There are ways of handling that but I would need to talk to you and hopefully see it on video.
Lets table that till after we talk about the test I want you to give her. Having your husband put her in the crate is fine.
Wht is a good time to talk on the phone or Skype?
I will put a post up about how I modify the volhard test and how I like to administer it soon.
In the mean time I would like for you to read the two pack structure articles and take notes. Could you pm me the notes? I want to see what you get out of the articles.
Oh I would also give her a piece of lunch meat every time she gets in the crate. Lure her in so to speak and reward her for getting in. Read anything Ed had about crate training.

Strange how we can forget the basics sometimes....we talked about that you and I yesterday....I thought Ziva to go in the crate with treats....and it worked beautifully.....back to the basics lol thanks for the reminder but I will read the article anyways
I could go on forever, but it's time to exercise my high-energy, sharp, reactive GSD.
I agree with you, so any research should include comparative evaluation of the most information available, particularly those possibly "red flag" items which may appear contradictory at first glance -- Here's an anecdote from my own childhood 60 years ago:
When I was in elementary school my family had Standard Dachshunds who were very far removed from being a LGB -- Our dogs were loving & gentle toward everyone, especially children, but if neighbor kids and I played in a rough & tumble way, my faithful & protective Doxies would grab those other children & pull them off me (luckily, torn clothes & minor scratches were the only harm done) ... But if we had owned 100 pound Akitas or Kuvaszok for example, the outcome could have been significantly different, just sayin'

Please remember to call me before you do the test. The volhard test as it is written is not appropriate to give to your dog and I'm not sure that having a stranger administer it is a good idea. I don't think it is.
That is why I wanted you to call so we could go over it. If our give the original test to her I can guarantee that it won't go well an someone might get hurt.
I look forward to your call.
I strongly agree that some stranger performing the Volhard Test on this dog is quite inappropriate -- It could even end up badly if the owner tried doing so, at this stage of the game...
Just speaking of Akita lore, there are many horror stories from back in the day, about owners handing their 6 month old dog's leash to experienced instructors at reputable obedience schools (not "Petsmart" or "yank & crank") only to have the lesson demonstration result in a terrible biting incident

Nevermind.
No, you were right ..... there was a topic title change on one post ... then it reverted on the next one.
Please .... don't change the title of someone else's thread.
