Cashmere was a great teacher for Velocity and she learned from the best!

She wasn't always the best, that's why she couldn't be Alpha and Blondie became Alpha after Cashmere, Velocity was really naughty growing up. 😂😂😂

Not always😂

Lol too funny!

Seriously

Cashmere was/is wonderful. She was misunderstood by some.

With the 12 XL American bullies that we own, make them sit and wait for their food. We have had dogs that we did not raise come in with food aggression, take precautions before you just take a food bowl from a dog or set it in front of them. You can start by hand feeding if the dogs temperament allows it. Another option is to set the bowl in front of them, add their favorite part of it to their meal. We feed raw so usually that is the bone segment. If its kibble, just add more kibble or maybe a topper. This will usually fix a dogs food aggression with repetition, until eventually you are able to touch the bowl or them and continue your progression until you can remove the bowl and make them sit and wait for your command. Always keep in mind however that some dogs simply have neurological issues or health problems that may be causing food aggression.

Yes,she Still has Mad Man.😊

No but they can pay me to come to them. In my experience, board and trains do not work.

Not sure what breed that is, but with athletic mastiff type dogs, you can use prong or choke collars. However, you must use this very particularly. You cannot just put on a prong collar and start yanking and believe it will end up okay. The prong collar / choke collar is to correct the dog when they are doing something you do not like. You must have clear and strong communication with the dog. Sometimes the prong collar will allow you to establish a communication path with your dog that otherwise would have been impossible (likely due to excessive pulling or just not giving you any attention outside on a walk.) The problem I am hearing (which may not be reality because I do not live with you or your dog) is a respect issue. Your dog does not respect your commands or the consequences of them. If you call him and he does not listen, you must always get to him and sit him down. He must know that it is not okay to do that.

@SaharaBonnieBullies First of all thank you for your help and time to write this. It's a Bulgarian shepherd as far as I know but there might also be something mixed in for all we know. I am 100% convinced it's a respect issue and also that he's a really easy to scare dog. For example, I call him > he won't listen > I get into a more serious voice > he listens after a bit but will come to me veeeeery slowly and scared as if I would beat him every time he does something wrong. Which is why when he leaves to hide under a table or behind my parents when I am trying to work with him I am reluctant to pull him out as to not make it worse. I'm not a huge fan of those collars but I might try it out if the walks are still as hard, but first, lots more practice. Worst case I'll look for a trainer but I believe it's doable.

@@AsurazMiaux3 If hes hiding under a table but his temperament allows you to grab him, then do it. Its better to grab them and show them that nothing bad comes from being grabbed by you.

@@AsurazMiaux3 There is the other side to this where if your dog has done something wrong and you are to grab him, you need to sit him down and scold him for what he's done. Intelligent dogs will be able to discern that you are angry or happy, and if you are quick enough after what they have done they can begin to connect what makes you happy and angry.
