My Rowdy Girls & The Old Dog

[Carolk9s]

Took the pack to the dogpark today. Candy hooked up with a small pitbull female and at first they were just running and bumping each other with a little yakkng at each other too. I told Candy to mind her manners. My little 'princess' can be a bit of a pill at times. Both girls were the same size and both seemed undecided, should we play? Should we fight? One of the two decided to push the run and bump up a notch, then Brittany decided to be 3rd dog in. No serious fight thank goodness but Brittany was very hardheaded about coming to me so she went back on leash for a bit and we did some obedience heeling, staying and recalling. All was well after that, Candy and the other girl did a bit more run and bump but were fine. Meanwhile, Jesse is trying to act like a younger dog, running amongst the group, trying to hump whichever dog would stand still a moment. I may need to take them 1 at a time if this keeps up. Kinda hard to keep an eye on all 3, making sure no one is picking a fight and the old dog is not getting himself in over his head.
Ok, ramble over.

I never have to worry about that when we take Duck...she's kinda like a loner...she's not sociable :roll:

I'd like to take my dogs to the dog park but I'm not sure if there are any around me or not. It's rumored that there is one, but I drove around for about an hour trying to find it and gave up. :cry:

I don't think I can trust mine at a dog park. Very sad.

Kika would try to kill them all. Especially the big Rotties. :roll:

OK...I don't get this. Since she was a show dog before we got her (almost three yrs old), shouldn't she be pretty socialized????

No, my breeder does not let her dogs play with eachother - her 3 month old puppy was already growling at Kato when we went to visit. When I went to the Shiba specialty none of the dogs there were allowed to interact either. I think it's ironic that my breeder is always saying what a great tempered, happy dog Kato is - but that I shouldn't let him play with other dogs. Well, how does she think he got the way he is?! Sometimes I wonder if the Shiba attitude problem that you always hear about is really human made. :roll:

I 'think' Candy is now of the mindset to strike first before they can jump her. She's been jumped by a couple of dogs, once in agility class, once at a trial and was even lunged at in petsmart. I also have to remember that shes got some sort of terrier in her too, she can be right fiesty! She generally will not start a fight but will IMMEDIATELY take another dog up on the offer. Once she even got between Jesse and a young male lab who were just posturing, she flew into the lab with teeth flashing and drove him back. I hope Jesse was not embarrassed.
