Re: How to give a dog ear medicine
This video is a very good explanation of the correct process so that the dog does not become suspicious of what is going on - as can happen when the food is presented before and during the procedure. Here the food is always presented afterwards.

Re: help male boxer dog is people/dog aggressive...
The APDT ban the use of obvious aversives but *some* APDT clubs I have experienced fall short of being able to recognise or perhaps they are ignoring a whole host of other aversives - shouting, being too close to other dogs, being too close to other people, raised voices even, head haltis, manhandli...

Re: help male boxer dog is people/dog aggressive...
There are a few Mid to SW Wales trainers on this site. Unlike APDT (UK), everyone on here is certified force-free and use only the most up to date methods. http://www.petprofessionalguild.com/FindPetProfessional?&tab=1 I personally would seek some face to face help so you can be shown what metho...

Re: These dogs are impossible...
Then your next bet bet is to explain to them as nicely and constructively as possible that they are not meeting the dogs' needs. How old are are the members of their family? Would they come here for advice? Would they have a trainer out to help?

Re: Guilt
Suzette. Maybe your daughter has punished him in some form or another? Possibly? What's with the appeasement gestures if it's not learnt or associated with the examples given above by others as well?

Re: l-trytrophan
What's your case Kate? Meds are fine (if really needed) but should be with behaviour modification therapy at the same time.

Re: These dogs are impossible...
Anyone reading this who is a trainer and who understand dogs is going to be upset. I'm not sure exactly what advice you are needing or what you want to hear, but others may understand better than me. I think you know this but it's not a question of these dogs being stupid or annoying or whatever. Th...
