Oh joy, your guy will be hitting adolescense soon; has he visited you up the leash yet?
Why, yes. At 14weeks. I introduced him promptly to Mr.Herm Sprenger, and we've been getting along much better now. I say if he's old enough to bite me for a correction he's old enough to wear a prong, and I don't really care about all the happy huggy people who say he's too young. His sire is pretty handler aggressive, so I won't be tolerating any of that crap. Sorry about your dog. Very sad.

Hee hee, at least my GSD bitch waited until about a week ago (8 months) to pull that crap.
She was out and decided to go over and try to run the fence with my Mal....grrrr
SO I walked over and calmly took her by the collar so I could unwrap the long line and she turned and came at me......since she had only a flat collar on, she got to meet the ground....but I now know that she will do it and that she can be frickin serious about trying to get out of doing something. She bites hard, the little brat.....
She got introduced to Mr. Sprenger also.
Makes it fun......she is a great little dog and it is actually nice to see something coming out in her, since that is the lines she is out of.

Hey, hey, hey I resemble that remark! Though I would not tell you he is too young. I look for 3 criteria in dog handling, are you communicating clearly, are you fair and are you consistant. If all three bases are covered; it's good. The differences in approach are what make each dog and owner's relationship unique.

Hey! You left out the part where I said IF HE'S OLD ENOUGH TO BITE ME FOR A CORRECTION....
Leashed? Why not crated and by himself, at least until you know you have control?
Is this friend's dog a regular social visitor with your dog? Why do you want them socializing?
He is under control when he is on a leash. I am not a big fan of shunning the dog out of situations, as in putting them away in a crate, because they dont learn anything, but when someone comes over they get put up. I rather work through his issues (on a leash) with people who I explain and understand how to react around the dog. My friend completely understands she was at fault, but until you actually see a dog with high drive, everything you learned and researched goes out the window. She has done alot of research on working lines, but this was the first time she witnessed what high prey drive means. Now, she has a full understanding of what the terms involving drive really mean.
Is handler agression common? As of now, Rade has been nothing but sweet to me. Does handler agression usually happen when the dog is in drive? How would you deal with such issues?
