LOL! If she doesn't call back, you should call her and say "THAT'S how it works to do training with negative reinforcement - how'd ya like it? D'ya STILL want to do that to your dog?"
               hahaha well said.  but she might not get it ::)

Transporting & Traveling With Dogs / Re: Dog car safety?
« on: April 13, 2008, 03:08:17 pm »
Hi! Brooklily uses a seatbelt that allows about, i would say, 2 feet of mobility.There are others that keep the dog completely stationary, but they appeared uncomfortable. You buy a seperate harness and attach it to the seatbelt, which then clicks right in to the vehicle's already existing ( ummm what would you call them?)  seatbelt clickers ??? Anyway it keeps her from pushing her way upfront and safe from injury if there was ever an accident. She can still lay down and reach her head toward me   for a pat :). It is really simple and easy. I keep it all attached and just put the harness on when she jumps in. We ride everyday and never without it. I was rear ended with my other girl( savannah) in the backseat and  120 pounds of bulldog went flying into the front.She was not hurt , thank god, but I learned my lesson! Drive safe!!!

yay, a whole bunch of shortbus riders!!!! lol. Brooklily is definately riding the social shortbus! My boyfriend gets so mad when i say that to brooklily. He is like  (in annoying baby voice) " no she so smart" Ya she might be smart , but socially she is about 4 months with no sign of a ticket to the big girl bus coming anytime soon. ;)  I recently got a magnet at Newbury comics for her that said " my mom says im special 'cause i ride the shortbus". Well its all funny untill someone who doesnt love them says it. Its kind of like if your in an argument with someone you love and someone takes your side against them, then you turn on them. ahhhhh humans.  Keep an eye on those neighbors . I think its a little scarey they threw food over the fence. How the h*ll did you teach your dogs not to accept food from strangers? very smart!

Cane is fantastic, as are all your other beauties! I love the third pic.... two ears up, two ears down.  You have some great looking dogs. What a pack! As for the couch....Is there such a thing as a clean one? Someone sent me an e-mail forward once where a guy was talking about his couch and he said thats why they call it Fur niture. Yours is lovely compared to mine.      ( which someday will get up and throw itself into the garbage.)

I have no great insight as i am not a newf owner. But I just wanted to say how much I love them ;D. Every single one i have met has been friendly and up for a hug! Brooklily even met one at petsmart,at this time Brooklily was really rollin' with her leash aggression ( getting better , but still work to be done) and the big boy charmed her in seconds. He had her playing and jumping around all goofy. This made me look pretty stupid, as I had just told my tale of woe about her leash aggression one lane down in the store. Im interested to see replies to your post and if there is such a thing as a wary newf. love them!!!!!

This is such an awful situation.Than ks to everyone for thier ideas and views.I hope this dog can be helped. I believe in my heart the majority of animals can be helped.My love of a dog Savannah(mastiff/bully/and who knows) was considered unadoptable. It took alot of work to let the shelter allow her to be adopted . Thank god they did. With hard work and love love love , sometimes things can change. But the hard work is key i guess.

To Jaz and Titan, Did she speak to you because she sought you out looking for help or did you contact her? is she just lazy or misinformed or what? she seems like she cares so much in the post.I can be such a sucker for dogs in need. and by the way are we in the same area. Boston?

To schelmischekit ty, you dont sound like a breed nazi. I didnt even think of it, with what you wrote, and im kinda sensitive about it.

Here is a pic of my baby Savannah. She was considered " not an adoptable dog" Thats crap! She was the queen of love.( as I called her , exaggerating a bit lol)

I saw this on craigslist boston. This person seems to be in genuine need.   I believe it was posted march 28th.Im not sure how to get in touch with people on craigslist,as I am a computer mess. Maybe some B.P.O. knowledge or advice as to what route they could take. My heart is breaking thinking of another pit P.T.S.  I guess when they posted it people didnt believe it or for some reason it was flagged. This person sounds desperate.

                       TRYING TO RE-POST, BECAUSE THIS WAS FLAGGED. God knows why! I am not RE-HOMING, I am looking for PROFESSIONAL HELP for my mentally disturbed dog. If you have a problem with that, e-mail me directly, or you or are otherwise contributing to the denial to get an aggressive dog re-habilitated. What person would do that?
______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ ______



I have posted about my aggressive Pit Bull before. She is dog aggressive, and aggressive to people in uniforms. If anyone remembers, she bit the mail lady two months ago.



We've since been to training, and it is my opinion that she is worse. I tried to contact SEVERAL behavioralists in the area, and cannot afford any. I am very low-income, to the point where I often buy food for the dogs before I pay bills.



I have thought about giving her up to a shelter, but the truth is I got her from probably the most reputable no-kill shelter in the area. They adopted her to me knowing she aggressive, but at the time I was better off financially, and looked into her sad brown eyes and thought "This is nothing stability, love and training can't cure". Well, one doggie college, two trainers, two years and all the love a person could give, and things are only looking worse. I recently found out by a series of strange events that she has been through a few shelters, and I feel that it would be unethical of me to not deal with this situation directly. This is not to say anything negative to shelters, but I don't want to bounce her around anymore.



I muzzle her at all times outside of the home. We do our best to avoid people and dogs (desensatizatio n wasn't working well), but when we see a uniformed person or a dog I have to hold onto her for dear life. So far this works, but I have nightmares about the day it doesn't. Would she kill someone's dog? Would she really severely harm a person? God, who knows? But I don't want to know.



I love this dog so much, I am crying as I write this. I am leaving state for a better job at the end of summer, and if I she's not more stable at that point, I know in my heart that it is probably safer for society to have her PTS.



If there is any qualified person out there, please, this is really the end of the line for us. I am willing to charge this to my credit card, and pay it off till I die. I can wash your car, clean your house. I don't know. Maybe I can purchase something you need as barter, but I really don't have cold cash right now, at all. I just, I am, perhaps stupidly, hoping there is something that can still be done. She is so loving indoors to all people (always hates dogs), there must be something. I've read so many books, I can't do this alone. I am willing to give it everything I have.

I AM NOT SAYING WHAT I AM DOING IS RIGHT OR WRONG, BUT THIS WHAT MANY NIGHTS OF PRAYER HAVE COME TO. Either offer us some suggestion/help, or move onto the next post. This is hard enough.



Thank you with my entire being, in advance

I would love some input on peoples experience and suggestions for pet health insurance. I live in the Boston area and the level of care here is fantastic , but very expensive. Im thinking of getting it next week and have been looking at , A.S.P.C.A. insurance and V.P.I. insurance. Im open to other suggestions, and also wondering about plan choices. Please let me know . The info is quite overwhelming when you start to look into it. I want to make the correct choice for Brooklily,and my wallet ::). Thanks B.P.O. Brooklily's mum
