dogs can be gross cant they, koda finds things too, we went to dog training and they had let sheep into the paddock a few days earlier, so of course she was rewarding herself (when she managed it) that 'leave it' command was getting a really good workout, but she did really good with a down stay she stayed for about 1minute till we went back, im soo proud
for the bad news
storm got into a dog fight last night, we were walking down the street last night as usual, going home thankfully my mother came with us (she took koda away when the fight broke out) but as we were walking home i noticed a dog that we walk past daily out in his front yard, hes usually behind a large gate away from the foot path, so a casually walked my dogs onto the road so storm didnt start up (he has fear agreession, that we work on, he had been able to meet new dogs calmly showing no agreesion till now - ill explain later what happend today)
anywhoo back to my story, the dog came rushing out and startled koda, she was away with the fairies smelling the road as usual when something involves her nose, and storm shot round that side to protect koda and probably me, the dog backed off abit but i asked my mum to take koda away, i didnt want her getting hurt or learning to fight, so as soon as koda left the picture this dog turned around and grabed onto storm and it all went to custard, i couldnt grab this dog off him, a kid was out the front with the dog so i told him to go and get his dad,
the dad managed to get his dog off and stick it round the back, and he was very sorry and remorsefull, and he came over to check storm out and see if hes ok, there was alot of blood on his dog but storm only got a bite on his ear and just under his eye (so im guessing his dog came off worse, i havent seen him today), but he did say to tell him if he has to go to the vet and he'll pay the bill, he was a nice guy
but unfortuanly storm has reverted back abit with his agression, we had a dog run up to us today, one storms been used to meeting and having short plays with, but storm growled at it and tried going for it, the dog showed submission and lay down and storm did listen to me when i told him to leave and come behind but he has been on edge all day passed dogs, when he sees another dog he'll stand up tall and be dominant showing agression signals, so again its a work in progress which we'll be going through again, it has taken about 8months of slow training to work through it to where he had been happily trotting up to dogs to play, but i'll guess we'll start again
