Bro thanks for the response, with reference to ur post u said I should feed her 2wice a day or once ? Is tasha not too small to be underfed she is just 8weeks and some days.

Pls ow do I make her bark? I really want her to have a balance temperate, but right now she sees to have fobia for everything don't know how to correct this.

Twice a day isn't really a problem. Ensure what she eats twice a day is very rich in protein and Calcium. Let the food mean something.

Regarding her barking, she is a puppy now and she doesn't trust you so it's okay for her to be afraid. Show her love and keep her at your side always. If possible, put her on the chair next to where you sit. Overtime within a few weeks you'd see

tblackE61:
No broo!! He is extremely friendly, but can be aggressive when been threatened. Don't what that for tasha!

Follow these instructions:

- Always keep tasha indoors with you. Don't let anyone play with her or touch her head.

- Don't take her out too much to meet friends and don't let people comment on her in person

- Show her love and avoid beating her...

- Feed her once a day or twice max

- Don't let her run away from another dog. Don't encourage her to fight and at the same time, don't encourage her to run. Be in the middle. That will give her more confidence. The higher the confidence the bigger the aggression

And always tease her to make her bark or maybe even growl but not too much.

And once a while, scare her so she reacts and try to defend herself. Overtime you would see she would become safely and reasonable aggressive in a smart way.

However, my own dogs are trained to be Violent. I buy goats so my dogs can attack and kill. Now that isn't the best. That's just bad. So don't encourage your dog's to be killers or monsters like mine Coz I am regretting it.

tblackE61:
Thanks for that simple response bro! Pls do tell me is there anything i can do to make her a little bit aggressive. Tired of having calm dogs ..

Hmmm, is Blacky aggressive?

I've told you the perfect solution to make him eat. It's not advised to train a dog with 'specific' food. Na naija we dey (If u understand me)

If you want the puppy to become a good eater of anything you give it, then starve it well for 4 days straight. . It will beg you for food because it will know that food is actually a privilege given out of love not like it belongs to him and he can make waste of it. I did this to one of my dogs and it worked perfectly. I've wasted close to 50k on feeds which this dog of mine wasted because it was selecting. .When I changed my mind.. Today, if I give this dog Beans, he go chop dem no dey tell am to eat before he put head for plate.

My point is, training. Starving him is not wicked, it's training.

Another method is to get another dog or cat.. I used the method for another dog of mine.. When you bring another dog, or cat, and put food in one plate, the dog would not want the other pet to have the food, so he will eat very fast and may even growl or snap. But in the long run, he will get used to eating and eating fast. This method worked for me on one of my dogs.

So what advice do you need?

tblackE61:
U very right bro! Pls what are the negative and positive effects of giving a dog raw meat?

Actually, there are none. The dog will just love it more and always crave it. But it won't make him a killer.. that one is just a fairy tale.

But for health benefits, cook the meat. Don't give him raw because some things there aren't compatible with the dog. Wolves who eat raw meat, have a specific way of eating it and know the specific part to eat keeping them healthy but we don't know that as humans so it's somewhat risky.

tblackE61:
Guess u open ur bathroom 24/7 , but Bro what of when u go out?

They enter the bathroom themselves.. When I return, I wash whatever mess they have done down. .. It's far better than doing all over the house.

I don't close the bathroom completely. I open it slightly giving them a chance to push it open and pee. They also do it outside as well. Depending.

The point is training. Train your dog's and you can conveniently live with them like you live with a human.

tblackE61:
Bro the rate at which she poo every where and destroy most of my stuff ehn! Like srsly can't wait to start caging her

You can train her to poo and pee in the bathroom. My dogs poo and pee in the bathroom.

tblackE61:
Am thinking of starting to cage her when she is 3month what do u think? Tasha is 8weeks old now

It isn't really necessary to cage her. She can grow up in the house with you till death

My dogs stay in the house with me. Its fun

tblackE61:
Bro everything u said is truth and as a matter of fact the bigger dog as been trying to mount her, he doesn't allow her to eat, he always make sure that he is incharge of everything. The worst part of it now is that Tasha now exhibit the bad behaviours blacky does which is just very annoying. Will start seprating them boss! Thanks for ur concern.

Glad you understand

mackii:
ok. so what will I do when he chase his tail or bite himself?
I want him bigger,if I increase his food will it make his size increase.

More Food wouldn't make him bigger. Just give him rest of mind and GOOD food. Even though his food is small but as long as it's quality, he'd grow well.

DidiLove1:
Nice looking dog, the original GSD.

not Original.

mackii:
thanks very much I don't understand what you mean by bite himself. but u know he sometimes chase his tail. Pls explain

Don't let him chase his tail.

If he puts his mouth on any part of his body rapidly with his teeth, that will be pulling off his coat. It can be dangerous because he may hurt himself in the long run.

Yeye dey smell... what will they recommend for Christians.

It's both Christian and muslims

JohnieWalker12:
Am very sure your partner has made the right choice. Where are you chatting from sir? Dogs and cats can co-habit with each and even eat from the same plate if raised together.Kindly Call or what's app me on 08062142641. Cheers

I'm in Ibadan

+1 for long tail..

Though his tail is quite 'thin' for a GSD at 10 months.. Also his coat is very short.. His face should be covered or backed with quite some fur.. hope he doesn't bite himself?

cute dog

tblackE61:
Bro pls give me reasons y u said I shouldnt slow my big dog to play d puppy. Thanks for ur concern

Let me explain a few things about dogs. Dogs have this dominance/alpha thing in them that gets loose whenever another dog joins the pack (Your house). When you stay with 1 dog, you wouldn't observe it because the dog will see you as the 'boss'. But the moment another dog comes in, he still see use as the 'boss' but, under your umbrella, he will attempt to make himself 'boss' over the smaller dog. So it will be a case of..

- Member (Small Dog)
- Boss (Big Dog)
- Big Boss (You, Owner)

Believe me, its completely ok IF YOU CAN MANAGE IT. Just like Daddy, and big brother.

THE BAD SIDE

The bad side is what it is, BAD! The 'boss' dog is not established overnight. He will want to establish it either Violently or Cunningly. The dog would begin with rough play (He is not playing but you think he is).. He will begin by biting the neck of the smaller one to see if the smaller trusts him! If the Smaller one reacts, he gets more angry.. If the smaller one cries, he gets pleased and his dominance is starting to be established. Then he will upgrade to trying to mount! Now, he knows the dog isn't on heat but he will try as much as possible to mount/hump!

The mounting is a sign of dominance. The smaller one may reject and react and it will anger him causing him to go violent. If the smaller does not react, he gets pleased and okay. And slow and steady, he becomes the dominant dog.. 'Alpha dog' or 'boss'. He still knows you as the 'Big boss'.

THE DANGER

With the alpha dog established, bullying will set in... He will forcefully collect her toys, forcefully walk to her and frustrate her. He will growl over food if she walks by. IF YOU MAKE AN ATTEMPT OF FORCING HIM TO STOP GROWLING AT HER, OR FORCING HIM TO LOVE HER OR FORCE HIM NOT TO BULLY HER, HE WILL KILL HER ONE DAY.

Now, i am talking from experience.. my dog died about 5 days ago at the hands of a bigger dog which also belongs to me. How do you think it happened? He tried to mount(Rough Play) and she refused and boom! He killed her. You can start letting them relate when she has grown bigger and a bit older to stand off to the dog.

So my brother, please keep your new puppy away from the big dog.. don't let them 'Play Rough'. IT IS NOT PLAY AS MUCH YOU THINK! DO NOT LET THE BIG DOG ESTABLISH HIMSELF AS DOMINANT! MAKE THEM EQUAL IN A REASONABLE AND FAIR WAY! THIS IS A MISTAKE I MADE! I ENCOURAGED ONE(THE ONE I LIKE THE MOST) TO BE DOMINANT OVER THE REMAINING DOGS AND TODAY, THIS DOMINANT DOG KILLED MY LOVELY PUPPY. IT WAS MY FAULT AND I REGRETTED IT.

ChellyN:
Thanks, his name is Ralph. He is making my pocket cry, when he arrived I gave him some Jo-Jo premium canned food that the breeder said he was eating, he finished that one. We now got the Jo-Jo premium bag from my friend , I serve himhe sniffed it and use his paw to scatter everything, I vex oh! People told me to leave him somewhere with the food and water I did that although his stomach was flat he didn't even touch the food. I left it overnight for where he no chop. 24 hours later he ate small and scattered the food, I felt bad and gave him some rice he did not eat, I had to buy him Jo-Jo premium can. He doesn't if garri,rice,indomie he only agrees to eat pedigree canned food ,Jo-Jo canned good and meat and very small beans. The bag of Jo-Jo still dry my house. Please help me, how Di i make him eat.

Starve him for 4 days.. he'll beg you for food.

OR

Get another puppy.. Serve in 1 plate.. There will be competition and he will eat.

Coldplay007:
Shoot that violent dog.. you will never be able to control it.. he has fought dogs now.. next will be babies and young children..
Kill that dog, I repeat,..

My dog is the last thing I'll kill.. And my dogs are very much under my control. I wasn't at home and it was an accident.

Besides, my dogs are trained and bred to be violent and unfriendly. They are not pets. But this is just one expensive mistake on my part which I am working to correct.

adjoviomole:
.....

2 to 5k.....you can holla at me if you are in lagos

I'm in Ibadan.

Cute pup!

DO NOT LET HIM WARM UP TO STRANGERS! LET HIM BARK AT THEM THEN YOU TAKE HIM AWAY.

I've learnt a lesson from this and going forward, it won't happen again.

I'm getting a cat too

How much can I get a cat? my partner wants one.. I have 3 dogs already. .

No pics...
No location...
No Kernel name...

alright

kennynoah1987:
Its obvious u dnt know how to read,did u read "pure" before the boerboel or rot i wrote? I only asked fr a boerboel or rot without indicating "pure" showing that I'm very much sensible than u both.
why them they use panadol fr my headache

Your rudeness alone will prevent anyone from making a swap with you. You want something, you should be more polite. You are the 0ne looking for rott, at least be calm and hope to get someone to swap with not being rude.

The pet is not a pure Caucasian, it's rare that anyone will give up a Rott or Boerboel in exchange for the pet. So you should be hoping here not talking too much.

tblackE61:
My rotterman blacky and tasha are really bounding good! But blacky kind of play to tasha are always very rough that atimes tasha cry when they both playing. But the good thing is it's intresting watching d 2 of dem play

Bro don't let the big one play with her for now.. It begins with rough play and it ends badly..

And show equal love to both.. don't let the big one feel the small one is above him.

GloryIsaac:
These two dogs never saw eye to eye from the beginning but you chose to keep hoping that it'll be better...... Well, that's the result right there.

Sorry for your loss though.

Hmmm

Perciel:
Sad to hear Greene, sorry about that. There is a trend developing though and I fear for your other dogs who are not as big as he is or as strong. I believe he is becoming an aggressive alpha aided by your encouragement of his defence and fight against outside dogs. I fear you might need behavior modification Greene and as soon as possible. A dog should never kill another in its pack or compound with little or no insult or provocation.
Focus and devote time to him Greene, lest it becomes a small child

Yes I will try my best.. He disappointed me though.

Kovu:
Sorry for your loss. Is the male the one you allowed to fight the Rottweiler? If he is, then you probably contributed to what happened. Never allow your dogs to become overtly aggressive especially towards other dogs.

Yes he is the one who fought the Rottweiler. I agree my dogs are not friendly towards external dogs but not within the family

Thanks
