At my wits end. Timber, aged 5, GSD x Siberian Husky, huge, powerful, atheletic, fantastic house dog, great with people, wonderful with children, gets on well with small terrier type dogs but tries to kill anything bigger than a spaniel. I mean seriously, the red mist comes down and I can barely hold him despite every kind of harness I've tried on him.We got him when he was a year old and he'd never had any training at all so we'd missed that important window when he was a puppy. He'll do sit, stay, lie down etc, his re-call is terrible! I've tried clicker training with him, great if he's not distracted, but if he sees a dog he wants to fight you could click until the cows come home and swing a whole side of beef in front of his nose, but he's just plain gone, man. Today he pulled me down a flight of steep stone steps in his quest to murder a lurcher. It's a miracle I managed to hang on to him...I am rather black and blue now.
So, the question....nuts off? Would it help? Opinions PLEASE!!!!
