ladydyver 0 #26 January 30, 2007 QuoteQuoteQuoteNo secretive story there. We met while stationed in Pensacola, FL. She got out of the navy and the marine corps put me in 29 palms, ca. She lives near riverside, ca, and I play hockey in riverside, ca. I stay at her place over the weekends because, lets face it, there's NOTHING in 29 stumps... er... I mean palms. We seriously act as if we're married... even the lack of sex. We sleep in the same bed (and yell at each other when the other goes on "our side") You know what they say about married sex 1st its hot and heavy then every once in a while and then it goes to hallway sex which includes a "F**K You" as you pass each other in the hall Maybe that will make sunny smile Shit, we act like we've been married for a long time, and skipped the good stuff... I am still in the hot and heavy area.....although, I am not married yet either - better not change DOC!!!!!!!!!!DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

bloody_trauma 2 #27 January 30, 2007 QuoteWhen it would bite me it would draw blood, i felt no shame in front of her or her family grabbing the bastard around the nose and squeezing hard enough to let it know who's boss. After a week or two it was a differant dog with me and with others when i was around (granted it was bad when i wasnt around.) It was suddenly my best friend, even over some of the family members who lived there. thats because you became an alpha dog to him... as long as a dog knows its position around others it will be content to be obedient... espesially pack dogs like GSD's and other pack animalsFly it like you stole it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #28 January 30, 2007 It sounds like you got a correction for doing something the dog didn't like. I didn't see the incident so I'm just going off of what you have said. My female will correct my male when he goes for her food, yet I can take it away with no problems. My male will correct the cat if it gets up on the table and there is food there. If you can tell the pack order in our house is Me, Fox (female dog), Sherpa (male dog), Mem (cat - don't tell him though). I would work on some NILIF training with the pooch, my male was very dominant when he came to live with us, I actually fed him every piece of food from my hand and he had to do a command to get each piece. I would definitely tell you friend, this isn't that big of a deal, I would get the dog evaluated by a good trainer (not petsmart), to see if it's true food aggression or just a pack order thing. Even true food aggression can be worked though it just takes time and dedication.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalesna 1 #29 January 30, 2007 QuoteYou shouldn't have tried to take something you don't own. You have to own it first, before you take it. You own it by being dominate first as a pack leader, once you own it, then you take it. If you want break the cycle, you need to move in front of the bowl and dominate it when it is time to eat, and the dog must submit to waiting it's turn (pack leader always eats first) in a calm and submissive state and only then you give permission to eat. My dog will sit and wait till told it is ok to eat once the food hits the bowl and we do it everytime. Humping is a dog's way of showing dominance, right??? So, in theory, if I hump the dog, does that mean I'm dominant???Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #31 January 30, 2007 Be very careful when doing something like wrapping your arms around the dog unless you are sure you are alpha. This is a big reason why kids get bit on the face, they think they are hugging the dog and the dog thinks they are trying to dominate them. Both of my dogs have been trained to tolerate hugging from children and adults. If I see a child go to hug my dogs I rush in and stop them as quick as I can. Better to be safe than sorry.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalesna 1 #33 January 30, 2007 So would it really work? I was kidding initially, but I'm seriously debating humping the dog now.

skycat 0 #35 January 30, 2007 He should be, but when I got him I wouldn't let him sleep on the bed and she got to, he had to wait for her to go in and out the door 1st, she got fed 1st, pretty much I did everything to let him know that she was above him in the pack. Since she is a pretty dominant dog herself she quickly jumped on board and kept him below her. I'm sure if he really wanted to be above her he could do it, but he seems happy with the way things are. Currently I let them work out the pack order only thing I still do is feed her first. As to humping the dog....trust me it's not going to help, it will just make the dog look at you like you lost your mind.Fly it like you stole it!

SkydiveStMarys 0 #40 January 30, 2007 She may already know that the dog is food aggressive. If the dog was as hungry as it sounds...its your own fault. You never mess with a dog while its eating. 'Cause well, you just never know, but in your case...I guess you do now. BUT I would defiantly tell her, 'cause you don't want her getting bit, unless you don't like her any more, then let her find out for herself. BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event.

stratostar 5 #50 January 31, 2007 QuoteHumping is a dog's way of showing dominance, right??? At times yes it is, like if it is on your leg. However most common is a "putting down" till submission.(watch Cezar if you don't understand "putting down") The way the dog sees it is, your just some flunky that shows up on the weekend for some ass from "pack leader". So your not "alpha" or the owner/boss of me, fuck off. As soon as you let the dog eat the food you lost the fight already. (unless your pack leader) Now had you taken control and owned the food dish from the start you then could have taken the food away, if you would show ownership of the bowl again. Ownership is easy to do, all you have to do is make the dog sit, dominate the dish by placing yourself between front of the bowl and the dog, put in food and don't move away. The dog MUST stay! If you move away and the dog makes a move without being told it's ok, you have to move back right away and body block the bowl and make the dog sit and stay again, repeat this till the dog will sit and stay with food in bowl till told OK. If done right this won't take long, my Lab learned this in one try, but then again I'm pack leader and not some flunky stopping by for some tail (pun intended) now and again. The most important thing to remember is never hit an animal or get angry while trying to train because of the energy your putting out is not calm and assertive, and they will pick up on that and you will get no where. This type of training takes time and only working with the dog a few hours a week is not the best way to do this. This needs to be done fulltime and both of you have to be the same in how you work with the dog. For example you can't tell the dog it is ok to get on the bed, if mama don't let the dog on the bed durring the week. If you keep working at it the right way, it will work out in the end or you'll have to call Cezar or find a new chick without a dog.you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
