No more Mr. Quiet Guy

    So Champ is almost 1 yr 9 months old and we've had him for 7 months. He was always pretty quiet and occasional baroo or that yawning thing B's do. Some snorting but now he's aroooing alot. Sometimes louder and more often. I love when he's verbal but would really love to know what he's trying to say. Hopefully soon we'll get some music out of him. Oh yeah and now he does this like not so much growl but still this sort of mummble/grunt sound to show that he's not too happy with what is going on.:p

    Hollie's barrroooo is so cute. Just one reason I love this breed. Hollie's barroo is her "happy" sound. She did this one day at the park and a lady jumped back saying "what did I do?" I told her Hollie was just happy, that she wasn't growling at the lady. The woman actually thought Hollie was growling… too funny!! Doesn't sound like any growl I've ever heard.

    I was a little pre-occupied earlier today, and Doodle displayed her displeasure at my constant delays... how? She got up on the sofa and did this little prancing-dancing thing. Like she was saying, "haha, look at me misbehaving". LOL oh yeah.... if that is her "breaking bad", I'm in trouble, she's got my heart!

    @Saving so nice to hear there's other people with the same problem! We have been giving regular baths to our b, so I don't know if that really helped or not. Anyways, it took a while for me to bring Nova again to the dog park, because I was a bit afraid the same situation would happen again. I was there a couple of days ago, and no one tried to hump her. (I must say all dogs had same age approx.) Thank you for your comment replies! :)

    Neutering is not going to help - training is. But a good trainer will train YOU to deal with the dog. If a trainer can get him to behave but you can't - there is little to be gained from paying out money. This is something you should never have allowed to happen, but since it has, I think you should deal with it and @JENGOSMonkey has given you a good idea to start you off. Withdrawing treats is a good idea, but also, get up and walk away. He could be biting to get attention and therefore you withdraw the attention at the first sign of a bite, with a firm NO.

    Just thought I'd share an update on this. I removed the blankets from the crate and replaced them with a mattress. We have been strict about her only staying in the crate at night. When we have had accidents I have cleaned up, with a dog urine killing spray, and placed her back in the crate. Everything is progressing smoothly, not had any accidents for over a week now. So it's been a rather quick turnaround, lovely to have her properly crate trained again. Thank you all for sharing advice on the situation.

    another option, is for the human to get off the sofa and walk off. not a great option if you're in the middle of a really suspenceful movie/program and don't have ti-vo. (which is me) i have tried picking growly dog up and placing him or her off the sofa with mixed results. Z and J will bicker often, usually about a spot on the floor that might have, or have had, or might will have, a molecule of food on it. I usually just ignore that b/c nobody ever gets hurt. Sometimes I put Z in the crate for a time out. J will also growl at P, but since she's 3.5 (he's 13) and is twice his size, I figure he's not going to hurt her and she's never growled. But you do have to know your pups and decide what YOU can tolerate.
