nigel sanderson

I have a Jack Russell Terrier around 1.5 years old. I have had him 3 months
and I'm the 3rd owner. I don't know much of his history. I have had him
neutered and he hasn't gotten much better. He has always been a food
guarder, not so much around his bowl, but with special treats. I started
reading the wizard guy's manual out of curiousity. People don't have much
good to say about him on the newsgroups, but what I have read makes some
sense. But really, what do I know about dogs? I know that he has been
outside for the past 7 minutes and is barking at something. Should I go
see? Should I not? Well, I don't like to leave him out too long anyway, so
I'm gonna go get him. He has stopped barking now.


Oh and he also bites other dogs. What can I do? Can this be fixed? Or
will he always have this tendency?

If he's been passed around that much, he's going to have lots of issues.
He's insecure. He doesn't know how long you're going to keep him before
passing him off on someone else. It's stressful for him. It will likely
take him a good deal of time before he feels safe with you. Our little
pommi took over 6 months to feel safe enough with us that she'd roll over
and let us rub her tummy. And talk about seperation anxiety. Took us three
months to cnvince her that, yes, we are going to come back. She'd bark
non-stop whenever we left her home alone (we video taped this to find out
just how long she barked.. our poor neighbors..)
Reassure the poor guy, make sure he knows he has a home there. that he's got
his own space, his won toys, that you love him, that you want to take him
with you to interesting places, that no matter what, you're going to come
back and he's not going to be pushed out again. It'll take time and effort,
but it'll be worth it. As for his biting, keep him away from other dogs for
a while, and let him know that when he bites people, he gets punished. Lock
him in his crate, take his toys away, bop his nose, whatever works within
reason and without creulty.
Good luck.

Go to http://www.terrier.com
That is the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America site. You can read all
about them there. I have two jacks. Try feeding him all his meals by hand.
Be sure and check out the site and you can ask questions there. I'm sure
someone can help.

I hope I'm not being a pest,(I have at least one
question a week) but I've never owned a lab
before and I think my 8month old lab/shepherd
has severe problems.

This newsgroup made me realize she is normal.

Her major problem is biting but I'm told labs and
shepherds are both bad for that as puppies.

Tonight I went to answer the phone and she took
my arm and wouldn't let go. I had to hang up as
my arm still has puncture wounds.

Has anyone had this problem?

I think she gets upset that all my attention is not
on her anymore. (I do spend a lot of time with
her and everyone tells me that I spoil her too much)

She also bites when she needs to go outside.

Any suggestions?

let me clarify,
puppy wizard is a goody guy, and cares about dogs, and had pretty decent
methods, its just that he sometimes takes teh wrong approach to
replies(slightly immature way) when hes only trying to be humerous. overall
theres nothing wrong with him or his methods, just watch out, cause the
mails will keep coming form him, thats his main drawback, but hey, he loves
animals, and likes to help! cant blame him for that!

p.s., sounds like the dog is your alpha nigel, you need to turn that around.
dont ask me how, i will get criticized, maybe somebody has a better method!
if he wasnt your alpha, he would know how to submit to your dad i assume.
just a guess. only you may know.

nigel sanderson

It's happened twice. And less than a minute later the dog is laying in my
dad's lap with paws in the air. It is always with food.

he took a piece out of me the other day. It started with a growl and then
he ran at me and took a piece out of my knee. No damage, but probably he
was just testing me. I went back to the couch and he went back to his kong
(which was empty by the way) which he didn't want to give up. When he has
nipped too hard in the past, I have pushed his lip into his teeth and said
No Bite as many suggest.

I can feed him by hand and add stuff to his bowl and even pick up his bowl
while he's eating, but there is no way he will come away from his bowl or
give up a treat. He always growls.

He suggested I should MURDER my AGGRESSIVE dog.

Yes, the dog learns REJECTION for his attempts to

or under the tongue, dig finger nails into the roof of pup's
mouth, and twist or pinch ears, chin cuff, scruff shake, or
shock, depending on the experts you choose to follow. Our

I can't think of a better way to get bitten or scratched

with unpleasantness, but there are easier ways to to it.

If he has your hand, press down on the soft tissues
under the tongue. If you can't manuver enough to do
that, press his lip into his teeth until he lets go. (Not
enough to injure the lip of course, just enough to cause
discomfort.)

ANother thing that I have found to work (This also
works wonders with ferrets, in case anyone happens
to have one) is to rub Bitter Apple onto your hands
before playing with your puppy.

The stuff tastes terrible, and they usually

susan (Sado ***ual Fetishist) fraser sez:

Melissa,

If he won't bring something back to you, run away
from him to get him to follow you, and snag it from
him as he catches up to you. Also, never tug at the
object to get him to let go. PUSH a hard object (like
a frisbe or a ball) further into his mouth until he releases
it.

As a last resort, put your hand over his muzzle,
and press his lip down over the point of a tooth u
ntil he gets the message.

Then pet and praise a lot, but do it very calmly.
If he gets hyper and jumpy, do the whole thing
sitting on the floor, and let him crawl into your
lap, etc, while you stay reall calm and cuddly
with him. Then get to your knees, until eventually
you can stand without him jumping.

You are obedience training him, right?

A short piece of leash about 6" attached to his
collar is a good "handle" also. Grab it before
you try to take the frisbee/ball from him.

Then you have control.

Anyway, have fun with him, and keep us posted!

Not unprovoked, but still a bite. The snarling

"Once I was holding her bone for her while she
chewed it (something she loves). She mistakenly
put a tooth in my finger instead of the bone."

"The other time was something I reported here
because I thought it was funny. I was sitting on

BC dancing around me, mouth hanging open
with tongue flopping goofily. She tripped over
my legs and fell tooth-first into my forehead."

there was no blood."

"She bit you," he told me. "You have tooth marks."

Personally, I get a pretty good chuckle out of

It makes for a very amusing game I think.

I'm sure he would agree, or he wouldn't be playing

believe that his method of training weren't valid.

Perhaps I'll learn from my mistakes, but so far,
using the Wits' End, I have gotten my dalmatian
to listen to me, to look to me for direction, to wait
for me to say when.

I have changed her from an aggressive dog to
one who is willing to please her owner, willing
