[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious training.  Now.[/quote]

Ok what are your credentials? Curious if you're a trainer. And I know I want to train her more but my post is about the differing views. One is positive reinforcement and leadership. The other is the collar [/quote]

My credentials are I have been fostering dogs for about five years, including litters of puppies.  I am not a trainer.  I take dogs with challenges to a trainer.  I've worked with a few, try Blue Ridge Canine.  They are in Culpepper but do meet ups in the DC metro area.

The thing about training is it isn't finished.  It's ongoing.  We spent Sunday every week for months meeting our trainer at a park, with others, for training.  Some of the participants actually send their dogs away to live with the trainers for a while.  Yes, I use but the carrot and the stick - prong collars and high value treats.  Bits of hot dog are the best.  I've even used an e collar but just the beep and vibrate, not the shock.  Whatever it takes to keep a dog behaving in a way that you... can keep the dog.

Have the dog evaluated.  It may not be the dog for you.  I rescue dogs and don't want any to be abandoned but you can't have a dog in your home you can't trust.  [/quote]
