Golden Retriever Discussions / Re: strong willed at five months
« on: August 15, 2005, 11:50:50 am »
That is exactly what she is doing, except now she has started jumging, (which she hasn't done in quit awhile) and actually nipping, as if trying to grab my hand.  I have read the above mentioned book and really liked it, but she seems to be getting more of an attitude.  She is now nine months, and doing therapy training.  I am ready to pull her out of that just so no one will misinterpret this and be afraid of her.  IS THIS A STAGE? Will she get better or worse ??? ???

Thank you for trying to help me and PLEASE contine to do so as I am getting frustrated with this behavior.

Thanks Nicki, can just picture you at your computer laughing up a storm.  You do have a good point.

Only thing, I would never make it with the models with the dogs in their purses....have only owned big, huggable, loveable dogs, LOL

It isn't just my dog that needs the collar, it is all that are enrolled in her classes.  Some pretty small dogs too, cocker and pomerinian.  I think a german shepard and rotwieler were going to be there too.  The dogs were not present at the first session, so she has seen none of them.

The collar issue is also in contrast about only using postive training, and never hit your dog (don't know how anyone would condone that)...it is confusing.  I will let you know.  Calling today to express this concern and if she is willing to do any alternatives.

I will let you know.   Thanks you all sooooo much.

She said it was a requirement for all dogs in her class, and it sounds like there will be some pretty small ones there also.  She works out of one of the local groomers.  I don't know what her methods are.  She just told us we needed one of these when we come back next week.  AND of course, she didn't mention all this until we had all paid our fees.

Hi, my six month old golden and I are about to start obedience class.  At the first meeting last night (owners only, no dogs present) the instructor gave us all of her requirements, one of which is they need to wear a pinch collar of choke collar.  Is this really necessary? It seems mean to me, am I missing an important point?  When we did puppy class and beginners obedience, we did not need this type of equipment.  (This is a different instructor).... any advice or thoughts please....???
I don't want to hurt of scare her in anyway, she is such a sweetheart.

Thanks
