Default Re: Dog troubles.

Hey Bumbus,
We changed our TV provider a few months back. We now have National Geographic channel. We watch "Dog Whisperer" every day at 6pm AST. I definitely recommend it if you have it. In almost every situation, it's the people, not the dog that need to be trained.
It's fairly quick to train them to know who is boss.
You may even find tips online. The host is Cesar Millan. He is the one the stars call when they're having trouble. There have been several shows with various celebs. on.

You have to be the pack leader. Don't be afraid of pinning the dog down if they are being aggressive. You're not hurting them, just showing them who's boss. Make sure she stays down, until you tell her to get up.
Make sure you walk her a lot to release her energy. Cesar often trains the dogs to use the treadmill if people have one. He sets it at a normal walking pace.
They are far easier to train than people!
