Hi KATE To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, October 26, 2010, 2:23 PM Hi Kate My opinion is that I do not believe Ricky was abused in his previous home. He shows no actions of being shy or scared like someone will hit him or abuse him. My other opinion is I think Ricky got away with his barking and growling before, so he thinks its ok. As a pupply if they thought it was CUTE... then that was the first mistake. Maybe they did not know how to deal with it. Maybe they just put him outside.. I deal with his barking and growling etc at the time it happens. The water bottle seems to be the best course of action. But somedays he is really good, and other days he wants to kill!! any opinions on that? My daughter says he bi-polar. ???

I agree with everything you said!!!!! I think Ricky is acting out because of his situation...not because of his breeding...I think any Chi that was teased ...any dog for that matter...will act out in some way or another...and 99% of the time it is the people that own him! Ceasar says..."There are no bad dogs...only bad people" and I believe that 100%. While dogs are born with different personalities and character traits in a litter...it is up to the people to socialize, love and train them to make them well adjusted dogs. Even if Ricky had all that socialization, love and training, he lives with a "boyfriend" that needs socialization, love and training!!!...oh...and a good kick in the bu!*!!! What Ricky has learned is what he has been taught!!! Shanna can undo that...Shanna can re-direct his acting out...Shanna can create an environment where Ricky feels safe...Shanna can set boundaries for Ricky...Shanna can keep out those that are unhealthy in her home!!! We need to support Shanna towards that end!!!

Suggestions were given by the group to tell the BF to leave the daughter told you they would move if you kept the dog...or you told them to get out one..So the dog (Ricky) now knows how upset you get around them over this but let me get this right he's suppose to like them...Picking him reminds him of one thing being violated and losing his jewels...take them off of your husband after he had them all these years I guarantee you his feelings would be on the same level...I think the comment about being down sized chows was a pun that there little dog's with personalitys of a large dog..Chow I wouldn't have used just cause I can't stand those...Great dane,Rotti sure...they want to think they are the boss and in charge..I think one to many people are trying to be in charge with Ricky ...Ricky has clearly chosen you as his person he tolerates the husband and has not acted out towards him as I dont' recall you saying so...I have had dog's come from breeders who haven't given them the time of day or socialized them if you think they were angels WRONG it took years of patience and lot's of work..I have my own dog's turn on kids because of mis treating by nieces and nephews and they came from the most laid back lines didn't have a thing to do with how they were bred.....IT was PEOPLE who Ruined them from liking everyone!
