it was good tonight, but when it came to the American bulldog it was all down to the woman that his behavior was changed around as she had to do all the work. i am very disappointed in the owners of the doberman, they have no one to blame but them selves.

Yeah, it was disappointing that its behaviour was described as 'worse than ever' several months later. I've yet to see a dog (or children) training programme that isn't actually a dog (or children) owner training programme.

Like seeing the good results she gets, but I reckon the advice about curling up into a ball if a dog goes for you is a bit "theoretical".. love to see anyone try that in real life!

And am I the only one who thinks that the sailor maybe doesn't mind that the dog wants to eat any house guests when he's away at sea? Twisted Evil

ok i see your point but it is actually a natural reaction, say hypothetically some one was giving you a beating, and you know that there is no chance that you are going to win, then you you will automatically curl your self over in defense to protect you chest and stomach.
to a dog this makes you non threatening and they should stop attacking. plus if you do that you should get out with all your fingers intact.

coz that's what the American Pitt Bull had! and they got him medicine that helped his anxiety!!
Saw alot of the pitt bulls mannerism that i see in keano only not that bad!! ie Keano likes visitors but the growling at other dogs etc!

Is he classed as a vicious dog!!!!

(in fact don't answer that question I don't wanna know!!!!!!!!!!)

I've got thyroid problems ................... am I vicious?

No he is not what I would class as a vicious dog so dont panic

Sheryl · Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2007 10:06 am Post subject:

So does my mum but she is!!!! .....at times!

But it might have something to do with the aggression, if his thyroid is low it leads to anxiety which in turn could lead to his aggressiveness towards SOME dogs!!!

John

I remember years ago when Rotties were getting really bad press - one of the things that scared me at the time was that they were saying that the rotties did not respond well to aggression but also responded equally badly when someone was submissive during an attack --

do you think this is right - can one particular breed react differently than another.

Keano is NOT vicious!
