We haven’t as during the first couple weeks on one day we waited an hour to feed him and he threw up bile, probably out of hunger.

He is mega treat-oriented so he recalls for high value for a while but then gets hyper and bitey.

He slept a few hours this morning since getting back but unsure if he’ll allow me this afternoon on the training course (mon-fri).

Went from this, to barking.

Yea we are trying to get him to understand that he doesn’t need to work.

He was settled for a couple hours but full-on heckles and howls as the neighbour’s cat didn’t shift as he bolted into the garden.

Pretty sure the other neighbour that works nights will be making himself a coffee as a result.

Link doesn’t work but yea, definitely no exercise straight after eating.

He’s currently on Natural Instinct Working Dog. Possibly part of the problem, that he’s getting too much good energy from the food and not enough outlet.

The last two months we waited an hour after eating just to walk him. Wake up at 07:00 and fed, walked no earlier than 08:30 but often 09:00.

As of last week with the recall/“running” to us, we do that an hour after breakfast. That should be enough time as it’s an enforced rest & digest from 07:00-08:30.

…hunting.

Seems like progress until he paces and won't settle for 45 minutes at a time.... but won't play, doesn't need the loo, has a belly full of food, etc. He's just a total scrote.

Trying to get this one to run after a toy and bite the toy not our hands is proving very very slow progress. But at least he is jogging a bit.

Get some lotion on before you get razor rash

This happened with ours and one of the OH’s hair. He spun in circles jumping while it flicked from cheek to cheek

I want to say “that was unexpected” but this dog has been one step forward 3 steps back followed by a spin around in a circle. So. Hmm.

low maintenance dog

= cat

Borrow My Doggy site is a hit and miss mostly miss.

It seems to be a paywall every step of the way. We signed up and immediately gave up because the site spammed and then demanded all sorts of membership fees or else they close the account.

Recall training be like, highest value still not as good as deer poop.

Yea nah slips have a place.

All I mean is I’ve seen enough dog owners fail to grab a collar on their own dogs who aren’t even misbehaving. In the heat of the moment it could be difficult to go lasso a frantic aggressive dog.

If you can safely grab it (by scruff, or collar, or ….*) and then get the slip over its head you are onto a winner.

*you and I probably could fill this blank.

If you are going to throw a slip line on someone else’s dog, whilst trying to catch it, whilst it may be fully aggressing another dog…. Good luck.

That’s a lot of speed and movement while you are under stress.

Any stress situation relies on muscle memory. The more practice at catching the dog, getting a loop over a moving head, the more chance of success in the moment.

If slip's the way forward, definitely get some practice in at home... you'll need the muscle memory to work regardless of stress/adrenaline.

Yea I was just trying to think of anything that avoids being caught in a police interview for damage to someone else’s property (“so you admit you kicked that dog? That dog is undergoing 6 hours surgery, and you’re liable.”)

The worst that can happen is it redirects his aggression toward the water /you... I wonder if you are happy with that.

There are supersoaker type things that are battery powered. I would consider something like that if nothing else because it's easy to carry and might give enough momentary distraction. But I would definitely consider things like the peppermint type options that leave the dog thinking "yuck" more than "ouch".

Rather than a kick, can you possibly carry something incredibly unpleasant but not lethal?

So, at the risk of scaring other dogs a foghorn in a can might be too much, but some kind of snap-caps or loud horn or even use a dog whistle to break the attention (if possible).

I’d ideally want to give the two dogs space at 100yd on-lead, and move them closer each time the cunt is calm. Try to break the cycle of insta-kill. If it’s not reinforced and made safe, I’d definitely try some kind of water-based deterrent to shock but not injure the cunt.

Need to get a racing muzzle but just got this off marketplace in the hope it will exhaust the dickhead.

.

Maybe I should resurrect this thread...!

Just bought an Arrma Kraton 6s BLX or something secondhand, for the dog to chase. Just need to get him a racing muzzle to protect his idiot face from the high speed spinny bits.

Hmm yea I’d say that sounds about right.

Anyway that Pachislo got sold on. I did every broken trace I could find, and had all other continuity, but could only get 2 of 3 reels going. Something maybe a cap was no good, and I ran out of interest. Sold it for what it cost me to a guy who works for a company that does electronics so I guess he’ll rip out all the repairs and do it properly.

At some point I’ll find the other projects at mum and dad’s that I piled up for a rainy day. This damn rescue dog has killed me, not a moment to myself for nearly 2 months now.

If I had some spare I would.
