FREE DOG
OKAY THIS IS OFF THE WALL OF MS.
AS MANY OF YA KNOW I HAVE A PASSION FOR VERY LARGE DOGS,MY NEWFOUNDLANDS,THEY ARE BLACK AND WHITE,MY VERY LARGE PUP, 6 MONTHS OLD AT 12O POUNDS HAS LEARNED A NEW TRICK.SHE WRAPS HER PAWS AROUND MY LEG OR LEGS LIKE A BEAR CUB AND PULLS ME OFF THE COUCH.(I WEIGH LESS THAN THE PUP)
SHE WILL TAKE HER PAW , LIKE WE USE OUR HANDS AND TAKES MY THINGS.I HAVE NEVER HAD A PUP WITH THIS TYPE OF PERSONALITY,SHE WILL HOLD ME DOWN A LICK MY FACE AND YA CAN'T GET UP.
NOW MIND YA SHE'S BEEN VERBALLY AND PHYSICALLY ABUSED,I CAN'T SIT ANYTHING STRANGE ON THE FAMILY ROOM FLOOR (SHE WON'T LEAVE THIS ROOM) BECAUSE SHE WILL JUMP OUT OF HER SKIN.SHE'S SCARED TO DEATH OF PLASTIC CONTAINERS,PAPER BAGS.
BUT DARN,HOW DO YA BREAK A PUP,WITH THIS TYPE OF PERSONALITY,I'M GETTING TIRED OF BEING PULLED OFF THE COUCH,I HAVE HARD WOOD FLOORS.I TRY TO TELL HER NO,BUT SHE JUST WAGS HER TAIL AND I KNOW SHE'S GRINNING AT ME.
I THINK TRAINED SHE COULD BE A FANTASTIC HELPER DOG.
ANY ADVICE I COULD US IT ,AS I HAVE VERY LITTLE USE OF MY RIGHT SIDE,I KNOW SHE'S JUST PLAYING.
MY OTHER NEWFIE SHE NEVER LEAVES MY SIDE WHEN I'M IN A FLAIR-UP AND I AM LEARNING THAT SHE IS AWARE THAT THEY ARE BEGINNING.MY SON TOLD ME TONIGHT THAT RIGHT BEFORE THIS RECENT ATTACK THAT BELLE,MY OLDER NEWF DOESN'T LEAVE ME ALONE.
ANY INSIGHT ON HOW TO GENTLY BREAK HER OF THIS,I COULD USE IT.

I KEEP TELLING THIS PUP I'M TRADE HER IN FOR A LAP DOG , SHE JUST WAGS HER TAIL.
I HAVE CLICKERS AND THAT MAKES HER JUMP OUT OF HER SKIN,
I'M GONNA TRY TO GET HER TO WALK WITH ME AND HOPEFULLY SHE'LL DO WELL WITH THE NOISES.
OUT BACK SHE'S GREAT AS SHE HAS A WHOLE FENCED IN YARD TO RUN.OUTSIDE OF HER ELEMENTS ,THATS WHEN SHE GETS SCARED.
I GUESS ITS GONNA BE A DAY BY DAY LESSON FOR THE BOTH OF US.

WOW! WHAT A WONDERFUL DOG! I CAN SEE FROM YOUR POST THAT YOU LOVE HER SO MUCH, AND NO WONDER. THERE IS A GREAT CLICKER FORUM THAT CAN GIVE ADVICE.
IT IS A YAHOO GROUP CALLED TRAINING LEVELS.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK WITH YOUR 'KID' AND PERSISTENCE WILL PAY OFF, IF SHE DOESN'T LICK YOU TO DEATH FIRST. ;)
MY TWO MINIDOGS (A MINI MALTESE AND A CROSS BREED) COULD DO WITH SOME MORE TRAINING BUT AT LEAST AT 6 LBS EACH THEY ARE RELATIVELY EASY TO HANDLE.
LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT NON-MS PARTS OF PEOPLES LIVES.

THE PROBLEM WITH THIS OVER SIZE PUP, JUST PICTURE THE BIG GOOFY DOG FROM SEASAME STREET AND THATS WHAT I HAVE.
THIS PUP IS SCARED TO DEATH OF MEN OR MALES IN GENERAL,I FOUND THIS OUT TONIGHT WHEN MY SON AND HIS WRESTLING BUDDIES CAME IN.SHE WENT TO HER BLANKET AND TRIED TO HIDE HER HEAD UNDER THE COUCH AND JUST SHOOK.
MY PUP NEEDS A SHRINK OR PROZAC I HAVEN'T DECIDED WHICH ONE.
SHE'S BEEN REALLY GOOD ABOUT THE PAWS AFTER I HAVE BEEN TELLING HER TO " LEAVE IT " WHEN SHE PAWS AT ME. I HAVE BEEN TELLING HER TO SHAKE AND GIVE HER TREAT.SHE'S LEARNING THE CONCEPT.
SHE HAS NO AGGRESSIVE BONE IN HER BODY AND ITS REALLY HARD TO GET MAD AT HER , USUALLY SHE LISTENS REAL WELL.
WHEN SHE HOLDS ME DOWN TO LICK MY FACE IS WHEN SHE WANTS ME AWAKE OR MY ATTENTION.
ITS JUST GONNA TAKE A LOT OF WORK AND UNDO WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO HER.
MY OLDER NEWFIE HAS SHOWED HER ALOT AND HAS SHOWED HER ITS OKAY TO TRUST OTHERS.
I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW HOW THEY TRAMATIZED THIS BEAUTIFUL PUP AND WHY.
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE AND WEB SITES,I CONTACTED THE NEWFIE RESCUE AND THEY WERE MORE THAN WILLING TO TAKE HER OFF MY HANDS,BUT DIDN'T OFFER MUCH SUPPORT. I POLITELY TOLD THEM NO THANK YOU,I AND THIS PUP HAVE GOTTEN TO CLOSE , SHE'S BEEN TRAMATIZED ENOUGH.
ITS JUST GONNA TAKE SOME TIME AND PATIENTS.

HEY T
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT DOG YOU HAVE THERE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WOULD BE TO TRY 'CLICKER TRAINING'. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED THAT?
IT IS GREAT, VERY EASY TO LEARN, AND TOTALLY POSITIVE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE YOU SOME LINKS OR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO START IF YOU WOULD WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY.

I TYPED OUT THIS HUGE DETAILED POST AND SENT IT INTO CYBERSPACE - I HOPE A NEWFIE OWNER GETS IT, LOL!
ANYWAY, I KNOW THAT LICKING YOUR FACE IS CUTE, ALTHOUGH ANNOYING AFTER A WHILE. HOWEVER, THE PULLING YOU TO THE FLOOR OR KNOCKING YOU DOWN TO STAND OVER YOU TO DO SO IS THE PROBLEM, AND IT IS A PROBLEM.
DOGS ARE PACK ANIMALS. IN THE DOG WORLD, STANDING OVER YOU IS ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH DOMINANCE OVER YOU, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS BEHAVIOR, REGARDLESS OF IT'S ORIGINS, BE EXTINGUISHED BEFORE SHE GETS ANY BIGGER AND ACCIDENTALLY HURTS YOU. YOU MUST MAINTAIN THAT YOU ARE THE "ALPHA" OF YOUR "PACK". LOSING CONTROL OVER A DOG THAT BIG CAN BE DISASTEROUS - JUST THINK OF MY BROTHER'S REPEATEDLY BROKEN WINDOWS.
EVEN BEHAVIORS BORN OF PAST ABUSES NEED TO BE REMEDIED - AND CAN BE IN A VERY KIND WAY. ESPECIALLY WITH A BREED THAT LARGE. THE FEARS TOO NEED ADDRESSED. FEARS IN DOGS CAN LEAD TO FEAR BITING. TEACHING YOUR BABY HOW TO FUNCTION APPROPRIATELY IN A PACK IS LOVING THEM. IF THEY DO NOT LEARN THIS, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STAY IN THEIR PACK, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM.
ANYWAY, DOWN OFF MY DOGGY SOAPBOX. HERE ARE SOME WEBSITES YOU CAN LOOK AT FOR HELP WITH TRAINING YOUR ROWDY FOUR-LEGGED TEEN. SL'S IDEA RE CESAR MILLAN IS A GOOD IDEA. I WNE TO HIS WEBSITE AND THERE IS A LINK FOR GETTING ON THE SHOW - YOUR STORY WOULD CERTAINLY BE A REFRESHING CHANGE FROM THE NORM.

THIS PUP IS LIKE A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD.
SHE DOES NOT GET INTO ANYTHING, SHE IS HOUSE BROKE, SHE'LL FETCH AND BRING IT BACK, SITS AT THE BACK DOOR AND HANDS YOU A PAW TO BE WIPED OFF.IF I TELL HER TO SIT AND STAY SHE'LL STAY IN THAT SPOT FOREVER. I CAN PUT A PLATE OF PEOPLE FOOD ON THE FLOOR AND TELL BOTH DOGS TO LEAVE IT AND THEY NEVER TOUCH IT.
THIS IS MY 4TH NEWFIE, ALL HAVE BEEN HOUSE DOGS.MY 4 YEAR OLD IS GREAT.
WHEN IT COMES TO ME SHE JUST THINKS SHE HAS TO HAVE MY UNDIVIDED ATTENTION WHEN SHE WANTS ITS. SHE'S VERY PERSISTANT .
I LET HER IN TO DAY,TURNED TO GET THEM THERE DOGGIE TREATS AND THIS PUP CRACKED ME IN THE RUMP AND THERE I WENT,SHE STANDS OVER ME WAGGING HER TAIL TRYING TO GIVE ME KISSES.
I WAS TRYING TO WRITE A LETTER TODAY AND SHE JUST TOOK HER PAWS AND TOOK THE PENCIL RIGHT OUT OF MY HAND.SHE NEVER CHEWED IT.
I TRIED TO TAKE A NAP AND SHE HAD TO POUNCE ME WET PAWS AND ALL TO HOLD ME DOWN TO LICK MY FACE ,JUST TO GET ME UP.
OTHER THAN HER ANTICS OF TRYING TO HAVE MY ATTENTION ALL THE TIME SHE IS A GREAT PUP,SHE'S SCARED OF STRANGERS,OTHER DOGS,CARD BOARD BOXES,PAPER BAGS, DON'T LIKE THE VACCUMES.
SHE'S BASICALLY AFRAID OF THINGS BEING OUT OF PLACE,SHE'LL WALK A MILE AROUND THINGS AS TO CHECK THEM OUT.
SHE'S VERY LOVING,BUT A VERY LARGE HEAVY PUP FOR 6 MONTHS AND HAS HUGE PAWS,THAT SHE USES LIKE A MONKEY WOULD.
I LOVE THIS BREED ,THEY ARE GENTLE GIANTS,BUT MY YOUNG ONE HASN'T LEARNED HOW BIG SHE ACTUALLY IS.
THANKS FOR ALL THE TIPS

HEY T,
MY DOG IS SMALL, JUST 3 LBS, BUT STILL HAD TO BREAK HIM OF THINGS.
SINCE SHE'S SKIDDISH, AND YOU WANT TO USE KIT GLOVES A BIT FROM THE ABUSE. I SUGGEST THAT YOU GO WITH A DISTRACTION TYPE BEHAVIOR. HAVE SOMETHING BY YOUR SIDE, THAT YOU CAN GRAB, AND GET HER USE TO DOING SOMETHING ELSE THAN HOLDING YOU DOWN AND LAPPING YOU UP. . .HA/HA
OF COURSE THE REPETITION WILL SET IN, AND THEN IT WILL BECOME MORE OF THE NORM.
WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE IS SINCE SHE'S 6 MONTHS, YOU STILL HAVE SOME TIME TO BREAK THE HABIT, AFTER A YEAR, IT WILL GET MORE DIFFICULT, AS THEN YOU DEAL W/THE TEEN (FOR THEM) YEARS FOR THEM WHERE THEY ACT LIKE YOU NEVER TAUGHT THEM ANYTHING BEFORE . . .ha/ha. . TYPICAL TEENAGER TYPE BEHAVIOR. . .
I WOULD GO W/THE DISTRACTION, AND ONE WORD COMMAND - ONE ALREADY LEARNED, LIKE 'NO' AND 'SIT' FIRMLY - VERY FIRMLY STATED. . . .AND THEN HAVE THE REWARD/TREAT READY . . .
GOOD LUCK 'T' MY NEIGHBOR IS A DOG TRAINER, AND IF I SEE HIM, I'LL PASS ALONG ANY ADVICE. . .HE'S LIKE CESAR MILAN, THE DOG WHISPERER. ..HA/HA. . .THAT IS AN AWESOME SHOW TO GET TIPS FROM TOO. .
be well,

Bless you for giving rescue dogs a home. But Newfies are ssssoobig! Does she know any obedience yet? Like sit or stay? If she does and obeys, you could give her a treat.. 4-H now has dog obedience clubs. Maybe you could find a club member willing to work with your pup. Is she scared of other dogs? If so, that wouldn't work out. Sounds like you're going to have to be creative! My 21lb Main Coon cat uses his paws like hands too. And walks across my chest in the middle of the night. I think I'm going to have to shut my bedroom door. But he is VERY vocal when he wants something.He never purrs, but he sure talks loud! What would we do without our animals. They give us such unconditional love. Good luck, and be careful when you fall on the floor! LOL...Maggie
SWEETIE,
I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO FOR YOU AND YOUR HUBBY.I HOPE HUBBY IS GETTING TO FEEL BETTER SOON.MY STEP FATHER HAD THAT PROCEEDURE DONE AND IT TOOK HIM A FEW WEEKS TO GET BACK TO HIS OWN SELF.
FOR YOUR SPASMS ,MY HEART BREAKS FOR YOU,I KNOW HOW THEY CAN APPEAR AND IT GETS EMBARRASSING.
HAVE YOU TRIED COMPLETELY STRETCHING ALL YOUR MUSCLES, I KNOW IT SOUNDS OFF THE WALL BUT IT DOES HELP IN REDUCING THEM.
I ENDED UP IN 2 DIFFERENT ER'S THIS WEEK.MONDAY I HAD RIGHT SIDE WEEKNESS AND HAND TREMOR,FELT LIKE I SWALLOWED A MILK SHAKE MACHINE,MY NEURO SAID IT WAS COMING FROM MY BACK.
THE NEXT NIGHT CELEBRATING MY OLDEST DAUGHTERS 22ND BIRTHADAY,MY WHOLE RIGHT SIDE WENT NUMB,HAD NO USE OF IT,SO MY X-HUBBY DROVE ME 50 MINUTES AWAY TO THE MS CLINIC I DO GO TO,THEY HAVE A ER.
IT WAS ANOTHER ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY NEWFIES,I COULDN'T SHOW AND THEY ARE BEUTIES,THEY EACH HAVE A DROPPED EYE SO THEY GET ALL MY ATTENTION AND LOVE.HOURS OF MOMMY TIME,HUGS ,KISSES AND THEY FIGHT OVER THE COUCH.
WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH FAITHFUL COMPANIONS,IF I CAN JUST GET THIS PUP FROM USING THEM PAWS THE WAY SHE DOES.
THE LIMBO---I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT,HA THIS 42 YEAR OLD WOMEN COULDN'T NOW.
I PRAY YA ALL GET OUT OF LIMBO LAND AND GET A PROPER DX AND BE TREATED.
SENDING YA HUGS,PRAYERS AND MANY HAPPY THOUGHTS.

MY IRISH PUP (16 MONTHS IS STILL A PUP) USES HIS PAWS LIKE THAT TOO. IT'S FUNNY AND ALL, BUT CAN PULL MY FEET OUT FORM UNDER ME IF HE WANTS TO! I WILL FIND THE NEWFIE CLUB INFO FOR OHIO FOR YOU. I SHOWED SOME OF MY IRISH, SO I HAVE THAT SORT OF STUFF FLOATING AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE. CAN LOOK INTO THEM DOING IT FOR FREE TOO - THEY MAY DO IT TO SAVE THE HOME.
MY LATEST BABY'S BITE IS JUST A HAIR OFF, JUST ENOUGH TO NOT SHOW HIM. SHAME -HE'S A BEAUTY! OH WELL, HE'LL JUST HAVE TO LAY ONT HE COUCH WITH HIS MOMMA AND BE HUGGED AND KISSED WITHIN INCHES OF HIS LIFE!!!

TODAY @ WORK WAS RIDICULOUS - THUMB AND FOREFINGER JUMPING ALL THROUGH A MEETING W/ ONE OF MY STAFF; LATER MY NECKA ND THE MUSCLES UP THE SIDE OF MY HEAD WERE SPASMING - HURT LIKE A SON OF A GUN. LEGS JUST GAVE UP AROUND 4:30, COULDN'T DRIVE HOME. REALLY EMBARASSING!
NO MORE WORD ON THE REST OF THE LP RESULTS. I HAVE TO FIND THE COPY I MADE OF THE SCRIPT TO PROVE THE OTHER TESTS THAT WERE TO HAVE BEEN RUN ON THE CSF. NO WORD RE THE (HOPEFULLY) ERROR REFERRING TO ME AS A 42 YR OLD WOMAN WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS EITHER. AINT LIMBO GRAND???!!

PENN SWEETIE I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU,HAVE YOU GOT YOUR TEST RESULTS YET.YOU SURE HAVE BEEN ON MY MIND.HOW ARE YOU DOING?
THIS PUP JUST BLOWS MY MIND , SHE IS SO OVERLY SWEAT ,BUT TERRIBLY ABUSED OR TRAMATIZED BY NOICES.
SHE IS SO LOVING AND A PLEASER, I HAVE NEVER HAD A DOG EVER USE THEIR PAWS THE WAY THIS PUP DOES. JUST LIKE WE USE OUR HANDS.
SHE'S EASILY TRAINED EXCEPT FOR THE WAY SHE USES HER PAWS.
NEWFIES ARE DETERMINED DOGS,I CAN SEE ONE GOING THROUGH A CLOSED WINDOW TO GET OUT.
MY BIG NEWFIE (A RESCUE PUP 4 YEARS AGO) I TAUGHT HER HOW TO BOX,UNTIL SHE GOT ME A GOOD ONE AND I HAD TO HAVE 4 TEETH SURGICALLY REMOVED BECAUSE SHE BROKE THEM OFF.
I LIVE IN OHIO,RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO YA,MY HUBBY OR EX HE'S FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
I'D LOVE TO HAVE THIS PUP TRAINED,BUT I GET VERY LITTLE IN SOCIAL SECURITY,SO TRYING TO PAY FOR A TRAINER I CAN'T DO RIGHT NOW.
HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER.

YOU MIGHT TRY ASKING THE CLOSEST NEWFIE BREED CLUB OR BREED RESCUE TO YOU - IF YOU TELL THEM YOUR PREDICAMENT, THEY MAY BE WILLING TO SEND SOMEONE OUT TO HELP YOU RETRAIN AWAY FROM THESE BEHAVIORS. WHAT STATE ARE YOU IN? I CAN HELP YOU FIND THE NEAREST BREED CLUB OR RESCUE IF YOU NEED HELP. BREED CLUBA ARE VERY DEDICATED TO KEEPING DOGS IN THEIR HOMES, SO I CAN'T IMAGINE THEM NOT BEING WILLING TO HELP.
IF NOT, TRY A TRAINER. GIVEN YOUR SITUATION, AGAIN THEY MAY BE WILLING TO COME OUT FOR LITTLE OR NO MONEY. DUE TO MY LINE OF WORK, I'M GOOD AT FINDING THINGS FOR LITTLE OR NO MONEY, LOL! IT'S WORTH A SHOT
