Well, things were going really well with Stan and Joe until the last few days. Hes been growling more and keeps getting teeth out to him too so I've decided, if he carries on, hes having a muzzle and he will be neutered next month anyway and see how we go. He can be fine with Joe then all of a sudden change and its a bit worrying when he does because it seems to come from nowhere. We are upping the training too and trying to get Joe very involved etc

Little pain in the arse :shutittt:

aww im sure you will conquer it hun ... from what i have learnt on the forum, the males are more of a problem than the bitches

when tias in full time school in september, fred wont know whats hit him, we will be out everday but for longer than normal and doing some training :2431:

Hes getting "boy hormones" too which could explain why hes being worse again. I caught him mounting Mags the other day. That fat lump just ignored him :2445:

Joe will be at nursery soon too, his toilet training is going pretty well now which will make it lots easier and Stan is crate trained too so its manageable in the meantime. I've read male rotts can be a real pain when young too so its just a case of keeping on top and loads of training I think Its just annoying cos hes so timid with everyone but Joe.

Am sure you will sort it hun, Joe does a lot with the dogs, much more than an average child would, hopefully when he is done he will be better, and like you say your upping the training, crossing everything for ya :san15:

i wonder why it just joe he has a problem with, wonder if its because theyre two young males :thinking:

get joe into nursery for september and we can do some teaining together on the racecourse :2431:

Thank you, it got me a bit down this morning cos he doesnt normally get his teeth out so I was "surprised" :love: :love:

He got a tap across the chops and ignored for a bit and has been fine since

I think its little kids he doesnt like. He came from a home with kids, I think they ragdolled him alot, he can be a bit nervy. Hes perfectly fine with Adam though but will tense a little when he sees little ones on the park etc so we let them stroke the girls more and let Stan stand back and watch without being "pestered".

fingers crossed you get on top of it hun, i should imagine youre watching him like a hawk

its always bloody men that cause the hassle :2431:

It's more understandable if he came from a home that kids disrespected him, poor boy, but he still needs to learn that it's not on, you will nip this in the bud hun I am confident of that

:love: :love: :love:

it might take you longer than the girls hun, but im sure you will get there...
fred walked past two dogs today in close proximity and never made a murmur, so there is hope lol...

Thats what I thought. Were expecting this to be a "challenge" for a couple of years yet, with hormones etc and from what weve read about Rotts and young males, plus knowing other peoples dogs and thats fine, hes a great dog other than this slight issue :love: :love: :love:

Oh, and the fooker chewed my dining chairs the other day :2445: :2445: :2445:

:2431: naughty boy, I used Vick vapour rub on anything the pups want to chew

thats what i used with betty, vapour rub :2431: it works a treat... we never really had a problem with fred chewing, just the odd toy thats all
