Got a bitch who is great otc nice built little bitch ive had her near 2 months now i can take her for a walk but nothing else i can do for her i need to gain her trust so i can work her but its killing me i feel like shooting her bad.
Tried to worm her just before and swear she was gonna bite me proper wild sketchy dog been seriously abused or ignored.
Any tips on gaining trust?
I sit out back with her for about hour each morning feel like getting no where fast...
Move her in the house.
She will eat the missus cats..
Oh i understand. Try to spend as much time as possible with her. Eventually she'll come around.
Thanks mate im trying i hate getting grown dogs give me a pup anyday...
i hate puppies, give me a grown dog anyday, lol.
it can be hard i know. picked up a 2,5 year male not socialised with anything last month, didnt move a step on the leash. now its a totaly different dog who's about to go down.
u need allot of patience, getting frustrated will make any problem worse. monkey see monkey do can work! and jack added some nice words to my thread ""consistency of routine."
Although I am not a fan, maybe all these cesar milan tricks could work, there must be plenty on youtube.
Actually, she may NOT come around. I have owned a few dogs whose genetic hardwiring made them so undesireable that I really wanted nothing to do with them. There are too many nice animals out there to work with than to have to tolerate some substandard piece of sketchy garbage, despite how popular their pedigree might be. I have culled dogs out of my breeding program that men could only dream of owning, on paper anyhow. Quality is where you find it. I don't care if the dog is a direct son or daughter of Dibo, the world does not need any more unstable bulldogs.
That is my way of thinking to mate im housing her on deal i get to breed her i dont feel it is genetic just neglected she 4 year old and never been for a walk let alone a good pat i rang the owner last night he said she had been beaten on ill just have to persavere and hope to win her over if not she going out mid next year if she not willing to let me help her she is gonna be in for a bad day...Quote:

He took her with him for a two years and brought her back. The bitch never changed and ended up getting culled. My advise is cull that dog or give it back to whoever you got it from especially if it tried biting you.
I need the stamina added to my sorrells
How long you had her? I'd wait on it if you dont got shit else to do.
if you need the chain spot then i'd get rid of her.
I got funny news i got sick of her barking so i put a zap collar on her to keep her quiet next day she was coming up sniffing my foot yesterday she running round like a pup chewing all my shit up bit of electric shock therapy seems to have loosened her up a bit hahahaha...
That is odd news.Quote:

whatever works for you though. I'm guessing it is just a coincidence.
Yeah i been resisting putting it on her cause she not mine but after the pups the other night was dead tired sick of her barking so out with the zap collar. Not the result i expected thats for sure but ill take it all the same hahaha
