I wanna dog!!!

I've a very spoiled pug named Nemo. If I could,I would have lots of dogs and cats but I live in a apt.

I have a mixed breed that we found at the SPCA when he was 8 weeks old. He looked just like a collie puppy and was so cute curled up with his 2 litter sisters. We were 5th on the list for adoption and there were only 3 puppies. The next day we got the call saying we had been bumped up to #3! They told us he would be a medium sized dog, that he was part collie/part something else and they were guessing on the collie!! I knew he was part collie for sure but had to figure out what the rest was. As he grew I realized that he was part Golden Retriever as well. Now that he's grown (and he's a medium sized MOOSE) I think he may have some Bernese Mountain dog in him. His picture is in my profile. He is 6 yrs old and his name is Harley Davidson! He is his mama's boy for sure! And he adores my daughter to pieces!!! When he rides in the car with us he has to be sprawled across her lap.

dog lovers? i could introduce you to my buddy from vietnam. he likes his cooked over coals but never that propane with hickory chip flavored smoke crap. sorry, couldn't help myself.

I adore my mini schnauzer Clifton!!

He's cuddled with me now!!

He's so cute in his new military sweater

" I love you my furry man!"

I'd love to have a dog. I've had a few of the two-legged variety, but much prefer the unconditional love from the four-legged ones. They don't care what you look like in the morning.

I have 2 spoiled boxers..lol

Anybody know what I can do to get my Miniature Schnauzer to not go into an hysterical frenzy when he sees another dog? Only happens if he's on a leash. His bark becomes so horrible people stare.

I've worked closely with my 2. They know the word quietly, and quiet. It's the old behavior mod thing.
The Monks of New Skeet wrote a excellent dog training book that worked on my malamute when all else failed (they are very stubborn and wild). It's called "The Art of Training Your Puppy". It has worked on the 3 year old I have now who came to me with very negative behaviors from neglect. Biggest thing is to keep rewarding the wanted behavior- and ignoring the bad- to a point. They understand/comprehend up to the age of a four year old child (some more some less)- funny- when I keep explaining that a behavior is not appreciated they get it. Go ahead- laugh you guys...but it's true.
May be just the inflection or tone of voice but it works.

Yes, reinforce incompatible behavior. That is if he's barking and you don't want him to, reinforce not barking. It takes time and a lot of patience.
