog in obedience classes.
Sam started chasing cars at 10 weeks and never did stop.
Sam ate the complete works of Charles Dickens, a heating
pad, a brand new pair of glasses, a baggie full of metal staples,
and a 3'x3' chunk of the kitchen linoleum. And the plugs off
many of the electrical appliances. And various personal bits
out of every pair of jeans and underwear I possessed."
"He did learn to control himself,"

"He did learn to control himself,"
Sam is why I'm "allergic" to puppies, but also why I
adore obnoxious adolescent dawgs. I dragged him to
obedience class when he was 6 months old, he dragged
me to obedience class (and agility class, and clicker
training class, and seminars, and show-n-gos, and fun
matches) for the next 4 years.
The world is a safer place now for dirty underwear and
plastic baggies.
I can go back to leaving the laundry basket on the floor.
And the trash cans. And I can remove my watch and set it
down without finding bits of its little crystal carcass in
Sam's crate. I won't have to flush Sam out from under the
dinner table, or eat with hot dogbreath steaming up my leg.
Heck, I still have an ACD who adores all people (also
not "normal" breed behavior!), but he's very breed-
typical in his attempts to control and "police" the
behavior of other dogs.
when Sam was injured in a scrap with Ranger I chose to
treat him at home - without veterinary care. Cost *was*
a consideration. He lost part of one ear, with the usual
impressive spattering of gore."
You mean he was DOG AGGRESSIVE, don't you, mary <{}: ~ ( >
BWEEEAAAHAHAHAAAA~!~!~!
"Left to his own devices, he'd be picking fights and
bossing everydoggy. That's why he's not left to his
own devices.
That's why he's not left to his own devices.
I wouldn't take Ranger to a dog park.
I have let him off lead, but only to play fetch
(he's ball obsessed) and never with strange dogs
around.
Ooooooh! SCARY, ain't it!
"My dog has lifted his leg on me several times *in the course
of submissive urination*. I believe that dogs may use
submissive behavior to get their own way just as they use
dominant behavior. For example, a dog that doesn't want
to have its bath may first growl or show its teeth when
you go to get him, and if that doesn't work may submissively
urinate. Or, in my dog's case, the submissive urination
didn't stop me from coming to get him, so he tried a more
assertive statement."
BWEEEAAAHAAAHAAA~!~!~!
"I got Sam - of the eaten linoleum, lamp plugs, eyeglasses,
heating pads, books, and metal staples. Sam, the Energizer
Bunny on speed (or so I thought at the time - I've met a few
dogs since then that make Sam look slug-like). Sam of the
3 solid years of obedience classes and hysterical car barking.
Oh, he learned quickly - still does. But he's no angel, even
now that he's a little older and a lot slower.
After Sam, and Noah (a strange dog, even by ACD standards),
and Ranger (a normal, which is to say difficult, ACD), the latest
addition, Duke, is far easier to live with than any of the others.
And I still have absolutely no idea what makes him tick."
"And my Sam dove at the tires of a passing car while on a 6' lead.
He didn't succeed, but that was my level of vigilance and not the
length of the lead. Ratchet the vigilance up a notch, no more "suicide
Sam".
SHAAAZZZAAAMMM~!~!~!
Perhaps you should hire a BEHAVIORIST, eh, mary?
