Haha Bob..we are supposed to get another blizzard Monday. So tmrw is our water run.. Gotta stockpile water in case the town gets snowed in again
They are still on state of emergency here..so I got plenty of time for leash fights

I have never seen such a spazz for the leash tho..def a bossy girl.. Met her match

Use marker training to teach that the crate is a good place to be in.

I think maker training is the best thing to happen since sliced bread for one reason because it avoids conflict by make training a game.

I don't believe fighting with a dog that loves to fight but if it happens then you have to do it right.

Agreed Bob..I am in the process of elimination in treat. So far duck jerky, liver treats, biscuits, weiners and cheese are a no go. But since she got pronged for snapping at me, she is going in nicely,

I plan on positive training for this little one, saving the prong corrections for the snapping only. She can self correct with the leash pulling, which she is doing quite nicely. She does seem to like the woofers, they turn her brain off a little bit, as her focus is high on it.
Its too bad people cannot be honest about a dogs issues tho, if I know, I can work with it.
We are in the process of potty training now, her kennel is divided to a smaller space and the bedding is gone. I was told by the ladies aunt that she was never out, and the son did most of the looking after, which resulted in many crate messes. So I am starting training as if she were a puppy.

instead of stopping training have you tried using a non reinforcement marker?
When she growls say "nope" or "Uh Uh" and then repeat the command until she does it then reward quickly.
GEt her to figure out your not going to stop until she complies and all the growling in the world won't make you stop. Don't let her walk away either, once you say it you have to make sure you follow through.

RC, she is on a leash all the time, to which I am standing on when training.
I am not a fan of repeating commands over and over again, instead when she does it without being told, I mark and reward. So if I sit down, and she sits, I mark with a good sit immendiatly. Same with a down, extra for going on her dog bed. She is a petting lover, so btwn her ignoring some of the treats, she gets a ton of petting. She would sit all day and get petted if she was allowed. To the point where she grabs your hand with her mouth, another thing I do not allow. I would rather she see her actions such as sitting, laying etc get the attentio rather than her shoving me around. For that it works.
She is a lot less hyper now that she has been demoted to dog in the house. With the lack of rules in her old home, it was a matter of time before she became overwhelmed here. Everyone is working together to make sure we follow the same rules, and she is a lot more attentive to our faces rather than zipping around like she is on speed!
It will take her a bit to get used to a leash, as people in town tend to open a door and let their dogs do their thing unsupervised and untethered. We are prob very lucky she is not pregnant. She will be getting fixed asap.
There have been no more accidents, and she is doing well. The only episode we had was when the kids got home today, and I didn't let her barrel towards them to jump on them. The kids are still to small to understand all 4 feet belong on the ground, so when she learns her manners, she will be able to greet them properly.
She is a quick learner, and is still a doll it won't be hard for her to catch on!

Ordered a dd collar..Sick of this snappy thing trying to bite at the leash and me when she doesn't want to go outside. Blizzard or not, I am not dealing with 6am poo's in the crate.. I hope they send it asap!

The DD collar can be an excellent tool but you have to be prepared to use it correctly when the dog needs it.

I will be Bob, I am tired of teeth snapping. Ever since she got corrected for pooping in the house, she has been a snarky thing. I think she is hating the fact of now being attached to me, and being on a short lead outside.
The prong caused her to be more aggressive so right now I am back to the slip lead, the blue one from Leerburg, until the dd collar gets here. I got one for Jazz too, will keep his head up during walks so they can ignore eachother.
Her blowout was trying to go after a bunny while attached to me, she hit the end of the leash, pronged herself and turned on me. I ended up having to hang her on the prong til she stopped, than I asked for a sit and moved on. I am keeping calm, but my arm ended up getting a large dewclaw scrape when she was clambering trying to bite the leash or my hand, whichever she got first.
The slip lead is great in the house, but too short. I need a 6ft lead for outside, so I think the dd collar was a great investment, and will make walks quieter without all the collars jingling
This is, what I get for taking a dog in whom has had to training period. I am just glad at the end of the day, her tail wags! I can work with that

*no training period..geez I gotta slow my typing..today was better, we have to stand out there for about 20min before she realizes I am not taking her in until she eliminates, last night was good, this morning better, slip lead is doing its job when she tries to head to the house, and no morning crate poo!
Now that the kids are ignoring her for now, she seems a bit more calmer, and is even keeping her distance from Jazz. We are going to attempt our first walk this afternoon, after the windchill goes down, currently -44c... At least the blizzard is done! The kids play van has disappeared tho!
She is a smart cookie still, abd is sitting at doors now, and looking at me after she sits, which works really good for her marker training in a few months she should be doing even better!

She is still learning the rules - as she figures out that you won't put up with the crap, she'll be fine. She does not sound like she has had any type of leadership or guidance in the past, and has had to rely on herself - it will take her some time to understand that leader is YOUR job, not hers.

Be consistent, be fair, and all should be fine We are going through some minor issues with Fennec as well - she had been allowed to develop bad habits in the past 3 years that I am slowly working on - one day at a time. They don't know what we want or don't want until we teach them.
