Well you all know that when Misty reached around 18mths?? (I think), a dog lunged at her unexpectedly, then within a short space of time she was attacked by a few dogs and her whole personality changed, she went from loving everyone and everything to really quite aggressive.

We worked and worked on her and had her not to bad, she could still be grumpy but so long as I put my foot down and introduced her prop she was Ok with them, you saw the pics down the river the other day, she was with strange dogs and fine.

Well since then she has started reverting back to her bad ways, and had a wobbler with several dogs. She even had a go at dogs she has met (but not played with)

So I am confused, why the sudden step backwards?

Nothing I can think of has changed :thinking: other than we did bump into one of the dogs that once attacked her on the way back from the river, but he didn't come anywhere near her though.

Any idea's?

how old is she now sange? maybe you just need to start a bit of training with her again, like you did when she first had this problem, she may need a refresher course lol... im no expert though hun :nhy:

She will be 3 in November

BB has been a really good boy recently but if he sees a jack russell.... that all goes out the fookin window! He remembers what little ankle biter did it!
Thats what he was attacked with on a couple of occassions :san41: he was fine with other dogs before that happened

:thinking: wish they could talk, so we could understand them.

how much easier would that make training.... ...

I want the Dog whisperer to see her

i cant wait for fred to go training next month... :2431: .. when we move im going to make sure its near someone who knows everything about dogs

im hoping and praying that fred learns a little from training... and im hoping zep takes me out on a walk to meet different dogs so i can see for myself what i have to keep doing to maintain the training....

hun she may just be testing the waters and your leadership by the sounds you may have laxed a lil since ellie came? just with being busy with her

either way get on top of her like you did last time and let her know in no way is acceptable so she cant get away with it

sometimes there is no real explanation hun they are just being dogs *a preditor* but as long as she knows you wont allow it you will be fine

youhave sorted her b4 im sure you will again :love:

Thanks Fazza, I will do my best with her again hun, maybe I have been a bit over loving to all of them since Ellie has come so that they don't feel left out

Now she is fully accepted, I will get back to normal :love: thank you, have given you rep for your help

:2879: woohoo i got rep :san42:

yea we do over compensate but sometimes can have oppersite effect hun so just keep on top of her not letting her get away with anything harsh as it sounds nothing comes for free ect ect

you know wat your doing hun :love:

Will apply Nothing in life for free again try and get her back in her place
