My Blog Entry
New to Blogging But gonna try
Well I'm not very good at keeping up with things but I'm going to give this a shot.
Both Jake and Riley have some issues and we have been working on them for over a year with a wonderful healer. They're attitudes have improved immensly and now we just need to tweak them a little.
Jake used to and still can be a very rambunctious dog. He gets excited and will nip at Riley. Riley is laid back and if Jake gets going too much and won't back off Riley lets him have it by way of attacking him. Jake when he was younger would just slink off. but now that he is older it results in a fight. So both dogs are seperate except when they are in the house with me. They have seperate pens, only one in the back yard at a time unless they are both on a run. etc. It seems to be working, Riley is much more relaxed and happier and Jake really has calmed down a lot. We continue to work with them and I know eventually they will be able to be together in the back yard to play.

Hi Tina, we've tried the long walks and loads of exercise. Jake came from a place where he was used to test the great danes that came into rescue, if they didn't like other dogs they attacked him. Now that he has grown up he's more forceful and pushy and Riley doesn't like it.
To be honest Riley is quite happy being by himself and isnt' too much into playing, he just likes doing his own thing. Jake is very clingy and energetic and needs to be worn down by playing ball and doing training. Its a long road we are on and I hope that someday we will be able to all live happily together but I'm not counting on it. But thanks for the advice

Hiya ~ How much exercise/long of a walk do they get, OUTSIDE of your yard? It sounds more like boredom and needing an outlet for energy. Mom of five
