Appreciate the advice. We are currently working on getting Talus back to normal (after ligament surgery), don't want to rush her on anything else as we are focusing on her rehab at the moment. Another month and we will be able to get back into our 'regular' routine of playing with other dogs, going on long hikes and playing frisbee or Kong in the park. Until then, she still has no outlet for her energy (being that she is still only allowed leash walks and no running) You know what they say, a tired dog is an obedient dog. Give them an outlet for their energy and they will be better behaved (provided you both have done good training!)
Found out last weekend that our lovely pooch pal - Talus, didn't exactly start her life on the street with a street kid. Fact is that she was rescued from the street kid at 4 months old from a drug dealer!! Apparently the street kid saw how badly she was being abused and needed to take her away from that situation before she died at the hand of the drug dealer. She only lived with the street kid for a couple of weeks. This definitely shed's new light on the behaviour thing! We are grateful for that street kid who rescued her and through the channels, has ended up as part of our family! We are all richer for being in each others' lives. Even if it's an uphill climb all the time!
Happy tails everyone. Lisa
