    I won't move away! Hi, I won't move at all from where i live. I am here 10 years and she is the new tenant with the barking dog. I wrote a long post about my soap opera where i live. My post explained that the building rules clearly state, "NO barking dogs". She is just pushing her...

    Dog jokes that i know of.

    What has 500 teeth and says, "Beware of dog"? A picket fence with a sign on it. ------------------------------------------------- Why does your dog turn around so many times before he lies down? He's a watchdog and he's winding himself up...

    Just to add a note to my previous post in this thread. ....the shih tzu owner put herself in the middle of me and the maltese owner, once...just once...when the first, BIG, loud confrontation with the maltese owner happened - when my smiles were gone and the suggestions, i first made, became...

    An episode of my soap opera. Hi, Yea a water gun. Hmmm. They don't really like me very much as i am "a maudit bloke who 'complains' about harmless, little, barking dogs" in their opinion. See, i live in Montreal, Quebec. So, there are political languages barriers, too, which add to any...

    Correcting an error in my text in a previous post My correction is marked by red font She THINKS she is doing the right thing by screaming "Bad dog! Get in the house!" at the dog, like most dog owners who never thought about training a dog.

    Training a spoiled, 7 year old, male shih tzu.

    Why am i so concerned about HER barking dog? Hi adojrts, Good question. I want the dog trained because my bedroom is facing the back yard where her dog charges at the fence, barking, and it abruptly wakes me up some mornings - a real JOLT. The dog charges the fence about 20 times per...

    Thanks Maxi24 Hi, Great tips, Maxi24. I will read and re-read your post until i have it memorized. The clicker is new to me, but then again i am not a dog trainer so i am not up to snuff with all the newest tools and methods. Just goes to show that one doesn't need to have 15,000 posts to...

    I've ignored/muzzled Doberluv! I have ignored/muzzled Doberluv for obvious reasons. I wish to make a complaint about Doberluv's aggressive behavior to the mods of this board, also.

    Finally! Many great points, here. How about using a harness instead of the choke? She is in the yard all day long with the dog, chasing him around like a fool. I can convince her to train the dog if it means she can lay around and chatter with the neighbors instead of chasing down a dog who...

    Training a spoiled, 5 year old shih tzu. Seeing as doberluv has openly and eloquently expressed his/her opinions, i would like to quote my original post to start over. By my doing so, and because of doberluv's shoving his/her finger in my face, i really don't think doberluv should be in this...

    Hi, Thanks to those who've responded, so far, and i am sorry if your answers are not addressing my question to my satisfaction. It seems i am getting advice on which books to burn, and told how bad and outdated Koehler's Method is. At the time of publication of Koehler's book(s) literally...

    Hi every one, I am new to this forum, so this is the first post from me. About 20 years ago, i bought a book called, The Koehler Method of Guard Dog Training. In this book are two sections: the first section deals with the selection and training of personal protection, police, plant...
