  • [quote1314884648=babigirl] Don't be embarrassed by asking questions, everyone starts some where. I feel I only know a page, in a very large book about these wonderful creatures. Imo~There is two parts to this. Because it also depends on the dog that you bring into your home. Because bringing say a highly reactive Gsd could act in every way that you are afraid of. Or with patience and Training (and lets not forget a good dog) you may have the best animal you have ever encountered. I find the more time I invest into an animal, the more it thrives. But...I'm also doing it right. The same dog could go to a bad trainer and turn out completely different. So where I'm going with this is...Get a good dog...Spend a LOT of time socializing while creating the proper attitude. Next step is, find a experienced trainer and sponge as much knowlegde you can! And on a side Note...I'm loud, wrestle with my hubby, he will throw me around while playing....And none of my dogs have ever reacted. :) We also have kids running around too! [/quote1314884648] Thank you for the kind words:) I think selecting the right dog is huge, without the right template you can never complete the project. I like the Alano because they are pack animals and also work as livestock guardians in a sense. Knowing that I have 3 cats and a tiny rat dog I have been conscious of what I bring home because I don't want to deal with crating and rotating type of deal. Obviously when we are not home everyone would be crated except the guardian dog so she would have complete access to the house, my only concern is that my cats would also be loose so I don't want to come home to a dead cat. I have left bernie for a couple of hours with my cats and I come home to find him on the same spot on the couch napping lol I really like what you have done with your neos and I remember you telling me that they are not rank driven. It is refreshing to hear that they can withstand you horse playing with your husband and that they dont get involved. HAs Eragon changed at all since he started training? My only concern with a Neo is that I don't want a dog over 100 pounds if I could get my hands on old school throwback runt I would be very interested lol
