Found a coyote, I think

Raspy,

Suggestion, when sandy shows bad behavior grab the hair in the back of her neck lift her a little off the ground and give her a good "shake" and firmly say no then ignore her for a short time. I know it seems harsh but in the wild if she were with her mother she would grab onto her little ones neck and shake showing her displeasure and dominance. In breading shepards my female would do that to the pups. You will have to let her know you are the Alpha not her. Reward good behavior.

A quick comment on German Shepherds. I'm on my second one now and they are the best dogs one could ever have in my opinion. Smart, loyal and affectionate are just a few of their qualities. They are true people dogs. Mine follows me around everywhere and I see him out of the corner of my eye watching me. I'll always have one and may get a second one. Here is a picture of him with my future tractor....

I agree totally she needs to be corrected and that would be the way she would have gotten it. Our male wolf is hardheaded and can get that way but a sharp voice and grab him and he will settle down. Ignoring him after wards helps because they need the approval of the pack, and minutes seem like hours to them. She still needs some work but she is still young. You might try introducing on neutral territory.
Good luck
Randy

DABSGT,

We tried that tactic with Sandy last night and this morning. She is not very focused and not responsive to "no". But pinching the skin on the back of her neck, shaking her enough to get her attention for a second and a sharp "no!" does the trick. It completely changes the subject and the behavior.

Thanks for the trick!

Her eyesight, coordination and physical strength are really improving now.

Randy,

Beautiful dogs! Can you tell me some more about them?

I have done this with every dog I ever owned, should work as with your little 'yote.

Flip the animal on its back, pin it to the floor with your arm / hand. Keep her on her back until she submits and looks away. By submitting I mean laying still and not fighting. You need to be giving her the evil eye...don't or look away until she does. I always used a release command like "all done", then I would get up and go about my way.

I would do this several times per day for several weeks. Progress is noted when the animal stays down on its back without me touching it.

This is how I establish that I am the alpha. It works great. Since you have a potentially "dangerous" animal, I would make sure you have every human in the house establish the alpha position over her. Good luck.

I might add, with our border collie, it was quite a battle. After 15 minutes, my back was killing me.. I resorted to growling and it only took a minute or two after that for her to submit.

John, we have three dogs a black lab/golden retriever a schnauzer and what I believe is an american pit bull terrier ( on the left in the pic ) When people ask what she is, I tell them she is a mixed breed, boxer, boston terrier and bull dog. Because when most people hear any thing about a pit bull they don't like it.

I did this with our German Shepherd and now (8 yrs. later) while petting her she will lay down and show her belly. Our Blue Heeler is a lot more stubborn and @ 4 yrs old still doesn't like to be done that way. He does come when called and stops doing things when called down. BTW I read that they have dingo in their bloodline. I almost forgot, I'm enjoying the thread and look daily for your posts. Thanks for putting it on.

Randy,

John they are full blooded wolves the white one is our female she is tundra/artic/ timber.
The brownish is Weasel our boy he is the white ones (nephew) her sisters litter. He is tundra/artic/timber/great plains(buffalo) he is also hard headed, he isn't bad aggresive whys but just into everything. He is to smart he opens doors and lets himself out. He is more vocal too, it seems mostly that is what gets him in trouble.
We have an underground fence for him Shadow isn't concerned with with running off, she might mosey down to the neighbors to visit then comes back home.
Thanks John
Randy
