Let's See Your Dogs!!

Dang that's a good looking black lab. My black lab loves to lay in the sun too. Don't know why because
they get hot quick.

Black Labs Matter!!!!

 

We took our 8 month GSP to the dog park yesterday. In 2 hours the only time he stopped running was for bathroom breaks. Wow he is by far the fastest dog there. He loves people and dogs but when we call him he just ignores us. Very frustrating but we hope it clicks in soon.

 

Puppy classes!

 

Thank you he’s an absolute doof probably the dumbest dog I’ve ever met but he’s also the happiest boy ever never stops wagging his tail. Best dog I’ve ever had.
just a goofy boy lol

 

We have spent $1000 on training. He is having so much fun he doesn't want to leave.

 

Don't take him to an off leash place until he has mastered the recall.

 

Recommendations on invisible fences?

 

Short term solutions.

What are you trying to achieve?

 

Let her out to run, without a leash

 

Finally met our pup! I was 2.5 weeks away from being home when the misses and I got this sweet pup but I'm home now! She's my truck buddy and Lowe's buddy when she's not sleeping!

 

The thing about invisible fences is that dogs learn to avoid them. It may take a while but they do eventually learn that a quick run at the fence reduces the pain and they're free. May take a bit but they will eventually learn. Often, something as simple as a ball or kid that runs by is all it takes.

 

Got a new coworker

 

We had a PetSafe "bubble" fence. The collars will stop shocking after 30 seconds as a safety feature. My male Shiba was in love with the dog next door, and he would sneak up on the edge and sit there. You could see him jerk every time it pulsed him with a shock. After 30 seconds, he'd run to their back door.

Worked fine for our little Brussels Griffons, but had to keep the Shibe on a lead. Luckily we now have a big fenced yard for them to run in.

 

I just popped back in here to say that I love you guys. Another forum I'm on seems to have a general dislike of pitbulls. Maybe not everyone, but the thread got pretty annoying to even read anymore. I just ducked out for good from the thread. It's one of those "we've made up our minds and you can't change it" feelings. I guess my love of pits got the best of me, I should know better than to argue with people on the internet, I've been online for too long and my pitty love made me crosseyed lol.

 

Great looking pup!

 

Real dog lovers can’t resist scratching those ears and that chin. Give that baby some scratches for me.

 

Thanks fellas. She's an absolute doll. We love her so much that if my wife will be out of the house for a long time the next day, she gets to stay on the couch with me (she LOVES the couch) the night before so she doesn't get too much crate time. All she wants is to give love and get it in return! Much better atmosphere in here. <3
