Are you kidding ? Nothing fazes this girl.
We had fireworks & guns & shotguns & NOISE all night long New Years eve.
She slept thru it all.
I just keep her on my arm to keep her close. It is a 4ft leash, about right for the purpose.
I am gonna have a hard time finding a class for obedience training down here in the boonies,
but I want her to have the socialization.

i am so glad to hear that cause i purposely bred over 18 generations of strong temperaments and specially chose the pups who didn't care about noise ... now you know that when you get a dog that isn't "touch sensitive" and can handle everything, there is a good side/and a bad side about that. Now I say touch sensitive because these dogs are emotionally sensitive ... they do not like your disapproval and sometimes pout, but bounce back easy.
what I call a hard dog is a dog you can hit over the head and it doesn't care, he says "what do you want me to do now? you mean i cant eat the post man?" (i don't hit him over the head either, that is a figure of speech)
the good side: Nothing freaks the dog out. You can go hunting, shooting, Fourth of July parades, fireworks, you name it and your dog is what is called "sound" in other words doesn't freak out.
the bad side: the dog is not easily phased ... its like, as he gets older and if he hasn't been trained, then playin the tornado game doesn't really phase him. so what i sometimes have to do is really emphasis the tornado, when i first am teaching a dog my disapproval. when the dog learns the tornado approach, then the dog 'sees the tornado comin and stops his behavior before it gets to him. But if the dog is not trained, then you get what holly has. A stubborn out witting dog who will do what ever it wants. a dog that nothing will phase. A hard dog. | |
