that is so dang true. Thought I had my Giant Schnauzer completely trained at 6 months- he hit 7 months and he lost his GD mind; I almost had to get rid of him he was just too much. He literally ate a hole through one of my interior walls. Like all the way through, he could walk through it from the hallway into the dining room. For no reason, there wasn't a door blocking access or anything. I never did figure out how the hell he was able to start that process, it's not like he started on a corner or something where he could get his jaws around it. By about 1.5 he calmed down enough to have him professionally long-term boarded and trained for a month. He was pretty good after that. Mostly. Sort of. Well, good for a Giant Schnauzer, anyway.
A. J. Protested my leaving him home and ate our stairs. I fixed that though...before I left the next day I sprinkled ceyanne pepper where he was chewing. When I got home his water was gone and the spot was licked but not chewed. Lesson learned.
Although my black mouth cur has never been destructive ( thank the Lord ), he did insist that he be leader of our pack until he was 19 months old. Being tired of his s4it, I smothered him on the living room floor with my body until he finally gave in. It is not in the least bit easy to submit an 80 lb, spirited high energy dog. After that episode, it was like magic, he was cool with it from then on. He has turned into the best dog I've ever had. He is always serious, especially when it comes to guarding us or our property. My other dog is the opposite, she's a lover and a clown. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk
my Giant loves spicy food. He would have eaten that like beef chips. Before I knew them, my in-laws had a GSD that went through the chewing phase and started occasionally chewing on the chair legs. Story is, FiL did same thing as you and smeared habanero juice on them...bad idea. He came home from work and every single chair was about 2" closer to the ground and the dog was drinking out of the toilets.
Roscoe has not been feeling well for months. I'm on the deck of my cabin reading on this forum. He comes out,lays down,ears perked up and tail starts thumping. THERE is a red squirrel where he is looking guaranteed! He never fails!. Gotta grab the .22.
Big burr oak,dense foliage and a few beers saved that bastard. Roscoe is now giving me the evil eye. He feels mighty proud when I kill one he pinpointed. Feeling a bit low now as I hate to fail him.
I have 3 little dogs Tug Gert and PITA. Pita lives up to her name every single day. Was out tonight with them in the back yard they were wandering in the neighbors yard and bark at the neighbor's 2 doors down dogs. One is being dog sat a big beautiful german shepard. Anyway Pita and Tug were by me and gert was closest to the dog when he started chasing her Gert was hauling ass to get to me and that shepard was on her tail, I was about to run towards gert when Pita flew by me with her hair up and a guttural growl. She cut that shepard off and nipped him in the face the big dog yelped and tore ass back home. Pita stood there barking and growling till I said let's go get a treat. Should have named her Hell *****.
Little dogs with a big attitude do not fare well when they test my male cur. I have paid vet bills for 2 that have tried. Where I live now there are no little dogs. If I see one, I make sure my dogs are under control. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk
Well dammit...., I let Roscoe down. He was "telling" me there was a squirrel in this tree but I didn't believe him. There was and it got away. He has some real bad days where I'm not sure he'll make it another. Ypude never know it when he has a squirrel pinned. Turns back into a puppy.
It was funny to see the shepard run away I don't think he would have hurt Gerty. Pita thinks she is a big dog she raises her leg to piss so she has pretty big balls for a little *****. She is lucky that she has not been exposed to that many other dogs, I fear what would happen if we had a bear in the yard. She did once run after a coyote didn't get close but she was pissed.
To be accurate, the 2 little dogs that got munched by my dog were Jack Russel Terriers. They think they are badder than king Kong. For their size they probably are. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk
Pita is a rat terrier chihuahua cross. She has a chihuahua head and tail on a rat terrier body, little turd blossom.
Roscoe is "yelling" at me saying there's a red bastard up there. Big oak but it's just to windy and every leaf is moving and I can't pick it out. He's giving me the evil eye.
Yep it was raining when I woke up and there was a puddle in the driveway. Dogs all gave me the sad dog look when we came back from the morning walk and I left the gate up in the dog room when I exited. I always say you have wet paws and you know it, they hang their heads.
