It's like you walked into their backyard uninvited. The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TideRunner Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Wow! I would have never guessed that a Brittany would behave that way. Never saw a hyper one or a pup that would bounce off walls. This was to be expected of a youngster. New sights and sounds.But rest easy,by time he six years old he’ll outgrow this behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandflee Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 best way to train a dog how to behave is with another dog. Always felt like our Bella taught Rebel how to be a good dog and Rebel has trained Brooke If you try to change it, you will ruin it. Try to hold it, and you will lose it.

Eagles Dare Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Took my previous Springer a bunch of years ago. Class was 100% treat driven. Do this, get a treat. Over and over. After a couple she gave zero effs about getting a treat. Just wanted to play with the other dogs. I gave up after the second one went the same way. Obedience school dropout. Oh the shame. hobobob, MikeMc and slicedcornbread 3 I'll have mine on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive reinforcement works best with food motivated dogs like Labs, that will scarf down anything, and can never eat enough. Dogs not as food oriented have to find other way to to reinforce desired behavior, maybe with a toy, or game the dog likes. Ultimately, the goal is to make doing what you want a more favorable option than whatever is going through Fido's mind at the time. Ot, you can beat the dog like a rented mule every time it acts like a dog. Material abundance without character is the path of destruction. -Thomas JeffersonThere are two ways to be fooled.

Had a lab/pointer mix , great dog, could find a bird, tree squirrels, rabbits and retrieve, but when he pointed a bird he would turn his head look at you , turn his head back and flush the birds then jump after them, once. you had to wait until he landed to shoot. Other thanthat he Was perfect in every other way, if you turned the key in the gun case at 4am he'd be behind you before you got the gun out, if I was going to go dear hunting I'd have to put the gun in the truck the night before lol No amount of giving him treats or beating him in the head would make him stop lol LBI SurfRat 1 how lucky am i to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard Shooting a coon in a 60ft tree out of a boat in the dark holding a flashlight can be tricky. ..

I got him when he was 6weeks old, had him sitting and all that in a few days, he was house broke in a week or so, smartest dog I ever seen, he would go to the back door and pretend he was going to puke if you didn't let him out lol how lucky am i to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard Shooting a coon in a 60ft tree out of a boat in the dark holding a flashlight can be tricky. ..

LBI SurfRat Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 My lab/Brittany mix is smart as ****. One on one she's fine. Listens, retrieves, etc. In the house she's great. Super affectionate but she forgets she's 65lb so it can rough for new people lol Bring in another dog and it's as if she has literally never been trained. She's not aggressive but might as well be a a 10lb cat that just drank a coffee that has redbull in it. She can smell, stalk, and hunt down a pheasant but if a squirrel or rabbit runs by...she gone! Lol. It's maddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley48 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Had a boxer that got expelled from two puppy schools. There was no training that dog, never saw anything so stubborn. Tried crate training and he would mash his face into the crate until his whole snout was raw and bleeding. Turned out to be one of the best dogs I've ever had but it was his way or the highway from day one lol The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever~Jacques Yves Cousteau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to take the bird jumper to work with me, we built custom houses, one day my buddy John sees him burying something in the mason's sand pile, we go out there and it's a half cooked big ass steak, so we start looking around and there was a guy at least a hundred yards down the road standing next to a grill just looking around lol , we locked brownie up in the house lol dena, LBI SurfRat, MikeMc and 1 other 3 1 how lucky am i to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard Shooting a coon in a 60ft tree out of a boat in the dark holding a flashlight can be tricky. ..
