markquinton Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 She is on CSJ food which has been recommended to me by other malamute/husky owners. Hide and seek is a good idea which I'll have to try. Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devildust76 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Really pleased to hear that you have made some changes and there has been an improvement maybe it was her way of saying she didn't like all of the noise? Anyway as I've said before it's all a learning curve with these fab dogs. Can't wait to get another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterchillz Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 No advice from me as well, just wanted to say that she's really cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*jax* Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Like others I have shed a few tears of frustration and sadness at my dogs behavior. I just love her so much and want the best for her but occasionally feel its all going wrong and my fault. But i think we are now over the worst although last nights zoomies on the lead in front of a well behaved lab and its owner was quite embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 only have just seen this and no good advice as I don't have a Mally, but I'd like to say good luck. And I'm very happy to hear that you finally had a better walk Jazz is BEAUTIFUL! is her full name Jasmine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarn Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Glad things are improving! One other suggestion. When I got Neb I had two German Shepherds and was looking a Malinois to do French Ring with, but I fell in love with the little boober and thought he'd grow up to be the perfect running buddy (sort of, as it turns out). But I also decided to do French Ring (which is a protection sport) with Neb. As it turns out, he's a little too independent-minded for it, but we worked a lot on bringing out drive with him. Puppies will mouth, and do all of that, because they're still young. I didn't want to discourage it in Neb, so I'd redirect - onto a toy, or a rag. I even brought toys with me on walks. He did as he got older learn to settle on the leash, but he'd still have his foolish puppy moments. I don't know, just thinking that redirection is something to try - it's a positive way to stop the biting and mouthing of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been reading all the posts on this issue and have done everything advised but now i'm at the end of my tether. help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard chain leads help as they don't like the feel of it on their teeth but not sure how well this works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsruleok Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 thanx for the reply, I may get a short chain lead I've tried everything else I cant stop him walking infront of me so maybe a shorter lead will be better. I just want to enjoy our walks instead of dreading them,he is so stubborn and strong, I have thought about a trainer if only I had more money.

markquinton Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I know how you feel. It has got me really down on a few occasions. Mainly because I know she is not a aggressive girl but other people must think she is. It's like she has the zoomies whilst walking but my arm is the play thing and gets mouthed quite hard. I'm trying the redirection and most of the time i'm managing to control it better but then out of the blue she will do it again. Already lost one jumper this week which she has ripped and my arm has scratches all over. I'm determined not to be beaten by this though and hope it's something she will grow out of.

I find walking mine on a traffic handle helps LOADS - he doesn't pull as much as he used to, and its much easier to correct him when he does.

dogsruleok Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 short lead came today it did make a difference to the walk ice couldn't criss cross in front of me, also it was as if he new he couldn't get anywhere any quicker, i'm hoping this will work tomoz and I wasn't just having a lucky day. I have also ordered pet corrector for when he tries to rip my arm off on walks mind you he didn't do it today, he waited till we got home then went into a mental.
