Me and Alfie
« on: November 30, 2008, 01:31:28 PM »
Hi new here. My names James im 29 and this is my first dog called Alfie. We  got him from Last chance animal rescue about 5 months ago. He's a Staff x Collie with maybe some other breeds in him to. Was told he was about 18 months old when we got him so should be nearly 2 now. He's a bit hyper and has a few issues but hopfully with the help on this site i can work with him.  ;D  He's a sweet dog though and get's on well with my girlfreinds 2 cats although he is obsesed with there backsides!  ::)

Hi and welcome :)
He looks part Lab in the last picture, handsome lad.
If you tell us what his issues are we may be able to point you in the right direction ;)


Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away

Thanks for the comments and warm welcome everyone. Was wondering if he had a bit of Lab in him Lassie. His main issues are pulling on the lead when he see's another animal. Can be anything, cats,dogs birds etc. Also he's started barking at the door alot even if there's nothing there. Will post these in the right place as well but any help would be apreiciated. Thanks.  ;)

Here are the main threads that will help you  ;)

And this one is why you always test to see if the dog has learnt what you think you have taught it before you move to the next stage ;D

This is a post explaining about free shaping in case you decide you would like to try clicker training, it's as trying for you as it is the dog but great fun ;D
