Snip for dogs?!

[detritus21]

Our black dog has had the snip. Started to become overly aggressive towards the other dog and wouldn't concentrate so started wandering off whilst on walks. He is great now.

My granddaughter's 9 month old dalmatian cross was done last month. He will still run off to play with children,bikes,horses and apparently small wooly things in a non agressive way. He bolts after squirrels, foxes and cats. He humped his mum yesterday!

 

I have noticed no difference but have yet to try to take a bone from him, previously he would bare teeth and threaten.

So it's okay for it to show it's teeth when trying to take food from it's bowl is it. Utter bollocks!

He see's you as second in command then. Simple as that. Having your dog neutered doesn't mean you don't have to train em.

 

I was giving my experience to Pete.

 

Agreed about the training but he's not my dog, I see him at weekends and there's a limit to what I can do. He responds to me better than most but considers me from another pack. I expect him to defend his territory.

 

Running off is unnacceptable and has not changed with the snip but he does eventually return and has never got out of sight.

 

He's a great character and as enjoyable to walk with as my two dogs were.

Mick we all know it's unnacceptible for a dog to challenge it's master but predator made a general observation about my whole post, not the specific point you picked on, you were wrong in this because he is no problem with his food bowl, I was referring to taking a bone from him outside, which is similarly unacceptible.

 

He needs more work than a young girl can give him but I have never understood the workings of a female mind which is why I have become the compleat misogynist. I would not have advised a girl about to start college to have a new dog at all let alone one from a large breed.

Get rid of the dog and get a budgie would be my advice. You both sound like budgie types.....

Snippy snippy all the way ! The transformation was pretty immediate in my dog.. The very next day I cought him trying to wonder ... Called him and he came back straight away , he would never of done that before .with age he gets better but he was turning in to a nightmare at around 7months if I opened the car door he would bolt and not come back often across busy roads.. I can leave the door open and tell him to stay over the last few weeks and he won't move now.
