Hi,

Thanks for your replys, points taken, sometimes I can't see the woods for the tree, I certainly didn't mean to offend anybody, that's not my way.

Hi Christine, I am in no way offended by you post, it seems to me you have a good grasp on what is needed to improve your dogs quality of life, im sure you will go on to make him/her a happy calm dog, but the diff again between you and the OP is your dog is a rescue (well done) you took it on knowing it would mean hard work, you knew he had been treated badly by people, but as far as I know millie has not had a hard background, or been rescued, (please if im wrong on this someone tell me)
good luck with the training,

This is because she is young (maybe acts young for her age i dont know) but this perhaps explains her lack of knowledge when it comes to dog behaviour/training. I dont think telling her she is a bad owner, is childish etc etc is going to help her. We need to help educate and advise rather than criticise. I know that at 18 i had far less knowledge than i do now regarding dog training.

I read from her posts that her pup, Millie, was frightened of this Lab and yet the Lab owner allowed the dog to intimidate Millie - whether intentional or not. Firstly, I think it is only polite for dog owners to ask the other owner whether it is ok for their dog to say hi. Many dogs go to training classes to socialise and overcome a fear of other dogs, and allowing strange dogs to scare others is not the way forward IMO.

I do not agree with Suze's rather aggressive language regarding the Labrador owner but can understand her being upset when her pup (Millie is only very young I believe) was telling the Labrador in no uncertain terms that she wasn't happy with it being in her space, and the owner did nothing about that.


Thank you - thats exactly what i ment


and for my aggressive tone - can u blame me with the things you are saying??!!!!!!!!!!!! (that was not directed at you - it was at everyone )

i would also like to add - that most of you have a good opinion about this but are also very quick to judge - which is wrong

you should listen, ask more questions and then make an opinion about it - not completely slate me and my dog

it wa like when i asked advice on toilet training - most of the replies i got was bein slated

im 18 - actually - and i am learning - hence why i ask questions -

imo - think about it - i you were in a corner and felt threatened - you woudlnt justs stand there scared, you would fight back! i knwo i would

and no i didt go all tense and pull millie away straight away - i let her get on with it for a few seconds tehn tried diverting her attention

Imo, it sounds like Millie needed a good telling off as soon as the aggression towards the Labrador started.

I can sort of see your point we have on occasion been out and unfortunately what we thought was an ideal place to sit was infact the worst with regards to being cornered...

I would be horrified if someone did this to me and didnt attempt to pull their dog away, if your dog is fear aggressive that situation just isnt going to work i'm afraid and you need to meet dogs in a more controlled manner...
Can you not have one to one to boost up your dogs confidence for a while?

Other owners might not know you have a dog with issues and you shouldnt really expect them too, so its all about protecting your own dog aswell as others..

I think you've just learned a valuble lesson which we all do nobody is perfect and hopefully it will make you prepared..

Good luck

lol who are you ceaser milan??

Repeatedly telling a fear aggressive dog off just makes it subdued and very unpredictable, you have took away its warning mechanism (growl) which means there nothing left but to attack....

IMO its best not even to get into that situation..

FFS LISTEN TO YOURSELF, YOUR CALLING US QUICK TO JUDGE, your opening post was a rant about a lab and owner YOU JUDGED HIM THEN SLATED HIM AND HIS DOG, DONT MAKE ME LAUGH, your doing an animal management course so open your mind up a bit and learn some people managment skills, you will need to deal with people too YOU MORE OR LESS MAKE OUT THAT PEOPLE POSTING ARE IDIOTS, WHAT THE F DO YOU EXPECT,
i normaly dont rant, Normaly I try to see the best in all, but your posts are aggressive, offensive, anoying, to be honest its like listening to a spoiled little girl, at 18 I had SAVVY, you come on ranting on a forum about a complete stranger and his dog calling him all sorts what do you expect,
I WILL PULL OUT OF THIS THREAD NOW BEFORE I LOSE MY TEMPER,
