I work for a humane society too! Hi! And yes... I've experienced the same thing... people are suprised when they meet a well cared for Rott. Pretty sad.

My labs love small pieces of over microwaved hotdogs. Happy, crazy lab suddenly has an attention span... lol

I'm fairly new so I dont know what you've already tried... but... have you tried using the halti? I have labs, they can be real pullers! I use the halti and always keep treats in my hand. They learned quickly to focus on me (cuz of the treat) instead of whatever they were in such a hurry to...

Crate training is an AMAZING tool on so many levels, especially housebreaking. My labs are 3 and 4 yrs old and they still have thier crates. They will actually go inside and shut the door when they want a break or a nap. Crating gets my vote too.

You would prolly have to prove the person bitten was trying to hurt you. Or that you felt threatened. In Michigan, depending the severity of the bite/attack, they don't destroy dogs for a first offense.

.......... and my wild child GabbyDoo (lab +hound x) My Boston Terrier, appropriately named Boston. I'm so creative. lol

Thanks for the welcome! Here's pictures of my furkids... Pepsi and Cherry (chocolate) are sisters.

We use vests for our dogs that read our organization name. The leash sleeve is an excellent idea.. never thought of that.

Good job getting them in one picture like that. Impressive!

I work at the humane society. Not a fancy career, pay sucks, hours are ungodly long, but you meet some amazing people! (lots of morons too)

Hi everyone! Just a quicky intro, not much of a chatter. I have 3 labs (mixes?), 1 Boston Terrier, and this goofy cat that rules the roost. I work for our local humane society. I really enjoy these forums... it's soo nice to see happy, well cared for pets after a long day at the shelter...
