Opheila It ain't over- till the fat- kitty sings     Barked: Wed May 22, '13 6:32am PST  Thanks for the input I'm thinking I should talk to her on the phone about training methods and what breeds she's experienced with. Something vague like "Oh, all kinds" is probably a red flag. Then since she only lives a few blocks away perhaps a brief-15 to 30 min-meet and greet with Callie. That way I can observe how confident she is and his reactions too. If he sniffs her and she scoots up the nearest tree... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Opheila It ain't over- till the fat- kitty sings     Barked: Wed May 22, '13 6:16am PST  I'm sorry you had to go through such a situation, things like that can stay with you for a long time. Fortunately the only loose dog as of late was a shepard that ran down his driveway unleashed and right up to Callie. I just held my breath not knowing what to do. He has never shown aggression towards other dogs. On the other hand if he did get into a conflict he has a mouth twice the size of Sophies The dogs owners came up to us. The wife was petrified, but the husband happy talked both dogs and I got Callie out of there. Left me rattled for the rest of the walk even though nothing happened. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > How Much for a Private Lesson

Opheila It ain't over- till the fat- kitty sings     Barked: Tue May 21, '13 7:00pm PST  I just need feedback. We live tri state so everything is usually inflated anyway...but how much does the average trainer charge for an initial meeting? There is a local person who has offered to meet with us for $100 for an hour the first time and $50 thereafter. Is this reasonable? I know people charge for their time, but if she meets Callie and is uncomfortable with him-which wouldn't be a big surprise, he looks intimidating as all get out if you're not used to bullies...or if she suggests chokes or prongs which I do not agree with at all for my dogs...does she charge me anyway? How does this work? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Opheila It ain't over- till the fat- kitty sings     Barked: Tue May 21, '13 7:04am PST  Buddy Wash Shampoo PetSport dog toys-sturdiest tennis balls we've found, even with punctures they hold together. Refillable lint rollers in every room OdoBan spray-smells better than Lysol, takes out smell of cat pee, even off wood and tile flooring. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

When the officers got there a crowd was throwing bottles and stuff at this poor boy. The dog was trying to run away from them, not attack anybody. One officer rescued the dog from the situation and ultimately adopted him. Like any profession, there are cops who deserve sainthood and others who should be nowhere near a gun. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Laws & Legislation > officer kills 4 month old pit bull

Opheila It ain't over- till the fat- kitty sings     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 7:39pm PST  My grandpa was a chief of police for forty some years and there is no excuse for anyone shooting a puppy 8 TIMES, even if it's rabid an officer is taught to disable or kill with the minimum number of shots fired. I suppose that schmuck is going to come up with that feeble "I was in fear for my life"...and they let those kind of people bear arms...

Behavior & Training > Think I Need Tiller's Help...Somebody???

Opheila It ain't over- till the fat- kitty sings     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 7:29pm PST  Thank you, that does make sense especially in the backyard. I already know he's in high drive when he's out there. If I just sit on the steps and watch them all is well, it's if I step out in the path that I guess he figures " Oh boy! Momma wants to play too WHHHOOOHOOOOO". So I just stay up on the steps and let them party. He's around a year old so he's still a puppy more or less. Sophie is about 7 or 8 and I can see how they do wind down as they get older. I just have to have patience and like you say, show him that he's not getting any attention acting like a lunatic. Ripped jackets I can mend, my arm ooooch...my son's adding another long walk with him at night too...might get some more of that young pup energy out my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Opheila It ain't over- till the fat- kitty sings     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 5:21pm PST  Judging pit bulls was a non-issue with me for many years since I was basically afraid of ANY dogs, not paranoid, I would play with the ones my friends had and pet cute dogs on the street. But I really knew dogs were were clingy and needy at best and totally unpredictable in general. I didn't really know what pit bulls were or why they got such bad press. I saw the scary images on clothes... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
