I think socialzing her is a good idea. Don't be discouraged coz' she's aggressive. Ah Kow used to be like that too (but small fella bite and bark also people laugh at her lah! ) until after a gathering and a few outings with other members. She toned down a lot after socializing. Hope to see both of you and your other furkids at the next gathering!
yea its very good to socialize her share share lah her a bit with us!..ehehhe
i think it really helps to curb her dominance like ah kow aslo..first time met her...wah i tot she like so ganas.. now...we pick her up all no problem!!
What a coincidence ! My Hazel (Silky Terrier) is also very dominant towards other dogs.. She will either bark at them when they get close to her or just "grrrr" at them.. guessed she's lack of socialization or it's their name !! hehehe
then my Hazel (1 1/2 yrs old) more teruk.. she dont even like other dogs get near her..only she can go near them whenever she got mood to go near.. but towards human she's fine, if they are not "dangerous" ppl.. hmmm.. so, do u think only 'socialization' can remedy tis problem??????
see, i adopted her through the forum. I don't know much abt her past other than the fact she was used to guard the property and has a long history of skin problems...that's y the previous owners gv her up. From the vet, he told me that she was taken care of...financially. But not much attention..and the food quality not too good which sparked off the skin problems.
Wow, ur Hazel has gone thru a lot and finally found your love !! She must have been a tough lil fella and perhaps she became dominant due to her "survival feat" when she was with the previous owner (dunno????).. Thank God now she's got You !!!
hmm.guessed ur Hazel must be really matured and grown up.. My Hazel is dominant bcoz she was the "baby" in the family and everyone sayang her so much..
would really like to meet up with all of u guys and gals in this coming gathering..but I am gonna be busy on dat day.. how many times has ur Hazel been to such gathering??
i've only been to abt 3 gatherings....since I signed up in May.
I adopted Hazel not too long ago...in august I think. I brought her to the recent AKC RDO but she went home early. She wasn't used to so many dogs in one place. ,-._,-. \/)"(\/ (_o_)
hmm.. i think if my Hazel goes to any gathering, surely she'll be so scared to see so many dogs.. I havent been to any gathering but really hope to join one soon !!
Hi..hi..I am sorry but i dont think we will be able to make it tis coming KK gathering.. firstly, will be working and Hazel's now on heat..so it may be "dangerous" and messy.. Hopefully we will be able to make it next time round and meet up with all of u guys and gals !!!
If you are afraid that Hazel is not used to it that there are so many dogs at one times, I'd suggest you have small small gatherings with the other dogs with other members of the forum. That is how tha auto pups came together anyway, and Ah Kow (Hilda's furkid) and the others are getting along well now.. so when there are many other dogs and all, like the RDO, they stick to each other in a way. Well, it worked for all the others except Salsa. Salsa is just tooooo pampered and too attached to me, but I notice that when there is a small group, like with ah kow and the others, she does tend to want to get down (from my lap) and sniff all of them as long as they don't intimidate her.
I think the gathering of the USJ/KK people could be a first step! Papasan, Mamasan, Jerry, Salsa, Samseng & Junior
