hello che, yes i am hoping to hear some thoughts and advice from members here that i know have pets at home. dogs seem to hold grudges for a long time and it is sad coz if something terrible happened they hold on to it till you find a ways to calm him down. when it comes to his attention to black dogs and person i have no idea where he got that except with a dog. i walk him all the and i would know if something happened and my hubby will tell me if it happens in the past but so far we dont have a clue. it's funny and strange at the same time whenever i talk to him in mandarin (few sentence that i know) he will cry or show a dislike to me so sometimes i tease him about it as i feel it may help him understand that i can speak the language and so there is no need for him to be upset. he's the only dog we ever have that behaves that way, my husband and i grows up having lots of pets with us and no one behaves the way our dog now does so it is hard to find out the answers. thanks for the response., have a good one!

hello carolyn, thanks for sharing such information. i am not sure how he got such behavior, as far as learned traits i have to say that it will be impossible that he got that from either me or my hubby coz we have talked to a lot of people in different colors and we have been with them as well. i remember the only time he behaves great to a black person is when i walked him out and we saw this kind man walking his dog as well, my dog played with him but that is the only instance that he behaves well other than that he is nuts strange coz he behaves the same well even on tv. i dont know what colors dogs can see right now i am nannying a black toy poddle and he dont seem to have problems with her except of course when "colby" needs a lot of attention from me. i think you already know that our dog came from a puppy mill and he is having some trauma and behavior issues since he got hurt back in beijing. i really hope that he learned how to accept everybody and get over with all the problems he have, he used to be a very sweet and friendly to everybody and it hurts seeing that he is no longer the same. i am watching the "dog whisperer", i have tried some of his advice. my dog is afraid of any form of sewerage/drainage on the road and i thought i can give it a try and for 3 days he wont trust me going down stairs, i cried that i feel helpless that my intention is helping him and it ends up not the case. awhile ago i asked him to go with me to throw the garbage he is excited and walks like he used to but when we are about to reached the drainage i can feel that he is a bit hesitant to walk through so he uses the other way. i told my husband i am not the right one to train him as i am weak and tends to baby him and listen to what he wants and i know it is not helping him but the problems is.. if i try he ends up more afraid. anyway, thanks for sharing i know you have a lot of pets and have been to an organization that helps animals so your view and suggestion means a lot to me. have a good one!

hello vanities, sorry to hear about your allergies, some people overcome it by having a pet around them little by little, i know my hubby used to be allergic to cats but after getting one it helps him a lot so now he can have as many cat as he wants LOL yes, dogs and other kinds of pet is a huge responsibility specially if you have an aggressive dog. i know here it will cost a lot if your dog bites someone and your dog must be put down if that happens. i just cant bear that thought so i try to warn others that my dog is not a friendly one and not make our dog be with a place with so many people or dog a few is ok as it seems to help his behavior somehow but i dont want to take chances as the cost is dreadful. anyway, all kids loves dog (ok majority i guess) so i know what your kids are feeling too bad you cannot have one. thanks for being here, appreciate it. takecare

hello pie147, yes i dont understand it myself, they seem to pick one over the other. do your dog have other behavior problems too? our dog used to love anybody and plays a lot with other dogs but now he seems to be secluded and that just makes me sad as we cannot bring him anymore to dog park coz he dont to get along with them (dogs and other human). i hope your neighbor dont get mad on your dog, i have a friend who do the same thing to their neighbor so they complain about my friend and their dog. the committee asked them to either give away their dog or be put down, they dont want to do either so they just sell the home and move to a more friendly place. anyway, thanks for sharing your story at least i am not alone here in mylot. appreciate it a lot. good night!
