Child aggression...I don't know what to do.
drivesleeprepeat replied to brookitar's topic in General Border Collie Discussion
To me, it doesn't really sound like anything that a normal, young BC wouldn't have done. The dog park closest to me ALWAYS has people that bring their screaming, running children into it and I will never put my dogs in there then. Why? 99% chance their motion sensitive ninniness will have them chasing down the kid and probably nipping them. That's the main reason why I work on engagement activities outside of the park and never go in. It stinks that this happened, but is your dog regularly around children otherwise? If she isn't, personally I wouldn't worry too much. But if it's important to y -
Thanks for the reply, Vireyda! I guess I should update now that we've had Aero about two months. This little dude has made absolute leaps and bounds. We've really dimished the neurotic behaviors and have redirected them to a toy obsession. If I have to pick one or the other, I'll pick toys. When we got him I thought he had cotton candy brains with no focus or drive at all. After working with him daily and doing lots of enagement stuff, he loves to work. Who knew?

I had no idea if it was orthopedic or neurological. This summer he started dropping fecal nuggets in his sleep, so I called the neurologist for a consult. Two hours

I don't think I could find a thread on this one, but punch me if there is one. We've had Aero for a month now and most of his house manners have improved by leaps and bounds. One thing he hasn't grown out of is surrendering items when he wants us to throw them. If he brings the frisbee or ball back and drops it at my feet, he snaps for it as soon as I start picking it up off the ground. Or when I'm not looking and I have it in my hand, he'll snag it from my hand. My main thing is I hate worrying about him chomping my hand when I reach for something. I'm still working on his "don't" comma
