Dog sitting
Re: Dog sitting
Finally we know who let the dogs out.
Re: Dog sitting
So the dog has only been shitting in the woods back behind the place.
She’s a blue heeler/Aussie mix, and is one of the better trained dogs I’ve ever been around...unless there’s other dogs.
She’s a sweetheart to humans, but get another canine within 100 yards and she looses her mind.

Re: Dog sitting
our blue flips her shit at other dogs that bark at her from behind fences
otherwise, she’s pretty good...on-leash walking in the hood, or off-leash at the dog park or up in the canyons

Re: Dog sitting
Dang.
This one’s nuts.
Like, I’m explicitly instructed to take her walking through the woods and on a particularly low-use forest road, so as to avoid even the chance of encountering another dog.
The owners said at the farm they got her as a pup, the father dog had to be constantly kenneled when not working cuz he tried to kill every other living creature, but was still kept around cuz he was an elite cattle dog. They admit that in hindsight that should have been a red flag for choosing a house pet.
It’s a bummer, cuz this dog would otherwise be a killer wingman on the brewery patios.

Re: Dog sitting
shock/vibrate e-collars work great
we don’t ever use the shock function. dog gets a warning beep along with a verbal command, then a vibration if she doesn’t listen
good ones allow you to adjust the strength of the shock and the vibration

Re: Dog sitting
Nice. I dunno how the owners feel about that.
I’ve just been giving the dog the short leash treatment, as in, if she freaks out barking at another dog, I just pull the leash progressively shorter and shorter until next thing you know, she’s in the doghouse with Lagerald.

Re: Dog sitting
But for real I pull the leash so short until I’m lifting her by the harness and her feet aren’t even touching the ground, so she goes from aggressive barking to wtf I’m not even touching the ground no more
Re: Dog sitting
Sounds like the owner didn't socialize her correctly around other dogs when she was a pup.
Re: Dog sitting
Perhaps.
It’s funny, cuz it’s otherwise one of the best trained dogs I’ve ever been around.
They say they’ve had her to all sorts of obedience training and stuff, but she’s just always been an asshole to other dogs, like her dad.
Nature and nurture, I suppose.
Despite her attitude around other dogs, I’m surprised how well a dog bred to work on a farm does as an apartment pet.
