Well as some of you may have read in the training forums I have been having trouble with kieran, my 13 month old American Bulldog. We have been training, using the advice of some other forum members, and it is going great. He always has listened pretty well, it was his agression that worried me.
Well 2 nights ago, there were 30 car windows smashed on our street and the two streets going off of it, as well as 4 houses broken into 1 on our street and the other 3 spread throughout the town. Well I was laying in bed, hey i get up early, im in bed by 9, and i had kierans crate in my bedroom. I was half asleep and he starts wimpering. I told him to hush up and he kept wineing..So now im awake. And just starts going beserk. Now when someone comes to the door, he gets excited. he will jump around and if hes in his cage, like when my little sisters or brothers come to visit, then he will push on the cage door to get out. But he was just going crazy! Like growling and nashing his teeth. So i got up, he calmed down, but i could tell her was agitated. Then i heard it, someone was walking around downstairs. I opened the cage and he came out and stood next to me, hair on end. I told my fiancee to get in the closet and call the police, and i just Yelled KIERAN GET HIM! He ****ing booked through the house and out the back door. I ran out the front door. Theres really only two ways to go from the back yard and thats out the front yard. I open the front door and hes sitting at the front of the yard going crazy. I yelled to him and he came back. He stopped to look a few times, but he came back to me. I opened the door and he went right in and walked up stairs. Stopped to nuzzle my fiancee for a few moments and then right into his cage to lay down. The police just left a little bit ago, still no leads into who is doing this **** but whatever.
Sorry for the long story but this is a huge advance for him in his training. I have close to 15 grand in electronics downstairs not including our laptops in the office, as well as the safe. Plus all my customers computers, testing equipment, and my tools and climbing gear for work. I could have lost all of that if not for him. He new the difference between someone i had invited and someone invading my house, he didnt leave the yard when he was after someone and he came back to me when called.
Sorry im just really happy right now.
