The Bubbo
I can imagine one of my dogs having that done to him, but not by me. I got a dog from the pound on a rebound when I lost my last retriever. We went to three local pounds and saw lots of nice looking dogs with bad habits. I then I spotted "Harry". He was a huge pup and gorgeous. It was love at fist sight. He was a 1 1-2 year old mutt that we were told was Irish Wolfhound but turned out to be a Bouvier and German Shepherd mix. He is a beautiful dog, but he is stupid and was totally untrained. He wasn't house trained, he went berserk anytime someone walked down our road or a car pulled in the driveway. He wasn't leash trained. When I put him in the kennel that my Labs had used years within an hour he had worn a path around the inside edge and turned the entire thing to mutt by teh next day.

I had to house train Harry. I had to leash train him. I had to get him to cut back on the barking in the house, so sit, lay, stay, come when called. He learned. He had never been trained. He must have driven his previous owner crazy. I almost took him back to the pound. I
Harry has turned into a really nice dog. He learned to behave. He mellowed with age. I now walk him without a leash and he will heel beautifully. Then I can set him loose and he comes running back when called.
