Low Down Dirty Dog Blues

[Fat Bones]

I've got this chow mix dog, she's about 5 years old, and she's a sweetheart around the house, and is a great guard dog. What you'd expect from a chow, but she's gotten nippy around some kids recently. She didn't sink her teeth, just scraped the skin, but that's unacceptable. I've never known her to ever bite anyone, but she will charge and bark a challenge at the fence line, and she guards the front yard the same way. If she gets out of the backyard, she doesn't wander away, she just sits there waiting to do the hula dance when one of us drives up. My sister rescued her from abandonment and nursed her back to health when she found it had been gored by a hog. I've called the Humane Society and Animal Defense League but, as usual, they're maxed out. I've never had luck with them in the past.

I wish there was a dog ranch she could go to or something, if I can't place her in another home. She has to go, but I would rather not put her down.

Shoot it.

[Fat Bones]

Yeah, but no. Thanks.

yeah, their answer is always "sorry can't help you, we're full".
Ok, thanks for nothing as usual.

I was always told that Chows did not make good pets due to their volatility - nippiness, and sometimes aggressive behavior.

If you're in S.A. there's a no-kill shelter just north of S.A. - on Borgfeld Rd I think. I took a dog there once, when Humane Society and the ADL told me to get lost.

It's a Chow mix... let me repeat, it's a Chow mix. There's your answer.

Yeah, I live close to the airport. I'd be interested in contacting them if you've got a number or something.

I have a chow/golden retriever mix and this past Easter there were little kids literally hitting him with confetti eggs, kids are weak so they had to hit him a couple times before the confetti egg busted. Let me repeat... You don't know shit :lol

[romad_20]

How often have you taken her out? How often is she around people outside your household and kids in general? How often is she exercised? If you've done all those things and she's still nippy, you might need to get additional help from a dog trainer, but if you haven't, I would start walking the hell out of her and getting out to experience more so she won't be so territorial and be more socialized. I can assure you the dog just doesn't hate kids for no reason.

Bender, I found and called the site at Borgfeld, thanks for the suggestion.

romad, The animal is not mine, I'm just dealing with the issue, however, the dog has been socialized, walked, introduced to guests at home and what not. She's really not dangerous, but she is selective about whom she will accept(all family members and most friends), just tolerate (some fiends, most neighbors) or be completely ill at ease with (mostly men, some children). She has the mentality of a dachshund, a territorial yipper. Because a few children make her skittish, she can not stay here.

[Bender]

I did not know about the place on Borgfeld until someone told me about it a while back.

I didn't know if they would take your dog or not, but just wanted you to know the place was there.

Rofl, yeah so I can have papers and breed them on my own puppy farm? Please :rolleyes full breeds are waaaaayy overrated. People who spend $500 on a dog are looking for a status symbol. Pathetic. As are you, and your "I fear dogs attitude". Pussy

understood. I don't know, then. I think your only option is to get an actual trainer or take her to that shelter. Although, I will let you know that no-kill shelter do put dogs down for health and behavioral issues that involve biting and nipping. They won't kill for population control, though. I'm sure they'll give her an entire temperament test though. Good luck.
