Help me to change my dogs behaviour

Hi All

i would like to say abt my Jacky's background he is a mix of pommie and german shep his hieght will be of Pommies height and features as german shep. a 1 year old Jacky

Now coming to his problem he is very very very mischievous running all time inside our compound , high jumping from steps, and pulling all our dress calling us to play with out leving us to walk ... etc etc...
he sleeps in the af.noon and night and morning and evening we cant controll him if we put a belt he keeps crying...

We are happy to play with him but at time we feel irritated with him...

Pls advice how to controll him

looking forward....

Priya

Hi Priya

Probably you have left him uncontrolled .. as you say he is already one year old. But dont lose heart .. there is always a way out .

First thing is... let him know WHO THE MASTER IS. He has to obey you and you should let him know that . My experience with dogs has shown me that they do respond well to a rolled up newspaper. During the initial stages let him not know that it is the rolled up paper in your hand .. just slam the paper down hard enof to make a noise and I am sure he will respond to it .

Also probably he is doing all this just to gain your attention .. do you leave him for long periods alone at home ? as soon as you return from outside, no matter how tired you are, take a couple of minutes to spend with him and see

Please do send us photos and let us know if there has been any difference.

There are others who will be able to give you more valuable tip. We are all here to share our experiences and help each other !! Take all the tips and enjoy yourself with Jacky.

all the best

Hey dear thats not a big problem. You see they have nothing else to do like us and they enjoy playing with us. If you feel irritated, give him some other activity like his chewing bone, show him some birds and let him watch, sometimes they also enjoy watching cartoons, some toy to play and see he will enjoy his time and won't bother you.
For us we enjoy all our time with our Shona and never get tired of her. She is such a sweetheart to be with. She keeps going behind someone or the other from family.

its nice to be with them all time even i do admire each and every actions of them... jacky will be vey busy when he is active full time running house inside and outside as if he is got lots of work to do... after geting tired he will come sit in ac room or under the fan directly... clever animals ha ha ha....

Dear Priya,

My dogs use to be like that. Atleast yours is running in and out. I stay in a flat and my dogs use to bring the house down with their playing. But now my Ronnie is 6 and kelly 4, (both poms) they have sobered down. But once in a while they do get into the play mood. I take them to the terrace once in a while and throw the ball and aks them to run.

But I think it is just a phase and once they start growing older they just stop playing.

Regards,
Uma

Is it a full blooded German Shepard? German Shepards are a high engergy breed and needs tons of exercise. Try giving him long walks and playing fetch with him. Also, if you live in USA go to your local pet store and get a dog toy called, "kong" and fill it with a "ziggy". It keeps the dog occupied for hours. I have three dogs, and my youngest dog who is 4 months and has crazy engergy loves these! You can also fill the "kong" with peanut butter. :) Good luck with your German Shepard :)

Hey Jasmine

this "kong" sounds interesting ...

care to explain more about it ? then I can ask one of the children to get it for Joshua .. if that will keep him quiet for some time !!!

cheers
