Dog aggression, is she hopeless?
Well my female American Bullldog/ Border Collie mix has severe aggression towards other dogs and people sometimes. She was fine as a puppy but once she was about a year she got really aggressive.
She started attacking other dogs at the dog run. She’d be fine until a bone or ball came out and then she’d fight the other dogs to get the item even if it wasnt hers. Or if I had her at the dog run and another dog came by me she’d stop whatever she was doing and charge at the dog and attack it. Needless to say I stopped taking her to the dog run.
My vet said that I should try getting another dog because she seemed to be fine with puppies. So the vet said if I got another dog that she’d be able to grow with it and get used to being with other dogs.
She was fine with the puppy at first but she started attacking him anytime he’d go near her food, any bones, any toys, or if he’d try to go near me. We started seperatin them because I can’t train him when she is always attacking him when I’m trying to work with him. That seemed to work well. I kept them seperated unless there was no food, toys, or bones anywhere. And I wouldn’t pay individual attention to either one in particular.
Now the last 3 days she’s been attacking him for no reason. She’ll just charge him and attack him out of the blue. And when I’m saying she’s "attacking" I mean drawing blood even when the puppy is laying on his back giving up. And she just keeps going at him. I pull her away and she’ll charge at him. I keep having to take the puppy to the vet because so far shes bit open his face and it formed an absess, she bit a chunk out of the tip of his ear, tore up his leg, and bit open his lip. I try to pull them apart before any damage but she doesn’t let go and keeps attacking.
She’s ussually good with people during walks unless someone gets within 3 feet of me, then stands between me and the person and growls. I don’t know if she’d actually attack because most people stop approaching at this point.
She means sooo much to me and the thought of putting her to sleep isn’t an option. I was planning on just keeping her and the puppy seperated almost all the time until he’s full grown because he’ll be very large and the vet said that should help.
The problem now though, besides everything I listed is the fact that I found out a little over a month that we’re having a baby. And I’m afraid that she’ll be jealous of the baby and attack it if it touches any of the dog stuff. I’ve never seem her around young kids so I don’t know how she’d react. She was fine with my younger siblings but they were 11 and 12 so they weren’t very young.
Is she hopeless? She saved my life and was the only thing that got me through my boyfriends suicide in 2007 and I can’t just get rid of her or out her down. Please help and no mean comments please I really just want serious answers.
She went through multiple obedience classes and has never done anything to me. I can touch her toys, take food out of her mouth without any problems. I’m actually the only one she listens to. And she’s been with me 24/7 since I got her and is very submissive towards me. Anytime I yell at her she automatically rolls unto her back is submission. And I’ve had trainers try to work with her but they are impressed by how well trained she is and can’t figure out the problem.
She’s currently 1 1/2 years old. She was fine for the first year. I moved out into an apartment for about 4 months and she stayed with my parents for four months and I got her back 2 months ago and the aggression started. So I’m not sure what happened during those 4 months but that’s when she changed.

Stop Your Chewing Dog
infosharenow.com ===== Stop Your Chewing Dog. Free dog training guide shows you how to stop your dog from chewing plus how to manage many other common dog issues. Chewing is natural, starting from puppies all the way to a dog. Dogs think that chewing is normal. However, it is not necessarily correct. If you notice that your dog has problems with chewing, you will need to correct the problem as soon as you notice it. There are some dogs that will chew anything that they can get their teeth on. That includes shoes, clothes and furniture. Of course, these are things that you would rather them keep away from. Its not a good feeling to have to keep buying replacements.

My 7 month old dog pulls on her lead. Please advise me!!?
I have a lovely 7 month old collie cross.She is the naughtiest dog ever. She chewed my clothes, stole the Sunday roast, pooed all over my son’s bedroom and dug up the lounge carpet on her first 2 days with us. We have now had her 5 weeks and toilet trained her, bought her a crate and taught her some good manners. Now she is my little angel. But on a lead she is a devil. I walk her on the left and stop everytime she pulls. Am i being impatient or is there a better method. She is on a choke lead. I do not want to put her on a halty until i have tried all avenues. She also is easily distracted by other people and dogs, she gets excited and pulls even more. Any advice would be welcome as I would like to enjoy our walks instead of dred them.
Thank you for your responses, you all had valid points. I will be trying the queaky toy to distract her.
As for the choke lead, bought her a collar that sits under the choke lead that keeps it in place, but she would rather throttle herself than walk nicely. Strangely, she always stops when i do, as soon as she realises i have stopped walking so does she. But then attempt to gallop off, front legs pawing the air when i start again. She is not spayed as yet, which i look forward to. I will give her until a month after spaying to give her a chance to settle down and then opt for a good harness or halty. Thank you.
I have just checked out the web sites you kindly recommended and the collars are good. With a halty, it goes over the dogs nose and keeps the head up to stop the dog from pulling forward. I like the look of the illusion and the collar with leg straps. They look better and more comfortable than the halty.
Thank you so much for your advice.

How to stop my dog's aggressive behaviour with other dogs when feeding?
I have a 16 month old Border Collie who is generally very good natured and gets on well with all dogs.
The problem arises with food and other dogs. She is very well trained to sit and stay when I feed her but when other dogs are around and I go to feed them she snarls and goes for them. Today a friend went to her food container and she actually bit him – I was mortified!
Can anyone give me advice on how to stop this aggressive behaviour, I would be so grateful for any help to stop this.

House-breaking a shelter dog?
My dog is almost 2 and not house-trained. We bought him a chime for the door and I show him how to use it each time he goes out and I praise him when he goes. He HATES the crate so if we confine him it is in two long connected hallways for no longer than 8 hours and usually for less. He gets AT LEAST 30 min – 1 hour of hard play every day and we are very attentive to him. Does anyone have any pointers for house training a shelter dog? (He is a smart Border Collie/Lab/Golden Retriever mix)… He is fabulous in every other way – could not ask for a better dog. Just need whatever help I can get with house-breaking and how long does it take? on average?
