I doubt that she is 52 lbs. Cj is a bit grumpy and has started fights with shorty in the past. Shorty is pretty Submissive by nature but when Cj would start with him, he would kick his butt. I would stop them, no one ever got hurt, the fights were more noisey then anything. The fights are very sporatic, they dont happen for months then one happens. Well a fight broke out the second day Moo was with us, I yelled no Moo was just watching. Then she grabbed Shortys leg and started shaking it. The minute we grabbed her back legs she let go. Shorty needed to go to the vet for stiches but now he is fine. Since Cj is the problem we now feed CJ in his crate and watch him more closely. We went on a trip boarded CJ,took Moo and Shorty they got along very well. Here is the question Im taking Moo to school starting next week, after her training is done which boston should I take next?

thanks for the replies

No need to get sarcastic. I've read your post and I'm sure several other people on this board (who have more experience with dog training than I) have also read your post. To be frank, I have no idea how to answer your question based on the information you have provided. Your question doesn't make much sense to me. How would I know which of your Bostons you need to take to school next?
Sorry I wasn't more help, but maybe you could state your dilemma a little more clearly and someone may be able to offer a suggestion.

Anthony,

Your post is very hard to read, mainly due to bad grammar, and that's possibly a reason for people not having replied. Not meant to be critical, just a fact.

I think you need to do a lot of reading on this site, particularly the articles on http://www.leerburg.com and you may get some insight as to what's happening RE: introduction of new dog with existing dogs etc.

I will say this.....You need to get crates for you dogs, AND, get them to dog training classes so that someone with an idea about multiple dogs in the home can give you some tips. Just a possibility as dog training classes may not have an experienced person on board. Do your homework on the classes and experience of the trainer.

Hope this gives you somewhere to start.

Regards

John

You sure did put this better than I could, Janice. I read the initial post and said "Huh?" and gave up........ Maybe that's what other people did, too.

You have to remember that we have no idea what your situation is. That said, I believe the suggestion about three crates is a good first step.

Not trying to be abrasive. John gave you some great material. Good luck!

so rude as a collective group this forum isnt for me. Good bye

Anthony,

On the rare chance that you may read this:

Your "moo moo" is a pit bull mix.

Stop kidding yourself - three dogs is a pack. Get three crates before one of your dogs gets seriously injured (or worse).

You are putting all three dogs in a dangerous situation, and you must understand it.

I hope you can look past all the "rude" to see the danger your dogs are in and accept the advice and take steps to keep all three safe and content.

ooo... that breed name got your attention, didn't it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Could be, may not be (Could be terrier x lab). It was just to tempting to write that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

No harm intended.

Anthony,

If you're still there...I'm sort of new to this board. I've been posting for a few months. I read way more than I post and do notice that once in a while there is a thread that, for some reason just start off on the wrong foot or starts out great and ends with problems. It's the nature of the beast...things put in writing don't allow for the real intentions to always come thru.

If you are offended, I think we've all been at one time or another, than I would at least keep reading what other people post and that may help with any future headaches that may arise in your household with your dogs. As recently as today I posted something that was not the right thing and it just came off wrong. No offense was meant but, that's what happened.

Most, if not all of the people who posted to you have a reputation for being extremely polite and helpful! I would give this board another try. They are very knowledgeable.
