"Sudden deafness" & biting hands

[deborah]

Hi all
not much activity on the list lately guess everybody's having a nice
holiday somewhere under the sun

Besides the fact that I've been missing all your emails there's been a
lot going on lately.
My little "trouble-dog" has been getting a lot bigger But there's not
so many troubles anymore. We've simply done so that she hasn't got any
opportunity to bite and destroy stuff, she does not pee and sim. indoors
anylonger. So that is as nice as it can be.

BUT, it's like she can't hear me any more, a sudden deafness has
occurred especially when children's around. She is doing very well in
her training as long as she wants to obey, and that is, sadly, only for a
few days she masters each command with bravour, even though they are
repeatedly trained with her every day.
And then there's the teeth. She's been changing teeth for a while now, so
she bites (but does not destroy!) in everything she can, especially human
hands, even though she is corrected. what to do?

Besides that my runaway cat has returned home.
My dog Laika has been giving it a hard time ever since, but I guess that
is only the natural thing. It has never been otherwise between them, so I
guess it will never be. The problem is, that Laika wants to play and
such, but for a little cat which only weighs 2 kilos because it's been
gone for a month without any foodsupplies, a 5 months old, 22 kilo pup is
a lot to handle. Besides that my cat is good itself, it has never been
scratching the dog or anything, it just miauvs and run away when Laika is
to hard...
So as you see, everything is quite normal here. The animal's fight, I'm
tired, my husband play's wïth his computer and we havn't had any vacation
this year. Poor me, please pitty me

I guess I only have luxurious problems now, if they even can be called
problems, so I am very pleased right now, thanks to you all

That's all from me, soon I'll be getting back to school again.

best regards,

I yell as if I am hurt & then give my pups a frozen wash cloth
I also "shame" them & put them in their crate, or the other room to be alone
for a little while, this alone sometimes works very nicely

If you choose to give a correction, but don't do it "firmly" enough, they
might think you are playing & just bite harder!!!

Thank you for the advice, but she is a bit (not much but still)
submissive, so I am afraid that I'll be too hard on her...? I have to
tried the yelling as if I was hurt, it only works for a short while, same
thing when it comes to corrections as an angry 'NO'!...

By the way, I have once heard of a CsW breed in Poland near the German
border. I tried to look the kennel up at wolfdog.org but I could only see
two breeders in Poland - even though I have heard of more.
(I have a Polish girlfriend )

All the best,

You're probably talking about our kennel - Z Peronówki. We're living
15km from German border checkpoint. You can find more information about
us here: http://www3.wolfdog.org/pol/dbase/o237.html

or just visit our web site http://www.zperonowki.com/eng/

Unfortunately it's true. There are currently only two CzW breeders in
Poland but this will change shortly.
