Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Sun Oct 14, '12 12:10pm PST  I am pretty sure that the trigger is Nanci. As we speak all four dogs are either napping or chewing on a bone in our room with us. They are within 4 feet of each other. There is no other resource guarding. Toys and bones are regularly "stolen" with no issues. There is no guarding of food. Seems like we will just have to deal. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Fri Oct 12, '12 4:19pm PST  On Thursday, Kodi got in a dog fight with our roommates dog. There were only minor injuries. It really could have been so much worse, considering they are both heavy chested strong willed pit mixes. I dont want to push off the blame but it seems like Nancy is the trigger. Nancy had come home a few minutes earlier and had taken Brando into her room. I was outside, taking Bebe potty and Kodi and Midget were in the kitchen eating. Nancy came back into the kitchen to grab something to eat and Brando followed her. I guess Kodi had finished eating and wandered over to them to see what was going on. From what Nancy tells me, she opened the lower cabinet to grab something and Brando stuck his head in the cabinet. Kodi then stuck HIS head in the cabinet and Brando growled and snapped at him. Kodi snapped back and all hell broke loose. They went after each other (more sound than teeth) and Nancy just started screaming. Kodi seemed to have the upper hand. I rushed in and grabbed a hold of Kodi and pulled him off balance and he let go. At this point Brando went after Kodi and latched on to his chest. Peter, drawn by nancy’s screams, grabbed a hold of Brando and pulled him off. One stern command from Peter had Brando calmed down. Kodi had several minor punctures on his chest and cheeks. Brando had a scrap less than the size of a dime on his chin. I don’t want to seem like I am passing the buck, but this is only Kodi’s third fight (in 5 years) and two of them have been with Brando (in the past 3 months). The first fight was over a chicken foot. We gave the dogs a foot each and Kodi finished his first, where Brando was kind just playing with it. Kodi went up to Brando, Brando growled and snapped at him. Kodi snapped back and all hell broke loose. I thought that we would just have to separate with high value treats, but that has proven not to be the case. The really odd thing is that if you take Nancy out of the picture, the dogs get along great. There might be a growl/grumble but they all allow each other to take bone/toys etc from each other. Peter routinely keeps all four in our bedroom while he works and they just nap. It seems to be the combo of Nancy, Brando, Kodi and high value items that cause the issues. Is there any way to help with this? P.S. All dogs are neutered. Brando is 5-7 and a previous stray and Kodi is 5. Bebe and Midget wisely stayed the hell out of it. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > How to discourage "talking"?

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Thu Feb 23, '12 7:19am PST  My akita pitbull mix is a talker too. Actually more of a whiner. He has a high pitch whine he uses when excited or wants something badly and a grumbly muttering when he is irritated and a low "uff" when unsure about something or when he has a.ready been told "enough". I think he thinks I can't hear him. Lol. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Reaction to rabies vaccine?

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Sun May 29, '11 10:30pm PST  1 1/2 hours after we gave him benadryl, he is a smidge bit better. He was able to hold his head up long enough to eat 1/2 a can of wet food, an egg and water mixed into a slurry. 2 1/2 hours after, he was able to walk outside (unsteady but moving) to go potty and when we came back in he jumped up in the chair to sleep. Hopefully this means he is getting a little better. Does anyone know if CA allows medical waivers for rabies? By the time he would need his next booster he will be 7, and I dont think I can put him thru this again. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Reaction to rabies vaccine?

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Sun May 29, '11 6:57pm PST  FYI: We are waiting for the VIP vet to call us back. Yesterday, we took Kodi and Midget for their 3 yr rabies booster. Midget is fine but Kodi is having some odd reactions. Bouts of extreme jumpiness - flinching when he hears a noise or when someone walks by Rocking - Short back and forth movements, reminds me of how tv shows show autistic kids. Puffy nose - The area from the tip of his nose to the whiskers is puffier than usual. Excessive drooling - I took him out to go potty and he was drooling puddles. He is laying down now, and the drooling has mostly stopped. Lack of coordination - he seems to have a little trouble getting started walking or just standing. You can see him shaking/rocking a bit before he can walk. Has anyone seen these symptoms before? Esp in conjunction with a rabies vaccine? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Mon Mar 28, '11 9:34am PST  During the last few weeks we had Austin (He was adopted!), Midget started showing mild food agression, very low (almost too low to hear) growling and tensing of his neck muscles. Last time this happened, when he was a puppy (over raw chicken) we hand fed him while praising him and petting him and it went away. So we have started that again with the kibble. Thats not the weird part. The weird part is Kodi. He will eat kibble out of my hand, or eat the kibble Midget drops on the floor but will completely ignore his kibble in his bowl. It is the exact same kibble, part kirkland adult lamb and rice and part Taste of the wild. Why? and/or why now? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Puppy Place > I knew they were the one when...

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Sat Jan 29, '11 12:47pm PST  Simalar to the "you know your dating a dog person"... What did they do that made you think "this is a keeper" and "this is the one"? I knew he was a keeper when... I found my "not a dog person" guy asleep with my 75lbs dog sprawled on top of him. I knew he was the one when... He found us a new puppy (twice) cause he knew I wanted more than one dog, even though he was content with one. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Puppy Place > Wrong food, big problem.

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Fri Jan 28, '11 1:30pm PST  Raw chicken feet work too. They are available at most asian markets. Some people cant get over the look, but they are doggie crack. Never met a dog that didnt love them - fresh or frozen. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > I feel so guilty!

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Fri Jan 28, '11 12:31pm PST  My fiancee and I both lost our jobs and for various reasons cant get UI. So we are pathetically broke, living on government assistance and charity until we can get back on our feet. Kodi and Midget were getting EVO and Orijin and now they are getting Kirkland Lamb and Rice (with a side of allergy pills for Kodi). The puppy is getting Kirkland too, but that is a step up from the puppy chow he was getting before. I cant tell they are not happy about the change. Midget used to inhale his food in under 5 mins. Now he takes 15 min or so to eat his kibble. Kodi is eating even less than usual about 1 cup a day +/-. Kodi always has been a light eater but this is light even for him, but he isnt loosing much weight. Has anyone else had to downgrade for financial reasons? How do you get over the guilt? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Kodi Pie - CGC ESA Why sit when you- could lie down?     Barked: Wed Jan 26, '11 11:03pm PST  I say he is an Akita/Pit Bull mix. Most people are suprised, more because of his looks rather than personality. Kodi is very sweet and an attention who... um hog. He is also not at all dog agressive. At the dog park they call him "hall monitor". He hates it when other dogs play too rough, get too agressive or are too hyper. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
