We always seem to be having the same problems at the same time! lol. I was thinking about posting my problems with Nebo, but now I'll just reply here.

Nebo is frustrating me. Don't get me wrong, I love the little guy to death, but sometimes he's a hard one. Today was his 3rd puppy kindergarten class. He was doing great at first...most of the time he sat/layed at my feet, great at sit/down, and he even wasn't bad at loose leash walking that time (except that when I went down the isle in a half a second he had a black plastic thing in his mouth that I had to literally stick my fingers down his throat to fish out before he killed himself!) We also did a thing called "pass the puppy" where we passed our pup along to the next person and took somebody elses dog...petted them, had them sit, etc. As far as I know he was fine with that. Anyway, toward the last bit we had some issues. He peed on the floor (he had only peed in my house once in 2 weeks...) and so I was cleaning that up (while everyone watched mind you). I had the wet paper towel in my hand, and the garbage was on the other side past all the other dogs. So I was trying to clean it up and I was trying to grab Nebo so I could hurry and throw it away....Nebo already has issues with being held/picked up....and this huge great dane (who also has dog issues I can tell) was on one side of me, and a soft wheaten terrier (about the same size as Nebo) was right in my face jumping on Nebo as I tried to pick him up. I think he was trying to get away, plus he felt threatened with the other dogs crowding him (I wish the owners could have kept them away for a minute!) and all I heard was a yelp from the wheaten terrier. The owner says that Nebo bit her. Glares coming at me from every direction. Then it was doggy socialization time afterwards and it was obvious that everyone was avoiding me! UUUggggh!

Nebo is definitely a dominant dog like Chewy! Just be glad he is not dominant toward you. I've been trying the thing they said when you grab his collar, saying "gotcha" and giving him a treat. He still bites at me when I grab his collar, and sometimes he reallly growls when I pick him up. I've been doing all of those things people have said to let them know who is boss, I guess it is just going to take time. He loves Reggie and Smokey, but he gets too wild with them, and Reggie is a butthole to him.

Gee I'm just at wits ends with Chewy, he is such a bad puppy! He is so bad everyoen ask why I haven't givein him up yet!
Yeah my mom thinks Nebo is evil, and because he is a "big" dog he's gonna kill me or something. My aunt had her dog, an australian shepard, attack her so now my mom things all "big" dogs are evil. Well her "little" dog Smokey is just as big of a snot! And I left him in his dog run yesterday while I went to a friends house to watch a movie--apparently he is not used to being left in there late at night--he wasn't barking when I left, but I guess he was barking his head off later and some neighbor was yelling over the fence. And somebody called and hung up 4 times yesterday, so my mom all assumes it is all related, and guess what...I hate my neighbors! Nothing new.

Ok so I'm not much help, but it felt nice venting my frustrations! lol
