aww padfoot seems like youv had a bad exsp with toby just look at the owners reaction thats why the cocker boys like that , unfortunaly some people dont know how to train dogs
the whole thing will probably get you out in your garden ( even in the cold
) to do alot of training with poor little toby
even where you find theres nasty or bad mannerd dogs you can make sure yours isent like theres
I know that on many forums they teach the ignore the dog routien ,we once tried it with a collie boy called glen , and he did what he wanted! till i started the no method
now i treat the dog like a kid and i have always had lovely dogs bar the rage case long as the dog knows your the boss and its not right to bite people then he knows where he stands
If you can teach toby the word no , he will understand whats ok and whats not very quickly.
My nextdoor neighbour has a terrier , she did the ignore taining , and at 2 years old it was still weeing in the house , dispite cleaning it up straight away . it was agressive with other dogs and it runs away.
I said id train it for her so off i went over every few days when she was at work . yes i trained it to stop weeing and to stop being nasty to other dogs with the simple no! .shes stuck on the running away and it takes hours to get her back . with the help of one of my cats
but it shows me that the method is just as good as any
she went away and left the dog with a kennel who trains dogs and she got him back as good as gold they used a simulare method . it still runs away though!
as for the attacks id report them its not on !you should have the right to walk in peace , its about time owners who have agressive dogs were made to go to training lessons , i always say next time it could be a kid :cry:
