If you go to that "other" place... a certain moderator is reccomending a K9 police dog trainer for a DAUCHSHUND that growls at one member of the family (a 13 year old girl)... Does anybody else think that if this girl takes over feeding, walking and practices a little OB with this dog - it will likely stop? Why reccommend the expense and complication in seeking out an agression specialist for a dog that is no bigger than my foot and isn't aggressive to everyone...isn't this obvious a little NILIF would do the trick? She has made the solution seem do F'ing difficult - I hope these people don't give up! I wish we could reach them...oh well SOME of the other posters are steering her in the right direction - but remember - you can't disagee with a moderator "over there". Okay - I am not going there anyMORE - I don't know why I started again - it is like a sickness.

What, nobody suggested slapping an e-collar on the little dog and shocking the snot out of it ? But seriously, shame on "Her" for not having the smarts to have them try NILIF first, but then again, that might be too hard and time consuming to explain for her .

Ahh, that would be the "one training style fits all" mentality.....big or small, we'll assume they're all aggressive and reccomend eveyother training solution except the one that will work....
You got an aggressive weiner dog...tell ya what, leave the dog here at Camp Rocky for a week of NILIF training, some basic obedience and a wee bit 'o alpha dog pack lessons and the dog won't think twice about even considering baring it's tougne to people.....
Honestly, who thinks that crap up? Just cuz its a little dog, people think it doens't need any training WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG....that is what you get...an aggressive weiner dog that has no manners...go the PP route, sure go ahead...you'll have a positively aggressive weiner dog....and one that will soon end up in the shelter along with all the other poor souls who's owners took no responsibility for training....
I do not miss that place one bit!

I think it would probably be more appropriate to put the pinch and e-collar on the daughter...she's probably harassing the **** out of the weiner and driving it

Sadly true. I was having a discussion just yesterday with a woman in my office who owns a regular Yorkie who she trained like a 'real' dog; and a tiny teacup Yorkie pup. The pint sized girl has a nasty aggressive attitude and needs some serious K9 boot camp.
She didn't think she needed to train the tiny one - it's so small it couldn't really hurt you. The pup's drive for World Domination is actually slightly funny, like the Pinky and the Brain cartoon.
I finally said - would you let her get away with that dominant behavior if she was a German Shepherd? She said of course not. So then I said, if you respect your dog as a dog, Treat Her like a Dog. If you just want an cute accessory, you shouldn't have gotten a dog.
I think I got through - today she asked to borrow my copy of Dog Training for Dummies.

Okay, here’s what I’d do: First, have the daughter feed him a lot of pencil thin raw hides. If he growls at the daughter still, stick the pencil thin rawhide directly up the dogs butt. This is to show the dog who is boss! Then, get that prong off, no need to drag the dog on the ground if it doesn’t cooperate, because luckily it’s light enough to just lift right off of the ground if it is being bad and not following your orders. Don’t bother training the dog to know your orders and commands, just start spouting them out and make the dog learn them on his own. If that doesn’t work, it’s time for the e-collar, since obviously every other avenue has been tried and exhausted. If you get to this point you have an extremely dominant aggressive dog on your hands that is just a bomb waiting to go off! There’s no time to waste. Crank that e-collar up to the highest level and the minute the dog does something wrong, shock the hell out of it. Continue to do so until you have nothing left but a little dog with minimal brain activity left. At this point, there will be no more aggression to the daughter, since the dog can barely move, much less bark or bite! This is when you’ll want to go back and take the pencil thin rawhide out of the dogs butt. The good thing with this no nonsense secret training is you will have a docile, non-aggressive dog – the bad part is you’ll need to carry your dog everywhere including outside to potty. Keep that pencil thin rawhide handy at all times, so you can use it for a butt plug!
Signed – the best damn dog trainer in the world.
