Guest Anonymous Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I posted this on my aussie board, but thought i'd post it here also maybe you guys can add some insight.. I was Talking To Merlin's mom and aol, who was talking to Erin ont he phone.. lol you guys crack me up.. ANYWAYS I was talking to them about the problem with Cody starting to submissive peein' yesterday. They asked me if i had any other problems. and i had to think about it but AFTER Cody turned 1 i started getting all these problems with him. he was the perfect Puppy no problems at all ( execpt the kitchen chair incident) w ell after he turned 1 he started to get aggressive twords other dogs, now this is in petsmart where it started he was horrible, now with the neighbors dogs he was fine, our new neighbor dog cheech, no problems, people walking their dogs by? BAD problem, US walking them by dogs BIG problem we are still working on desensitizing him twords other dogs witht he link that Erin posted ( thanks erin! ) he also has turned food agressive with Zoey. Since the day we got them they ate out of the same bowl, they had some problems aw hle so we ged seperatly, they stopped eating so we fed them together again.. and then he started up again he wil eat and walk away and WATCH the food dish and as soon as Zoey goes nears it they get in toa full out fight i'm afraid someone will get hurt, SO we started to feed them in differnet rooms. working out ok so far.. Then he started to act up around the baby i watch, so he's not allowed around babies' anymore, then the other day ran out and scared the pee outta alittle girl by barking and herding her.. NOW he's submissive peein' he's never been hit or anything and i know that he's a very sensitive dog. but gesh.. he was doing soooo good for the longest tme and now it's like we are back to step one... any suggestions?? and did anyone else go through this stage AFTER puppy stage their dog revereted back tot he puppy hood problems? I would go back to petsmart for more training, but last time i was up there with lee anne, she told people that if i couldn't control him i was goign to give him away, so one of the trainers said if i ever get rid of him to let her know and she'd take him.. UH HELLO? NO WAY... ghesh.. please tell me i'm not hte only one?? no when he pee'd it was with justin who had just gotten home and patting him, and then my freind came over and both times he coward down and pee'd... i dont know what's going on.... any ideas??

Aonir Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 This is very strange. My Amaya turns one in just two days! And her agression is enhanced dramtically. She actually snarls at me when I tell her NO and then continues doing whatever she was doing wrong(like barking for no reason). Sometimes she just turns her head the other way, other days she snarls at me. She's being more growly and things to other people and dogs, even if they don't know she exists. Of course, one month ago she was attacked by two dogs, but she's getting out of hand now. I haven't had ANY food agression problems though. Quote
Cairn6 Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 What happens when they are 1 my dog started his troubles at that age too. I was told they were teenagers a bit younger then that but geez it makes me wonder if it's not at 1. Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Aonir, do something about Amaya quick, fast and in a hurry! You sure don't want to let that escalate. She is already challenging you and it seems that she's being able to push her boundaries out further and further. I know where you're coming from and I'm only speaking from the frustration I've had at dealing with a very similar problem in my Pauly. He's a different dog now than he was, but it was a rough ride. Get that gal some doggy bootcamp quick!

Aonir Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Right now what I'm trying is very firmly say No when she starts growling at me. That's when she turns her head away from what was causing her trouble. I'm still playing with her and she even has a yard to run in now. I'm trying to give her more affection since my cats tend to take up a lot of time. But she is trying harder and harder to ignore me. She does however listen to my fiance, I have no idea why. I'm home all day with her :o Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Ihave the same problem with Zoey not listening to me, but will listing to Justin all the time. she's getting better. I had to lock cody in a different room and just give her a good 30 mins just zoey and mommy time, playing, training walking.. try just giving her solid attention for a about 30 mins aday ever day with no distractions, lots of treats and play time..
