DO YOU WANT A PUREBRED DOG BUT DON'T WANT TO PAY THE HIGH COSTS OF A BREEDER?

Then why not check into a purebred rescue group? These groups are typically run by individuals who have deep knowledge of a specific breed. Rescue shelters keep animals until they are adopted by permanent owners. These animals may come from failed breeding operations or boarding kennels and vets where they have been abandoned. They could have also been rescued as strays or through a local animal shelter. The adoption fees for such purebred rescue operations vary, depending on what costs have already been spent on the animal. To locate a purebred rescue group, check with your local newspaper, an animal shelter, or the Internet.

Nothing is for free

1. No free affection. Don’t let him demand petting, make him "sit" first.

2. No free treats, again make him work for any food, treats and toys.

3. Make him ask permission, by waiting at doors, and before feeding.

4. Practice longer and longer down stays in the house.

5. Make him down stay while you are eating. (monitor and correct if necessary).

6. Expect him to perform the first time you command him.

7. Keep him off beds and other places where he is in equal position to you.

8. Let him drag a leash, under supervision so you can correct him.

You can love your dog, but you must set limits, and not treat him like a person. When we treat a dog like we would treat a person we love, the dog gets confusing signals. They do not react to free affection and being “spoiled” as we might expect, they interpret these acts to be demonstration of our submission to them. Thus the dog will treat us like an underling, and may show some pack-related aggression, be unresponsive to our commands, and in general not respect us as leaders, because in their mind you are not acting like a leader should. Follow these steps, and you should see a change in the dog’s behavior, looking to you for leadership.
