Hi- I will be taking care of a friend's 2 dogs ( not
berners) this weekend and was wondering if anyone on
the list serve has any suggestions on how to introduce
my berner- Parker- ( almost 8 months) to those
intruders. Should I keep them separated when I am not
home? Should I go to a neutral
Karen --
Take a look at the no-pull harness shown here:
http://www.petsmart.com/dog/shopping/collars%5F%5Fleashes%5F%5F%5Fid%5Ftags/harnesses%5Fand%5Fmuzzles/products/product%5F11833.shtml.
We used a very similar one on 2 of our dogs who pulled terribly - a 65 lb
husky-x and a 95 lb intact BMD
this is the sporn harness. we have had great success with it. the company is
great about replacement pieces as well. there is another similar one out,
but it puts some pressure on the chest. this one is totally biomechanically
sound.

Karen,
I would highly recommend a Gentle Leader. We've used them on both our
guys and they work really well. Our trainer uses these exclusively. I
tried a pinch collar on Tugboat once because of an issue we were
having with him fence fighting a couple of dogs on his walk, but I will
NEVER do
Hi,
It will be a heat between the collar and the skin. Wounds like chafes in
the armpits, close to the dogs chest.

He also took RWD Best Berner Puppy at his very first conformation show
- from the puppy 6-9 month class. This was at a show near my parent's
house in Del Mar,

Hello Everyone,
Since those of you with subscriptions to Dog Fancy are beginning to
receive the July edition that features BMDs, I thought it would be
timely to share some information about the BMDCA
Crossposted by author's request: (And if any of the posts here on the
Berner-L have been especially helpful in managing through those
difficult early training times, do let her know about those too! If you
can't find the specific posts, I may be able to help you find them.)

Could someone in the know post the date for the Finger Lakes Bernerfest on
Cayuga Lake? I have heard it may be as soon as this Sunday or possibly the
following Sunday on June 8.
Thanks.

I just went through a not so nice experience in an obedience class...The
instructor was trying to get ten month old Nicco to quit being such a shark
for his food rewards by teaching him easy. She would keep the bait in a
closed fist and rap him on the nose when he was not being gentle

My own feeling is - go with your gut feeling. I have made it a policy of

I would not go back to that class -- period and end of discussion. Punching
and jerking???!!! If someone did that to one of my dogs, I might be the one
doing the punching! Training can and does occur without cruelty. I am glad
you were uncomfortable with someone being mean to your dog -- trust

When I posted about what a piranha Mercedes was as a puppy in reply to a
biting Berner post I got a lot of private posts from people with similar
situations. Several of these folks had kids as I did. I did my best to
describe what worked for us and probably forgot a lot in each individual
post.
Don't give your dog a common name! Mercedes also goes by Sadie, one of the
most common names in all of dogdom. We once attended a class with another
Sadie in it whose owner was a growly, grumbly person...always yelling at
his dog. My girl thought it was about her and didn't like it there.
