Link 1294112     Barked: Thu May 16, '13 6:10am PST  Thanks Cohen, especially for the article. I think I understand proper socialization a little bit better now. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Link 1294112     Barked: Tue May 14, '13 7:08am PST  It really could be anything Alva. I personally haven't noticed anything similar in all of the people that he's shown fear of, but it could be that they all had something similar that I just didn't perceive like posture, eye contact, etc. I'm not trying to force him to be social. I'm just a little perplexed because I was told that he was good with other dogs and people before I adopted him. I don't think I was lied to, because he was very sweet and social when he first met my family, including my dad. It could be that he's still having trouble adjusting to his new environment. But, I was just wondering if he could also be going through a fear period. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Fear Periods?

Pippi 1273509     Barked: Tue May 14, '13 5:45am PST  Well, he usually seems okay at first. Then, he starts growling and lunging on the leash. And he's not fearful of all men. When my brother's friends came by, he was good with them. It's seemingly random who he is afraid of. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Fear Periods?

Link 1294112     Barked: Mon May 13, '13 7:34am PST  When exactly are the fear periods in a puppy? Link is around 5 or 6 months old, and has been very nervy since we got him. He's especially fearful of my dad and brother, though when we went to pick him up, he seemed fine with my dad. He aggresses at other dogs, which seems to be brought on by fear or excitement or both. Link is my first puppy, so I don't know if this is his fear period or what. How do I deal with these behaviors? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > So, convince me. Why should I not get a Border Collie ;)

Link 1294112     Barked: Mon May 13, '13 7:27am PST  Thanks Gus. It is funny how things work out differently than you expect them to. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Calamity- Jane 1139619     Barked: Mon May 13, '13 7:25am PST  Thanks guys for your input. Work ability takes priority over conformation for me, but only slightly. I want my dog to work sheep (my dream is to have a small flock of my own as well as trailing), but I do also want to compete in conformation. I want to be a balanced breeder, but I don't know if this is a realistic eventual goal to have. If I'm honest with myself, I'm not really sure yet about pretty much anything. That's why I'm here. To learn, and to figure things out. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > So, convince me. Why should I not get a Border Collie ;)

Link 1294112     Barked: Thu May 9, '13 11:51am PST  Thanks Dexter. So far, he's a really sweet boy. I can't really gauge his intelligence yet, but I did manage to teach him "watch me" and "stop" in a very short time, and hopefully I can teach other commands later on. He's kind of stubborn, but that's nothing I don't deal with when it come to Jane. Aside from the occasional zoomies, he seems to be pretty mellow. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Link 1294112     Barked: Thu May 9, '13 6:13am PST  Updated Link's profile . He's still new here, so there's more to come as I get to know him better. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Link 1294112     Barked: Wed May 8, '13 2:42pm PST  Will do Gus. I'm having some technical issues, so it may be a while before they're posted. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Link 1294112     Barked: Tue May 7, '13 8:33am PST  I don't think it was Jewel. Pippi isn't very experienced with puppies, and isn't a very tolerant dog to begin with. I probably should've stepped in before the bite, but I'm still unsure about how to let them take care of it on their own. He desperately needs to learn his manners around other dogs, but I don't want him to get hurt. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
