I have yet to get the pinch collar but we had a successfull encounter today. She began barking and I pulled hard on her harness which seemed to get her attention and she stopped and laid down

Thanks for the advice. I think it is fear-aggression. She only seems to exhibit this behaviour with me -- not Chris, the doggy daycare or my parents. Perhaps she is being protective.

I will be looking into collars on the w/e. Right now I have her on a harness that goes around her chest.

Thanks again

Oh my sweet timid Bear has turned into a neighbourhood bully on our walks now. Up until a few months ago she would lay down and politely wait for dogs to come up to her on our walks. Now seh lays down and then lunges at them, growling, barking and towing me across the street . I have tried telling her to "stay", "leave it" and distracted her with treats to no avail. Any better ideas? She has turned from the neighbourhood sweetheart into a territorial maniac!

So sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Woof. May he be pain free over the bridge.

I agree with the others our Newf mix is perfectly happy with our small fenced lot. It allows us to play fetch with her and she enjoys just going out to lie in the snow. She gets 2 walks a day and the most of the time is lazy sleeping on the couch or bed.

What a great party Thanks for posting the pics! So nice to see so many doggies partying it up!

Koda is too cute! Don't count the longer hair out yet...Bear is half newf/canecorso and her hair was quite short and had a short haired tail until she was a few months old...now she is longer haired...and leaves tufts of hair everywhere
