I don't ever do any google blog...I'm sorry. I don't ever do any google blogging or anything but I cannot find any help on this situation.So please forgive me for asking in a comment rather than a blog post.<br /><br />I have a shed in my back yard with about a foot gap under it. My puppy is only 7 weeks and is not fully trained. He doesn't always come when called yet. I don't want him going under the shed. I don't want him getting hurt under there, chewing on something he's not supposed to or getting stuck as he get's older. He is a mini Aussie. Currently, when he gets under there we say NO sternly as he goes under, coax him out, pick him up and carry him inside, making outside play time OVER. Is this right, because he's usually pretty quick at learning and he doesn't seem to show any signs of understanding we don't want him under the shed.<br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391098328051835740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167132675913358082.post-51673651646964865532013-12-01T14:05:15.694-05:002013-12-01T14:05:15.694-05:00About 5 months ago, my family adopted a 1 ½ year o...About 5 months ago, my family adopted a 1 ½ year old neutered jack Russell/poodle mix (we think!) named Jack from the SPCA. He has proven to be a challenge, but until recently we have not had any issues that aren’t fixable through simple training. On thanksgiving day, Jack somehow got a hold of a cotton swab and took it into his crate with him. I idiotically reached in to get it from him, and he left some nasty bite wounds on my hand. Yesterday, my dad had the leftover turkey on the kitchen counter, and when he left the room for a minute, Jack managed to grab a turkey leg and bring it into his crate. My dad had to use a garden rake to retrieve it, which Jack proceeded to bite and attack the rake throughout the process. Today, my mom had the turkey out on the counter, and when I stepped in front of Jack in attempt to get him away from the turkey, he immediately went into attack mode; if I had not been wearing plush slippers, there’s a good chance I’d be in the emergency room right now. Other than this newfound aggression over turkey, Jack is a sweet, affectionate and playful dog. It would be my worst nightmare to have him put down over this. I understand that there are no quick fixes to such severe behavioral issues, but my family and I obviously cannot go on living in fear of Jack attacking every time we eat.
