Absolutely. Stay around - I'm sure your advice will be welcomed. We'd love to hear about your Leos too.

That"s the point , i'm not trying to sell my business why advertise it,when all i want is people to hopefully turn up and enjoy.
To be honest i don't feel comfortable unless i am around dogs , i enjoy making new friends human and canine and if i can make a difference in a dogs life along the way then great.

Hey, you stick around. There are lots of new owners that can do with some help at times. You'll be a godsend

Your answer re Cesar Milan - spot on!!!! That's what I like to hear. People with an open mind

right so now we are all friends , could some one advise me . we are hoping to offer foster to a rescue service , But and this is a big BUT they use homoeopathic remedies , injections , wormers etc , I really do not have much experience with this , i do know parvo runs rampant in this particular situation (sorry don't want to gives specifics).
I do have my Leos to consider and everyone else dog (my friends) so any information on the effectiveness of homoeopathic remedies will be greatly appreciated , before i sign on the dotted line.
mant thanks xxxxxxxxx

Hey, stick around
Would love to see some pics and hear about your leos HINT HINT

hey welcome to dogsey, you may be better posting with regards to your last question in the health section.

I've rehabilitated 100s of GSDs over the last 40+ years-never been bitten & some of the dogs have been on death row for their behavioural problems & some have been so badly treated they have retreated into bite first everything else afterwards.

Never done the"Alpha Male(actually it should be "Alpha Female"if it actually existed)domination nor infact any form of coercion.

Don't claim to be a behaviourizt, I'm not "hands on"in the physical sense & I've had a"group"of 11 GSDs(not a "pack"as they were not all directly related)all living indoors together without any problems(Entire Males & Females-including two active stud dogs). I currently have 6 dogs(five entire males & one entire female)all living together without me having to be Alpha anything.

Way too many people set themselves as the trainer of last resort & brag of how many times they have been bitten yet "cured the dog", no decent dog trainer would put themselves in the position of being such a threat to a dog that they get bitten.

See i knew if put that you would resort to your comment . Bla bla bla bite.
Shouldn't have said anything , i don't brag about being bitten and i not talking about gsd they are far to an intelligent breed to bite,through menace , and usually in my opinion move forward far more quickly then some other breeds? who tend to stuck in between places.
I did say in the original post that not doubt you didn't read that someone would pick up on the fact i mentioned this . It gives passionate people something to nip at (lol)
Did i mention g.s.d.s (NO).
Again with the Alpha please take the time to read all my posts , i have explained "alpha"
i am glad you have rehabilitated so many g.s.d they will no doubt be grate full.
I really could defend myself on here forever you have your point of view on things however this is your opinion you are entitled to it . Please do read all my posts.
As long as you keep doing what your doing and allow me the piece on mind to continue with what i am doing , to every dog there is no hard set or fast rule .
I do not dominate , cause fear ( i assume you mean i stimulate the fight or flight instinct) ,i assume you are trying to make me out to be a cold hearted bully (good luck with that)

I help dogs move forward , from a place that is causing the stress and unhappiness.
I dont do this by backing them up into a corner , i do it by helping them make there choice .
I am glad you have such a large gathering of dogs , and you too have a different opinion to mine ,it makes neither yours or mine wrong , it is different ,it is ex citing and it obviously works for you . I hope you will agree with me

when i say a dog can read you , like a book . They use there senses in built over thousand of years to understand us , they read our emotions, that is why one rule that works for works , you believe it you have faith in and you make the plausible
That is why what i use works for me , i believe in what can be achieved , i believe in the dog , yes i have been bitten,not because the dog is afraid , not because the dog fells threatened or dominated but because ,it is a release of energy a reaction,we have the logical thought process not dogs .it is simply a reaction.
I do not hold the degree, and i have not spent hours guessing why a dog reacts they it does
No i know trainers wont put themselves in that position, and i don't blame them, it isn't through being successful though , well i don't think so .
It is through lack of involvement touch done correctly is a very powerful tool .All Animals respond to touch , that is why dogs are such brilliant examples in the likes of pets at therapy , working with disabled , working with people with depression.
They understand us and through touch develop a deep bond.
Do not under estimate my passion my commitment and my ability to rehabilitate i do not under estimate yours.
Have a fantastic evening
