| My Dog Is Too Well-Behaved
One of my dogs is a rescued lab mix named Jake. He bit humans twice and attacked one dog before I signed the papers on him. He was becoming a "liability" for the dog rescue organization I fostered with because you have to disclose a dog's bite history. And he was abused, so you can get an idea of how messed up he was when he came here.
He's been great since we've had him and we've really worked with his dog aggression and fear, taught him it's not his job to protect the pack, it's ours, etc and so on.
I train dogs as a second job. We tried to use my giant schnauzer (109 lbs) for a dog-aggressive dog, but when we tried to use him, he wasn't dominant enough to correct the dog for misbehavior. So today, we tried Jake.
Apparently, I've taught Jake too well that he has nothing to fear and he's not in charge of when to protect the pack,etc because he wouldn't correct this dog-aggressive dog either. This client's dog was at the end of his leash snarling, growling and Jake and Jake totally ignored him. I'm proud of Jake, but we needed him to be a little naughty today.
Dog psychology analyzing tells me that he trusts his alpha (me) so much, that he doesn't need to worry about other dogs or people regardless of how aggressive they're acting.
Just a cute little story I though you guys would enjoy! |
