Just got back on here after yesterday-that's cool you're gonna go the distance!  Best of luck to you guys, having a professional help will definately get things going in the right direction. Let us know how things go!

Good luck BP!  It's nice to see people give rescue dogs with baggage a chance.

Glad to hear you found a trainer to help.  An in-person evaluation and advice will be worth far more than any advice we can give you here.

BTW, I can highly recommend this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Shoot-Dog-Karen-Pryor/dp/1860542387/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216916828&sr=8-1

Despite the title, it is not just about dog training, but about how to use positive reinforcement for behavioral modification (in many different situations).  The author's background is in dolphin training, something that you cannot use shock or choke collars for.

Good luck and keep us updated.

thanks peoples

when I started this thread..... I was ready to boot the dog. Since then, my anger and frustration have subsided, due in part, to everybodys encouragement. If Annie could.... I'm sure she would thank you all.....



and then go shit on Mothers and Juds carpet

Today.... lm had a date with a local dog trainer.

I just got a phone call from Michelle say'n that Annie attacked Bob this morning after I left for work. The other two dogs joined in (pack mentality).

Bob looks like hell, but from a quick check from Michelle...he appears to be ok, hopefully he's still ok by the time I get home.

I'm giving up on Annie.

Sorry, time to shoot her.


Bob may still need to see a vet-kitties can go into shock.

it sounds stupid...but I feel betrayed.

Last night, Michelle gave Annie a bath, and I spent some time, primping her for her training session (Annie). I hugged her, brushed her, played with her, fed her....and this is how you repay me.... you make the beast with two backs up my friend.

And to top it off..... I'm stuck here at work and can't go check on Bob. Michelle is going to check on him at lunch, but, not see'n him personally...is kill'n me. 



make the beast with two backs!

[TiNi]

damn that sucks! 
sorry joel 

[Kyna]

I'm really sorry that Annie isn't going to work out in your house.  Is the rescue open to taking her back and trying to find another home for her?

[Speedbag]

Damn. 

Hope Bob's OK.....
