Well I took your advice and instead of walking her everyday because there is truely no place where I cannot end up running into someone, so I took a day and a half off from walking Imira and when I took her on the walk yesterday I kinda made sure we wouldnt run into any people on bikes, but mostly j...

Thanks again and of course I appreciate all your help and like I said before I want to do right by her and make her feel comfortable.

I know that I need to take it slower from what you are saying, but the problem is that if I take her for her walks everyday that with a German Shepherd she is going to need and there is no way for me not to encounter people, I know places where I can avoid other dogs, but people no way, so what do I...

I will remember that, I just want to add that my focus this week is not meeting dogs and have her feel comfortable around them, this week I want her to feel comfortable when she encounters people while riding bikes, jogging or just walking by and I do take her on walks every day and we encounter peo...

Day2 of trying to socialize Imira: Today I went down to the same area as I did yesterday, but I went at a different time today where I knew there will be more people and we encountered 3 dogs today. I want to focus on when we arrive at the park, she seems very excited when we arrive, scratching at t...

On the Be More Assertive comment, he say that German Shepherd can be aggressive, so the here was the situation: We where in the store and I was talking to the trainer and another dog came in, I didnt notice the dog, but of course Imira saw the other dog and stood up and started barking crazy. I grab...

I want to try to post each day to see if I am doing the right thing or any advice to make things easier on me or the dog. I went to sign Imira into training class, but before I did, I talked with the trainer and he got to see first hand what Imira does when she sees another dog and also my reaction ...

Thanks emmabeth I am going to work on this a bit slower then what I have been doing and use your advice from above about slowing introducting Imira to other dogs and when I am ready to take her into the park I will have chili with me again, but hopefully she will be ready to meet other dogs. Thanks ...

I will admitt right now I am confused about my dogs reaction, but please explain this as I stated in my previous replies. I bring another dog with me (Chili) that my dog (Imira) knows. Now Chili goes off and starts wandering to say hi to everyone, Imira sees this and go with Chili and Imira lets oth...

I need better feed back the what jacksdad did: I have a question though, as I said before I brought the chi that my shepherd know with me to the dog park yesterday and she walked with the chi around and even went upto other dogs with no problem, it is when she is near me where she starts chasing oth...

emmabeth, thanks for the advice and will take everything in from what you said, you have helped in the past with my friends Chi. I have a question though, as I said before I brought the chi that my shepherd know with me to the dog park yesterday and she walked with the chi around and even went upto ...

The first thing she does is wake me up around 6 am in the morning and that is when my day begins. Currently I am not working so when she wakes me up I let her out, right now I do not have a fenced in yard so I take her out. While she is out for the first time, I play with her and train her with the ...

I have a 1 year old German Shepherd her name I Imira and she is a great dog, she loves people and she was raised with 5 Chihuahua and she gets along with them great. I have been training my Imira ever since I got her at 8 weeks old and she listens to me very well and have very good recall with her (...

We did that to the roses because she would get thorns stuck in her ears and legs so that scared us, but these flowers not sure I would have to take a look at our yard to see if this is possible.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi everyone it has been a while since I have posted and a quick update, we lost 2 dogs this winter and it was a hard time. Diablo was lost because he was lost without his playmate so we rescued another cute little Chi named Loca and she fits her name and she works out perfectly with Diablo, they pla...
