I even used it on my cats which might explain why they acted more like dogs than cats LOL.Anne-Kathrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594868706284668378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-1261331400874319562010-12-17T16:52:42.479-08:002010-12-17T16:52:42.479-08:00My latest rescue, Trevor, has become a real challe...My latest rescue, Trevor, has become a real challenge. In the last 20 + years of rescue I've never dealt with a dog who is aggressive toward it's guardian. My Kirby is a fearful boy and has lashed out a couple times at Trevor for no apparent reason I saw. I know dogs have their reasons and we don't always see the cause. However, just the other night I told Trevor not to lay in one spot (too close to Kirby)and Trevor threatened me. Luckily I had been working with the "sit for everything" with him and he listened. But he had that attack look that occurred a couple weeks before that did result in a bite (on me !). He is about 7 years old and was left tied to a dog house as a guard dog on a farm for most of his life. It's as if a switch gets flipped, very scary. I am alpha of my pack and will work with him unless he becomes too dangerous. I hope and pray that with training and love he'll forget his "survival"ways and respect me.Mary Wildnoreply@blogger.com
