General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Help my Newfoundland keeps getting out of the house!
« on: March 30, 2008, 03:28:03 pm »
I really need some advise.  We have a Wonderful Newfoundland dog whom we rescused a few months ago.  Lately he has started pushing his way out the front door.  He has gotten out on 3 occations when our children (ages 4 and 5) have opened the door to go out.
I have been working on basic commands with Dexter, but when he's outside he doesn't want to "come" :(
We are very worried that it's only a matter of time before he has something bad happen to him on one of his "outtings".
I have told the kids not to open the front door until Mommy or Daddy are right there, but as they are quite young accidents happen.
Please any ideas?

Newfoundland Discussions / Adopted 1.5 yr old Newfie
« on: February 28, 2008, 03:22:01 am »
Hi, my husband and I just adopted a wonderful 1 and a half year old newfie.  At first when we were contacted about him we were told that he was only in a kennel for 4 months.  When we went to pick him up we discovered that it was more like a year :(
He is a great dog but I'm having to train a 130lb "puppy" which isn't easy.  He is always trying to put his paw on me which I don't like and when ever I come home he tries to mouth my arm.
I wish we knew more of his back ground but we don't, so I am asking advice on how to train such a big dog.
