Elizabeth13 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm confused.. I have suggested for one getting a trainer in to work with you and the dogs. There are many on here suggested, such as PJ training, Lotti on here trains also. Others have suggested, from experience, that alternative/rotational crating is the way forward, whilst your friend is staying and you are struggling to keep on top of everything and feeling stressed. This way you can ensure no more serious fights between dogs, and is a temporary measure. However, you don't seem to be willing at all to take on the advice? Just the impression i am getting from you. You want it all to stop and say you will do anything, but don't seem to be wanting to do what any ones suggested Edit: Oh, and yes, i would totally control their 'playing'. Snapping and growling as a combination doesn't sound very playful to me, and by telling them to stop and calming them down during play is also a way of showing leadership. And about getting your dogs neutered and spayed.. Why can you not do it now? I believe you can get vouchers for free spaying and neutering with your breeds as they are targeted breeds for the abuse of over breeding. Your friend hinted at you possibly wanting to breed more from your dogs.. This will probably be a very bad idea all round, and i think (whilst none of us can force you) you need to seriously consider the advice on here to NOT go forward with any more breeding. Also, are all your dogs up to date with vaccinations? Mixing with other dogs that may or may not be vaccinated is dangerous, as well as vice versa if your dogs are not up to date.

Elizabeth13 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 P.S if you are still lost on the trainers, just search this forum (left hand side control panel). There have been tons of threads asking for trainers, so you will find lots of results. For example, there is a new thread now asking about training classes.

BettyBooHoo! Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 1 bed flat + 7 dogs+3 cats+ any kittens left = very upset dogs,she obv thinks am being nasty but i care bout her welfare as much as the animals Good lord. No wonder the dogs are fighting, they're probably frustrated at being cramped up and having their home invaided by your friend and her dogs. I think your loyalties should be to your animals and not your friend. I understand that you are just being kind and helpful but she needs to take care of herself or stay with family or friends who have more space if she can't find anywhere permanent. As a friend, she should recognise that she's putting a big strain on you. Hope you work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth13 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have also just remembered ( i dont know how i forgot ) my friends female husky is in season could this be causeing any hormone changes and making it worse??? Yes, yes it will. I worry for all dogs involved. Huskies for one will easily get stressed being cramped up without enough mental and physical stimulation (remember, they are a working breed made to run mile upon mile all day everyday). This is all a bit of a messed up situation. Quite a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evei Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 how people judge on here they know nothing about me and i wanted to avoid the whole get them spayed and people having a go if it helped id do it so dont make out im a bad owner who wont spay even if it starts fight just so she can breed her dog As one of the pet group leaders I do get dismayed that people feel they cannot be honest when asking for advice because they feel that they will be judged. However I do think people generally give good advice and to do this they need to know the facts. The majority of people will not agree with the way the dogs are kept/ bred/ not neutered and will in my opinion quite rightly say so. However they will also offer advice and as a lot of your problems seem to be due to areas around this it is hard to separate the two. I think you know some of the answers but are secretly hoping for a magic cure that does not involve possible spaying, reducing the number of dogs in the property and getting a trainer in. Unfortunately without taking this advice I can't see how you are going to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't give out info on it though so it's best to ask Rain Rescue who have the info about it. I agree neutering the dogs would help get this situation under control.
