hahahaa lightenup man...i think you got me confused with someone else?
I have never "attacked" you before. I never even heart from you, before you started posting on the petboard! I was just playing with you ...you should learn to lightenup on this "internet thing"....there's no need for name calling like you just did afterall it's the Petboard for crying out load!!!
your right about the name calling being wrong, it take it back and apolagize about that part. But there is no confussion about an insult you gave me on the pics board, I let it go. But It was out of line and rude I thought and will admitt it made me mad, hey no big deal I figured I would get a few flamings there, but then the "playing with me" pushed it over the edge and I had to let you know. I guess Im just not used to how you play, but we are from different cultures and now I understand better. And I hope we can put this behind us.
Also The advice from you and knny187 on this is good and I will use it. I start out trying to be calm getting the ball from the dog, cause you guys are right. But he does not give it up. I must be doing something wrong. I guess I need to find a way to make giving me the ball enjoyable?? What is weird is this is just over tennis balls, if its another ball even the same size as a tennis ball no problems, wonder why he is so nuts over them? Another problem is if other dogs approach him when he has a tennis ball he gets agressive towards them, Im just so afraid he is going to try and swallow one again, I cant go through that again.
Another thing Im not trying to come off as some know it all about dogs and training, cause I dont. My dog as you can see still trys to challenge me and is far from perfect. But Im trying to do the right things for him. I remember whe i first got him as a 7 week old pup, the vet told me "dont let him push you around, cause he is gonna try" That was the best advice I ever got from a vet.
