Then we got Lyman. We got her off KSL, and was not told she didn't well with kids. Well, she did really well with the 'kids' she bit 4 of 5 . A lot. She also nipped at the neighbor kids if she was out. We thought about placing an ad for her on KSL, but didn't feel good about giving her to someone, with her temperament. Then the idea of turning her in, we could have done that, but never got to it . So we were just going to keep her, and keep her away from 4 of 5. Which was half the reason we wanted a dog. That, and Trent kept getting his car broken into, and our shed kept getting broken into. We kind of felt like we needed a dog. On the 27th, we had company for fireworks (which Lyman HATED) and the kids left the gate open. That and the firework caused her to run off.
SO here we are dog less. But not for long. I came across an 8 month old German wire hair pointer. (no shedding. You could see the hair fall off Lyman when she came inside) I called to see why they were getting rid of him, and the guy said he barked and his HOA didn't like it. And his kids were going back to school, and they didn't have time for him. No biggie, we're okay with a barking dog. We're pretty far away from neighbors, and we're home all day. SO we went to go see him. Man this dog was hyper. And big (60 lbs). We decided to take him and try him out. That was a disaster. He barked a lot. And really loud. We're thinking, what have we done. So the next day we put the shock collar on him and tried it out. Didn't even phase him. And there was some guilt associated with that. So we tried the sound button that is supposed to serve as a warning before the shock. That luckily did the trick. On day of the sound button, and he no longer sits out there and barks. SO we decided to keep him. We even fixed him, in an effort to take a little wind out of his excited sails. So we now have Rusty. We don't have to worry about having company over, except he's a little hyper. But it only takes him about 2 minutes to calm down. With Lyman we always had to tell people, don't touch the dog, she bites. Rusty is a crappy leash walker, so I think we will get him a harness.
Ugly as all get out, but we like him.

What happened to Mo? Is this the same dog or am I crazy
Remote Shock Collars are one of the most effective, simplest and most humane training aids available. Remote Shock Collars are placed on a dog's neck, allowing a trainer to deliver small static corrections of varying strength by remote control. The correction the dog gets from the remote dog training collar is no different than static from walking on carpet. The benefits of working with a remote dog training collar is the trainer can immediately correct a dog's mistakes at a distance far greater than leash training allows. A Shock Collar is a safe, effective and humane way to train your dog.

Your dog isn't a very attractive dog...is he. I hope this one works for you better than the last one.
