This forum is great, hopefully I can get some get some good advice with our problems with Rani. She is a 3yr old spayed female. She belonged to my mum in law who is now moving and we love her and want to keep her. THe problem is she hasn't been trained, ever! She came to our home and did what she did at her old house, lounged on furniture, ignored us, and pulls dreadfully on the lead. I have been reading training books and trying to bond with her. SHe is a very high strung dog and is upset that we are changing her routine,(my assumption). We have been to the vet and called the only trainer in the area, who is heavy handed. I can't hit her because a) my own opinions won't allow it, and b) I have a two year old little boy who mimics mum and dad, not a safe move. She has snapped at him 3 times now and we are left to our own devices as no training is available professionally. She seems nervous around my child, the musical toys, squealing, and basic toddler play. I can't take my childs toys away and can't trust the dog. SHe has a kennel in the office where she can get away from him and he knows NOT to touch her house, but for all the training books and videos, she won't respond. I am sure that this is hugely my inadequacy, and any advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks, Rani'sMum
