I don't want to think what he would do to there dog. And it's THEIR dog, not there dog. I thought that people over the age of 12 would know something as basic as that, maybe not....  |

The thing is puppypal knows Barley better than any of us ever could so maybe we could lay of the bad comments? I understand that Barley shouldn't be behaving like this around children and maybe he is not always wonderful with other dogs but I know plenty of other dogs that are not wonderful, at least she keeps him on a lead - more than some do. PP has said she is attending training with him so please cut her some slack. Sorry if it seems like I'm moaning it's just lately opinion on the forum seem to be getting very intense and not very pleasant. Just so you know bextull I get my 'there' and 'their' mixed up and I am 13. |

I did think that things seem to be heating up a lot easier CC. I simply made my comment because it wasn't stated what he would do.
If there's an aggressive intent behind his behaviour this links back to the fact that there's the possibility of another puppy coming into the household. Which would be less than ideal if Barley is aggressive towards other dogs.
And don't worry about there/their CC, there's people my age and older that still can't get it right. It's just one of those things!

I don't know what he would do as it is his territory that he is protecting, he is very territorial.I dont even know what he would do if a stranger walked into the house
As with another puppy coming into the house last year we had a friends malamute stay with us for the weekend and he was as good as gold, he had a little grumble over his food bowl and toys but once they were removed he was perfectly fine, they did have to be separated at food time but we already knew we would have had to do that as we would with a puppy

bextull; not being picky or anything here, but I agree with CurlyCub - you should get over the there/their mistake, everyone makes mistakes, and just because puppypal got it wrong typing doesn't mean she doesn't know which is which - my fingers slip on the keyboard sometimes too! But, what someone posts is their post and it would just put a person down if they got picked on about it. There is no problem with a heated discussion - it makes everything more exciting and more lively, which is great. Arguments aren't pleasant at all - I think CurlyCub did the right thing by posting in about it; i think she stopped it turning into an argument. Also however, I'd hate it if this thread turned out to be another member/forum/post basher because I personally hate threads like them. If there is something you need to comment on, and its maybe a negative thing, you have to say it, however. They aren't necessarily ALL offensive comments. You must let the bad comments in and take note! This is a forum! Its not just any old chat line, its a place for help, and maybe letting a bad comment in will teach someone a lesson, and what to do, as long as its to do with the topic of the forum, in our case dogs. If I was puppypal I would be a bit put back by the their/there comment bextull, its something we've got to maturely get over. Don't worry CurlyCub, let things like this pass by you and enjoy the forum as you are

Prove you're more mature than you're making out. |

Huh, one simple grammar mistake and things escalated quickly.
BorderTerrier, I can assure you, I'm certainly not hung up on a grammar mistake. I let it go about 5 minutes after posting it. It appears to be you my dear who is hung up with it.
Arguments happen, get over it. If you don't like them, then don't read them. And if I do recall correctly, you are no angel, you have kept plenty of arguments going before.
When did you become the 'all knowing' one anyway, deciding what is a heated discussion and what is an argument - if there is a difference. I don't see any argument going on here, it is just a 'heated discussion' about some potentialy dangerous behavioural problems (with a little grammar thrown in)
We cannot all agree in life, that would just be boring.
I find the prospect of actually worrying what your dog would do if a stanger came in, or got over to a strange dog quite frightening. It doesn't make me look forward to meeting such a dog on a walk.

he is generally fine with dogs and people on walks just not in the house, he does not like all dogs and people but then not everyone likes every dog and human they meet. Toys were our mistake as we left them out and she was a puppy then, food bowl was understandable

I don't mean to nit pick, I'm just trying to grasp the situation.
Surely if you are getting a puppy to train for SAR, it will be living in your house. With Barley. Who you have just claimed to be fine outside on walks but 'not in the house'?
Food is understandable, a lot of dogs don't like others by their food and I would always feed unknown dogs separately then slowly decrease distance unless one was food aggressive, then I would feed separately indefinitely.

he is good with dogs in the house but only ones that he knows, like ross and mica, but you would not want a stranger coming into your house uninvited so neither would he. he is not food aggressive but can be a bit possessive around food and other dogs but we have already sorted out a plan of action for this. for at least the first 4-6 months he will never be left alone with the puppy unless one of them is inside or contained, we have already sorted out how we are going to introduce them together.

Not all dogs like other dogs coming onto their territory.If one is on a first visit to us,they are introduced on neutral ground,and in my home,any food would be removed,as if any dog is up for a scrap,it would most likely be over food.I think it would have to be the same for introducing a puppy if your dog has a tendency to be jealous,but most dogs are quite good with pups,as long as they are not allowed to pester the adult dog,which may result in the adult dog snapping or giving the pup a nip.

Some dogs take to pups easier than others. Hopefully all will go smooth |
