Karen Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Just had a thought, which won't help with boosting confidence but might just take the pressure off a bit. One of the things that the behaviourist suggested to help Rosie when other dogs come right up to her, is to have a pocket full of treats which you can throw on the ground for the approaching dog. It wouldn't work for every dog but it does for some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summersun Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi, how are you and your hounds doing ? is MK - milton keynes ? if so i would be only too pleased to meet you with 1,2 or 3 of my dogs and make sure they are 100% under control so you can do things at your own pace with winnie. ideally what you want is to teach winnie and the others to hold a stand off while you put a slip lead on the offending dog and deliver it back to the owner with the worlds most smuggest grin ever also - try not to listen to the "commenters" - they should keep their mouth shut atleast until they bother to teach their dog a recall you are the responsible one - you are the one with dogs interests first and foremost dont let them knock your confidence and pride in your dogs !

staffymad Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Not a lot of extra advise but I am happy to meet you and Winnie with the red duo half way a few times for walks. Snatch ignores dogs anyway or just sniffs them if they don't look and Ruby, well if a dog shouts at her she rather ignores it plus her body language when approaching dogs is 100% friendly from posture to movement to tail (and she is a diddy one lol).
