General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Does your dog have a nickname?
« on: October 12, 2005, 08:21:13 pm »
Hello all, does your dog have a nickname or names?
Orion - is kitty.... when we brought him home he was the runt and only 3lbs, with his cropped ears and his little body he reminded my mom of a little kitten and the name has stuck. We aslo call him "O" and kitty cane corso ( gotta say it fast
Aspen came prenamed to us as we raised him for CCI and he did not make the cut ( low work ethic) we have just recently starting calling him Woo Woo also One of the things I am teaching him to do is to say his name... it is pretty cute!
Kia's full name is kiahali... she as of this moment doens't have a true nickname.

Newfoundland Discussions / Re: NEED HELP!! new newfie puppy
« on: October 09, 2005, 09:00:23 pm »
Hello, I don't know if this had been posted, so I apologize if it has. Seperation anxiety is a hard issue to deal with. My new pup had it when i got her and she is doing alot better now ( i have had her 7 wks) Couple of suggestions:
1. when you enter or leave the room do not be emotional, i would go as far as not to even talk to her for 3-5 minutes
2. whenever you do leave her, give her a high value bone ( stuffed kong, bully stick, greenie) when you return , practice "drop" and take it away from her. DO this many times during the day.
3. a tired puppy is a good puppy. excercising her mentally and physically. I train my pup probably 8 -10 times a day ( 2-5 minute session) and she gets lots of excercise with other dogs and one on one with walking.
4. leave classical music on when she is in the crate.
5. If you can have her sleep in a crate in your bedroom. ( I just moved my pups crate out of my bedroom a nd she is doing great)
6. If she is throwing a tantrum ( my puppy used to get anxious when getting out of the crate and all she would jump on my and paw at me, do not correct that physically it will only intensify it. Just ignore it and look away).
7. I would get the pup checked for a uti and a stool sample for parisities. Although it does sound like she is getting herself so worked up that she is eliminating. IF you can calm her down on the inside, the toileting behavior shoud get better.

« on: October 09, 2005, 08:39:49 pm »
I would go with a Cane Corso.. very obedient, good agility. MY CC will allow new people in only if I tell him it is ok. People that he know he lets in with a bark and a wagging "stub:)" I can have people come up to my car and unless they move in a threatning way he is fine. I can tell him to "watch the car" and if I leave, he will "protect" the car only if someone approachs. Most of all he looks intimadating, and that is the big key. And with people hw know he is the biggest mush. Out of all my dogs he is a total momma's boy ! He does drool in the summer though, and he is not that fond of new dogs that are over 6 months old, although he will tolerate them.
