I would much perfer training with Ruger, and am going to see if that is an option with Bob.
I never would have thought I would consider ever sending one of my dogs away, but this is the only dog I have ever had that I can not figure out. EVERYTHING is a game to him. The last straw was he went after a kid the other day. He goes to work with me everyday(vet clinic)and I was leaving work and he lunged barking at this obnoxious kid. Granted the kid was being a brat and was climbing on the counters and I feel egging him on but I could not get Ruger to listen to me at all. I had to pin him down and he layed there still barking uncontrollably at the kid. Then he mouthed my hand cause he wanted up and I don't even want to say how I reacted but I lost it on him. Then as soon as he gets up he play bows and wants more!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I know in there somewhere is a good dog I just need help finding him. If I do end up sending him there I still want to continue training with him as a hobby and outlet for him.
I figure there are exceptions to every rule, including the one about sending a dog out for training. The only time I would ever even consider it is with a recommendation such as the one Will posted (it would have to be someone whose opinion I trusted because of his/her level of experience, which Will has), and the fact that Will has actually worked with this man for a long time should be taken into consideration.
It doesn't sound like a problem that needs sending the dog out for, but that's something you have to decide. You never mentioned the age of the dog. It sounds like puppy behavior.
Yes he is a puppy, 10 months old. At times he is an awesome dog, when I can find something that interests him. I know he has so much talent somewhere in that never relaxing ball of fire. He impressed me so much last night when after work my boyfriend (who he loves) came up to my work and I told him to hide outside somewhere to see if he could sneak up and surprise Ruger. As soon as I walk outside usually he urinates then heads to the car. Last night he walked out got in stance to urinate then stopped sniffed the air, looked around and you could see he was working on something. He sniffed the air a few times then immediately led me behind the building where he was hiding. It was very cool and he got a ton of praise for his find.
I'm going tommorrow night to visit Bob Gaileys place.
