If I could somehow, some way capitalize on all the collective knowledge on how to train a canine the way some of you guys have, and then convert that to training and domesticating a woman.....

Quoted:
Our lab sleeps in our room, so if he's tired, he'll come into the living room and start wining until one of us goes to bed. I think he's scared of the dark. My parents Bull Mastiff does the same thing, except he doesn't whine, he barks. When the 110 pound beast wants to snuggle, hes gonna damn well get someone to snuggle with him

Like clockwork, my two german shepherds check upon me always.
I usually ask them if they want to pee. They give a long look and bark if they want to go outside. They say nothing if they are just checking on me. |

My 2 are not allowed the run of the house. If they are in the kitchen and I go to the bedroom they will sit by the kitchen door and wait. If I leave them with my wife and go out they will sit by the garage door and wait for me.

My oldest boxer is always on guard, it's exhausting to me and I feel kind of bad that he never relaxes but that's just what/who he is. I guess I'm not much different
If it's just me home (3) of the four stay with me all the time. If both of us are home they usually stick to the wife unless I'm doing something that might be fun or dangerous

She hangs out in the living room with us, but if we stay up past the usual bed time, she goes in and lays down. If we don't join her in a reasonable amount of time, she comes out and moans at us till we go to bed.

My black lab is pretty independent until a storm rolls through an then it's time for dad to protect him. The yellow lab has to be all up in anything that we are doing, very co-dependent.

Quoted: Used to. We had to put Indy down this year. That dog secured his territory. He would get up a time or two each night and make rounds. If we had a guest, he would sleep outside my daughters door to place himself between the "stranger" and her. He like to know hwere everybody was in the house. He was a fabulous pooch, his family misses him. I should add, out of respect to Indiana, that this was also the dog that quite literally saved my familiy from being burned alive. My wife had neglected to blow out a candle that she had burning in the bathroom and it threw a spark that somehow ignited the plastic bathtub shell. Bathroom doors were closed, so not enough smoke was being generated to set off the detector. About 3 a.m., my collie started poking me in the side of the head with his snout. I waved him off, but he kept coming back more aggresively until he got me awake enough to realize something was wrong. I will be forever grateful to that dog. My 1 year old daughter was asleep literally on the other side of that bathroom wall, and by the time I got up, the entire wall was engulfed in flames. RIP Indo. |

Yep. My Rat Terrier/Dachsund Mix has issues with being further than 3 feet from both my wife and I at any given time. She really enjoys my spare bedroom when I'm in there as the squishy workout mat in there makes her paws sound funny on it so she dances around on it. My Black Chihuhua will also check up on my, but my white one wont unless its a group check to find out what we are doing, she could care less sometimes.
All have different personalities and I love them all. |

The Border Collie will wander off to the the bedroom to have a nap on her bed if she's tired or we aren;t paying attention to her. Every 15 min or so she'll wander out, look at everyone and go back to sleep.
