Sarah's mom, in addition to alpha rolling 15 yr olds, I've often wished you could use a pre-programmed shock collar on them to reinforce their "training" when they are outside.

NISMO
If it's in the- house, it's- MINE!!! |
| | Barked: Wed Mar 26, '08 9:30pm PST | | | | | | The one BIG problem that we have with Nismo is the dog park. We don't know how it began, but he does not like to be "greeted" by other dogs upon entering the park. He would be in the park for 5-10 seconds before the snarling and attacking begins. We assume that the sniffing/greeting is the trigger. We have no clue why or how this became an issue. Crazy thing is, the dogs at the park are ones that he's been playing with since he was several months old.
We tried the Dog Whisperer stuff, but we can't "shssssshh" him in time before the violence begins. He's already tuned us out, and ready to strike. Catching him and correcting his behavior is a joke. he's too quick for us to tap his neck and break his focus. It's not a permanent solution, but we've exiled ourselves from the park for the safety of ALL the dogs.
What makes it difficult to isolate and address this issue, is asking for help from other dog owners. No one would want to use their pet as a guinea pig to help us and I don't blame them. He misses the socialization and play time. He whines whenever we pass the park. As I'm talking to owners on the other side of the fence, he'll beg and whimper hoping that i'll give in and let him play. I wouldn't dare, not for a million bucks.
This is the one glaring issue with Nismo that we wish never happened, but we're clueless as to what to do. | | | | |
