siberianandy Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 the problem i sometimes have with suka is he will stand and bark and bark at me for no reason and will not stop. i have got a video so you can see his body language. if i can't get this sorted then he will have to go cus its not fair on us or neighbours. the video is outside but will do it inside aswell he will even growl sometimes aswell the body language is the same. i will add the video later as you tube is taking ages to upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistyrayn Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 i agree nix.. first of all try to find what the reason is why he is doing it ,,,, but please dont give up on him so easy... all it will take is some understanding and some training .. maybe spend some time down on floor at his height , let him come to you and then gentle , for a want of better phrases , make friends, also , i know my girls will react if i use a stern voice but will respond better if i use a gentle voice,,, if it persist's dont give up , patience is a virtue as they say, maybe see the vet and poss behaviourist.

siberianandy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 he just seems to do it for no reason what so ever i could just be standing there and he will start i don't even have to say anything i am trying to upload a video but youtube is taking forever and ever and he will also growl and its not just the barking he is always biting as well we have tryed everything we are trying to get him in to the behavourist at the vets as long as it don't cost to much if he is agrressive he is going to have to be rehomed as i can't risk it with the kids.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 surely any price is worth it 4 ur dog im sure hes not agressive tho maybe he wants attention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianWolf Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 i would also say go at floor level with the pup. take her food away as hes eating but give it right back and praise him if he doesnt growl or bark, play with him and lie on the floor just so he gets used to the idea of someone around. and again take the toy and give it right back if hes being good this is what i have done and she loves me. also when she does get outta control i just pin her to the ground till she calms down. aparently the mothers do this if the pup is being bad. once she has calmed down i just make her stay their untill i feel that she can go. i never acknowledge the dog when shes barking to get attention because that will just continue to get worse if you do so. also if you cant pin him down just put him in the kennel or outside.. once you do that a couple of times the isolation will kick in and he will begin to realize what he is doing wrong, but do not leave them in there forever just untill he is calm and gets the idea of when he can be out again. again this is only what i have been doing and i have had no problems edit: by doing this you are showing the pup that you are the leader and bad habbits = isolation.

Mistyrayn Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 my wife's sheltie Toffy ..can be like that.. he is fine with me all the time will have fuss , sit on my lap etc etc but go to kiss wife good by he will bark and jump at me , then will bark at me till i have left the house , also does it to daughter ,,,, same as her BF comes round and he is 6ft + all is fine if he sits there minute he stands up .. toffy go's into bark mode.. never agressive just i think his own way, we have learnt to adapt and just controll it... well laugh at him at times.. im sure he thinks he is a mini pit bull lol but with his training if we tell him " down" he will instantly lay down and will not be any kind of threat.... so really put some serious training into him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex T Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 When Isis was apup she used to bite, so we used to gently hold her mouth closed and tell her no. It took some time but she rarely bites now (unless weare playing and she gets a little over excited). Also as mentioned above when she growled and barked at us we used to hold her down on the ground and make her submit - its quite funny know as when she plays and gets over exicted we only have to say no and she usually submits - whichgets her lots of praise and a treat. Good to know that some hard work paid off when she was younger! Only consider rehoming as a last resort - please try going back to basics in some cases and starting again - its never too late for a dog to learn!

CanadianWolf Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 thanks.. also forgot that your body language speaks mounds for the dog. when he starts to bark dont get mad ( i know its easy to do, im trying to train myself not to get mad too) because the dog will pick up on your body language and react to it. always do things on your terms release only when you feel that he has learnt. i dont know if this is a dom state of mind or not but for me it doesnt really matter. when my pup acts badily she gets corrected right then and there always in the moment never after the fact. i feel if i can do this now i wont have to keep on saying "no!" for 15 years or more. hope this helps and dont give up 5 min of traning a day is alot for a pup and he will pick it up... i have noticed this first hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberianandy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 to be honest i've tryed just bout everything pinning him down he will just bite at you and as soon as you let go he jumps up also you can't touch him with out the biting. he does this to other dogs aswell and other people hence why i will not be attending the meet he is just to anti social. any way the vid finally uploaded so here it is [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVkprrOoeZM[/ame] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 awwww he's talking to you, not being aggressive, they use their mouths more when they're little, kaiser does this with my now, you can definitely get through this we're all here to help and support you, come to the meet, would do him the world of good to socialise with others, he may pick up some good habbits?
