i actually came out the opposite. force was used often in our house (prong collars, choke collars and alpha rolls) and verbal put downs of us kids could be just as harsh(LOTS of yelling). when i got bax i SWORE id be different from my dad so i used (mostly) positive stuff with him. funny what an...

*nodnod* i feel like people latch onto other ideas if someone is charismatic or good looking and they don't stop or think. Here in the states Ceasar Milan is huge and i respect alot of his ideas (namely encouraging lots of exercises as a panacea against most behavior problems) but people latch...

I've been on the internet to long to be bothered by the sanctified lot. just ignore them, it's easier to do then with proper trolls. @Free spirit As far as whistles go i feel like they're just a reset. I know recalls can get corrupted if a dog thinks it can just run as it pleases. Bax went...

I have a coworker with a boxer nad heh talks about him constantly! they seem like such quirky high energy pups! best of luck to you! i'm sure he'll be delightful!

I'm glad you found what works for you! there was a time when i was in your camp thinking id have to give bax up he was so bad. its not a good feeling, feeling like you've failed. My thoughts when i decided to keep him no matter what was "if he's this bad they'll just euthanize him if i send him...

Bax does the "empty tank but still has to cock a leg for those two drops"wee to!

Paint me like one of your french girls. Technically an old pic but it shows up first on my phone cause i just imported it off FB to show my residents.

Sorry @leashedForLife i didn't mean to spawn another wall of text post. Lord knows those must take forever for you to write o_O. i know you weren't writing @me before but i wanted to post all the same to counter balance your glowing review of front clips. They didn't work for my dog. I did...

thats wonderful, im sure in a perfect world that works... perfectly. unfortunately bax is far from perfect and that worked like rubbish for him.

I write stories as a hobby and im still aweful at WWF :rolleyes:

ive always held that if he gets hungry enough he'll eat it.

i have pictures of bax's first(?) birthday where i made him a doggy cake and i recall it required a tin of wet dog food i think.

ostrich and vanilla flavored biscuits sound a bit odd O.o

not to be debby downr but mine hated cars and still does 5 years later. he used to vomit and drool but now he just sits and trembles. when he gets out of the car hes extra anxiouse and shy afterwords for a good long time. been working on desensitization for 5 years and to be frank i havent made...

bax HATED tv and computer sounds. i had to desensitize him to it little by little on low volume. what finally sold him on it was meerkat manor. hated me but would let me hold him on my lap so he could watch his show.
