Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 7:28 am Post subject: Apologies/Pack Order |
|
|
First and foremost can I apologize to those who were on walk and bumped into me and my two Had I realized this is where you'd be I would have gone later or another way. To all dogs/owners especially Emily who got trampled and barged by Bear boy As he displayed perfectly these are the reasons for him requiring training over excited and not showing manners when trying to say hello, just barrels in to get to play.
On a positive note my loony dog was relatively for her quite sane so very unlike her maybe she's ill almost like normal dog. She is likely to go ape when meeting new people/dogs
Finally did anyone else notice when John took his lead he immediately started to behave, was just like when you see Caesar on the TV but seeing it in the flesh was SUPERB Thank you John, proves pack order really works and how much dogs pick up on energy Sorry Marcella but you need to practise more |

hi jenny!.......no apology needed! it was lovely to see you out with bear and tala,.(hope i have the name right!)
i wanted to come over and see them but john had said that tala wasn't too fond of other dogs!
i just love bear and would love to walk him but i know i would struggle unless he was wearing a prong!...........whereas in a secured area i would justl lol and roll about with the big boy!
i am going to load up a youtube of a few newfies as i said to marcella about the helicopter stint and she was interested!
hope to see you soon!

Thanks Janis for you tube clips, I really need pc course
Bear loves you too as you make fuss of him and would oblige rolling anytime he got the chance Maybe I can meet you someday and you can walk him-no power walk Bear only does amble. Honestly he is normally very good ,not sure about prong due his turkey neck (probably rust with drool) and if he acts up using his collar higher up keeps him under control. As Caesar does if you have control of head the rest of them is also easier to manage. Have tried halti but he's in between sizes so need to get customized one just for him
Yes you got Tala's name right but unfortunately she has issues with everything humans and animals alike and is getting worse the older she gets, be 8 in summer |

hey jenny something something bear and i have in common!!!!!!!!!!!!...............neither of us power walk!............like bear i am built for comfort and not for speed!!!!
as for tala i thought she was only about 3or 4 not 8!!!!!!!!!! she still looks young from what i could see of her and the avatar!
i would be more than willing to meet up for an amble round the loch!
i have loaded a variery of clips from youtube! love to show the soft side with the baby and the rat/mouse and the strength of this breed! _________________ Cockapoo's...a little of this, a little of that..........

Jenny,
when Bear decided to go over and say hello when I was holding his lead, I was NOT prepared for what it's like for an excited 15 stone dog to drag me with him!
I could not believe the strength......... and the worst thing is, he was only hopping across to say hello, he wasn't even pulling!!!!!
I know you said just to raise my voice and tell him no, but I was so gobsmacked by the sheer brute strength he had I just let him take me!!!
I'm having another shot ...........! Next time we will arrange to meet up and I WILL take the Bear on!
Tala was fine last night. A short burst with the other dogs will only do her good. Hopefully we can manage a walk again! |

Absolutely no apologies needed Jenny.........nice to bump into the three of you.
A group from the dog school is the best group to bump into on a walk......everyone understands.
I thought Tala did well........from your description I was expecting fireworks when she came near the other dogs. She wasn't keen on me getting too close but over time that will improve.......especially if I have some treats handy
It might be worth joining up with us to walk part of Broadwood........just to get Tala more used to it? I think getting dogs moving in the same direction rather than meeting head on is for less likely to cause any confrontation.
Thanks for the compliment about me walking Bear _________________ John Thomson

Have you ever tried a Dogmatic?? They are fabulous.. and do in betweeen sizes, they are better than a Halti as they do't ride up into the eyes _________________

We missed Bear! Oh B*****r.
Basil loves walking with Trish's Girl. I think he and Bear would be happier out on a walk or in the burn or loch getting soaked. _________________ Regards,
