    Happy is fear aggresive with starnge dogs, and is bent on killing on pointers and schnauzers, she seriously goes crazy when she see's one, her eyes glaze over and tries to shred them, but she is ONLY like that with those 2 breeds

    Misty is very dominant of other dogs, she is very submissive with people, but she really likes to use her power as top dog, and has to be pryed away if we want the other dogs to be able to do anything. she does use this power for good too though, if dogs are fighting she walks in between them and they will stop, the dogs could have never met her before and they will listen to her.

    Ripley likes people too much, he runs away just to meet new people, I was pretty suprised the first time I found out that Ripley had been pracing into strangers houses to say hi lol

    Blair bites. he HATES starngers in his house, and has no problem at all with attacking someone who behaves as if this house belongs to them(aka anyone but me, my mom or my brother walking in my house) however I am not sure I would call this a bahaviour PROBLEM, as this breed is required to be like this, it was to prevent theives from stealing them or their flock, cant steal what ya cant catch lol

    Perky barks, she barks at EVERYTHING and refuses to shut up.

    Visa is shy with strangers, chases cats, whines when she sees me but can't be near me, scratches the door is she is left out too long, she goes into drive when she sees another dog running offleash when she is onleash, she grabs your clothing or jumps on you when she is confused, frustrated, or anxious.
    I've been BOO'd!

    Finn can be agressive with male dogs, usually unneutered ones. Not sure, yet, if it's fear aggression or dominance aggression. I hope to get him into some sort of advanced training to find out if there's anything that we can do about that. And, he will still get ahold of things and chew them up if I leave them out. The other night, he almost chewed up two glue sticks. I got to him before he broke the sticks open, though...

    Katie and Tori are completely uncontrollable when we have company! It is embarrassing. I know it is all my fault but I can't seem to correct the problem. Both of them get so excited. They jump all over the guests and when a guest actually manages to sit down they are both right there in that person's face wiggling and waggling and breathing all over them and Katie even paws at their feet. I either have to put them outside or put them in their crates. It probably takes an hour for them to calm down and usually longer than that.

    They also both dig! Big time diggers! Tori is the main one and Katie seems to follow along now. I hate it!! My backyard is a disaster. I am constantly wiping thier feet and Tori hates that. The yard is disgusting and they get all muddy!

    Thats about it for my girls. Those are the two things that drive me crazy and embarrass me...lol.

    Katie is dog aggressive but I don't know if that is a behavioral problem or just her akita nature

    Tango is fear aggresive with strange dogs, and goes absolutely crazy when she see's a brindle dog for some reason. She is also very shy around new people and barks out of fear.

    Keeva is very dominant and protective, she can get aggressive when she's jealous of something.

    Winston is weary of strangers, especially men but other than that he's pretty good.

    Tia is scared of the world, she only trusts family and close friends.

    Kaedyn has A LOT of issues to work on. He has aggression issues, mainly. I think it was sparked by something that happened to him before I got him since I don't know what his history was like. He lunges at people but never bites. He actually backs up if a threatening stranger moves towards him.

    He also dislikes cats, and birds (major problem since I have four). He is very picky about which dogs he likes too.

    He also barks at anyone who passes our house and I swear he sometimes barks just for fun.

    I've been working with a behaviorist and he is MUCH better now. He tolerates the birds, and has done much better outside. He still has a lot to work on but he's getting there.

    Kai also has a few behavioral problems.. but nothing as serious as Kaedyn's. He's fearful of a lot of things.. especially cars. He hasn't had a proper walk in months because it's absolutely impossible to take him to the end of the block. I'm going to work with the behaviorist on Kai's issues soon too.

    Marta's main problems are being pushy about getting pets (even as I'm writing this she is trying to push my arm to pet her!) and barking at agressive dogs- for some reason she thinks she's "police" and will bark at dogs that are being agressive or mean at the dog park.

    Adele doesn't like puppies and will growl and snap at them and she goes nuts in the car no matter what I try! She is so happy she just runs back and forth in the back seat. I think I'll try a car-harness, but she'll probably find a way to get out...

    Thor LOVES to get into the garbage, and pulls when on leash. I think the pulling is a game for him. When my husband walks him he pulls like crazy, and when I walk him he isn't as bad.......so guess who gets to do 99.9% of the walking!!! I don't mind.......
