freds off for training

well its all been confirmed now, deposit is paid and hes booked to go on the 9th for his training... as much as i am going to miss him, i cant bloody wait... im hoping that zep can start to train him not to be as agressive towards other dogs whilst hes on lead in the street, then i can continue in the same way, and hopefully we will have a reformed character lol... :2431: ... im also going to ask him his views on getting a little friend for fred, well for us really lol...

i have high expectations on this lol ..zep is my last hope to a sociable frederik, but i have a funny feeling that fred is not going to react the same way as he does when hes with me!!!.... i know that fred can be sociable after the initial growl and sniff when theyre offlead.... as the group walk we had earlier in the year proved.. what i want him to overcome is the agression/frustration what ever he has towards strange and different dogs he meets everyday..if he only meets zeps dogs day after day, he will become used to them... if you kwim??

fingers crossed lol :2431:

:love: he will be fine shelley
you prob have a new fredly when he comes home,
(if he wants to come home that is :2431: )

:wreq: he'll be great really



is'nt that the same time your going to Rhyl

:szd:

Will be crossing everything for you hun :love: remember we want a full update on your hols and Fred

ooooh i hope hes a reformed character when he gets home guys.... but im not expecting miracles lol... :2431:

How long is he going for shelley?

The secret is maintaining what Zep starts Shelley. (I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about don't I? :2431: ) I know you've said before that Zep thinks you're too soft with him. Have you toughened up?! :2431:

Just pretend it's me you're cross with! :san42:

Aww good luck hun :love: hope all goes well

:2431: ive definately toughened up on him bev ... absolutely lol... so i know its not true if they im too soft with him and thats whats up with him.... cos im definately not :nhy:

hes only going for 5 days jan, i know miracles cant be worked in that time, but hes only going in for the one thing, i dont want them doing all sorts of other other stuff, i just want them to concentrate on him and other dogs...then i can keep up with what hes learnt


cheers lynne i shall have eerything crossed lol

hope all goes well fingers crossed

have everything crossed for you Shelley :love: :love:

cheers everyone... my goal is to be able to take him to dovedale and walk him without any hassle

Here's hoping it all works out. Trouble is, even though they can be really difficult, we love 'em to bits & its hard to stay cross for too long.

Not easy though when you've also got a Tia to contend with!!

Maybe you should leave her with Zep instead & take Fred on holiday? :san42:

Poor Zep would run a mile!!

:2431: good idea bev.... fred is the perfect gent when its just me and him.... its the others that make im bloomin worse... maybe i should rehome them

the onlyh major problem he has is with other dogs

Sometimes I wish they could talk & tell us what their problems are but then I think, dont be daft!! You'd never get a word in!! :2445:

awww good luck fred im sure with zep training him he will be fine hun

:2445: very true bev


i hope so fazbo.. im pinning all my hopes on this

well its gonna take a lot of work hun and chances are he wont misbehave a lot with zep as he knows what hes doing...but at least he can help to sort the issue x

This is just the problem though isnt it? They never do misbehave in the same way with the trainer as they do with the owner.

thats true bev...im hoping he misbehaves with other dogs so zep can see just what hes like....

the odds are, i will go back and they will say, he hasnt the problem..i have....

im not the one who barks at other dogs though :2445: :2445: :2445:

:san42: Maybe he's just protecting his Mummy?

:2431: he can pack that in its bloody embarrasing :2445:

Wonder if Zep will have him at the Thursday training class to see how he is with other peoples dogs

If so Mickey will meet him

I have heard, don't know if it's true, that a leather lead is much better for the vibs than the nylon ones most of us use anyone else heard this?

Havnt heard of that sandra but i mainly use leather leads and
collars anyway but only through choice.

i've heard this too sandra, thats why the police use them, but then you get ceasar milan telling us its us that create the vibes around us that they pick up on, it's hard to know what to believe
