Unarmed? Are we talking a killer terrier/lab cross, that's not what Barbi said. What would be a good weapon for this occasion? 50 cal. or should we go right to the 20mm?
SchnGrl, that was pretty good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Hey Kojak, why are all of your posts leading statements, how about starting with what you would do?
Hi Barbara,
Here is what I would do. First, when you go to her kennel, don't make leashing up the first thing you attempt. Do some other things first, like a couple of commands. See if getting the excited greeting stuff out of the way before you even attempt to leash her helps at all. Also, I would get one of those leashes like the dog catcher uses. It's just a piece of polypropylene rope with a sliding loop at one end. You just slip the loop over the dog's head, and slide the loop snug around the neck. Then, Voila!, you have the dog on lead. It's a lot simpler than trying to clip a traditional leash onto the little ring of a collar while the dog is jumping all over the place. When you get good at it, like the dog catcher is, you can use it kind of like a lasso, from a couple of feet away, before the dog even gets near you.
In the meantime, really work on teaching her "Off". It sounds to me like she's just super excited to see you, and needs to learn a little self control.
I agree with the giving a few commands first to get through the greeting stage and then putting the leash on.
I think maybe finding a slip leash is a good idea. I used to work for a vets for many years and they were great for getting a dog under control, but I would not reccomend the actual poles that animal control agents use, they are a bit tough to use and if this dog is as crazy as it sounds it is entirly possible to break the dogs neck or cause serios injury. We were only allowed to use that "rabies pole" when the vet was on the premisis.
I have a leash now that I have heard referred to as a herding leash- It has hooks and rings all over the darn place and I can make a slip collar out of the leash and have the leash already attached. Or it can be a regular leash. Maybe something like this would work.
Just for clarification, I was referring to a slip leash, NOT a "rabies pole". I just didn't know what the slip leash was called. I do now, thank you GSDSAR.
They are also called Kennel leads L Swanston. Cheap. Work Great. We use them a lot at the clinic.
Dun-du-duh-du-la Bonanza....
I can teach you how to rope if you want. Much easier to learn on a stationary object first though. Maybe hog tying tippy with a pigging string would work too.
Ok, I am tired, nite nite. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
