Re: help male boxer dog is people/dog aggressive...

The APDT ban the use of obvious aversives but *some* APDT clubs I have experienced fall short of being able to recognise or perhaps they are ignoring a whole host of other aversives - shouting, being too close to other dogs, being too close to other people, raised voices even, head haltis, manhandli...

Re: help male boxer dog is people/dog aggressive...

Re: These dogs are impossible...

Then your next bet bet is to explain to them as nicely and constructively as possible that they are not meeting the dogs' needs. How old are are the members of their family? Would they come here for advice? Would they have a trainer out to help?

Re: These dogs are impossible...

Anyone reading this who is a trainer and who understand dogs is going to be upset. I'm not sure exactly what advice you are needing or what you want to hear, but others may understand better than me. I think you know this but it's not a question of these dogs being stupid or annoying or whatever. Th...
