What happened?

The dog is a German Shorthaired Pointer (completely different breed and personality from my English Pointer.) GSPs are often neurotic. This one is a hunting dog with no formal obedience training. Terrible recall. Was on a long leash but was refusing to come back, and eating questionable things off the ground.

I finally caught him and while I was walking him home he jumped up and nipped at my jacket and bit the leash the whole time. I politely recommended to his owners that he should have some obedience training. They don’t seem interested.

Next time I’m going to put him on a short leash and use lots of “rewards” to get him to be more interested in listening.

Dog owner's can be in complete denial about their dogs.

It's not you. It's them.

@Aspychata Yup… sums up most of my clients. I don’t mean to be a “dog snob” but some of these things are basic dog ownership 101.

I've hunted over dogs like that. It wasn't particularly great. Owners who expect dogs to act this foolish are part of the problem. GSP's are a mess and the only thing scarcer than one with sense, is a GSP owner with more brains than the dog.
