Personally, I think you're taking these hits on the chin well, but the better strategy is to lean away from the punches, not into them.

Man. I can't find a good source here to buy in bulk. Only a steak at a time, at almost $20 per. Very jelly.
Yeah, 41 was the number I had in all sports. Liked to think I was above it all.

Hahahha above it all.
You wouldn't be above getting training for an overly aggressive, poorly tempered dog though, would you?

I'm sure Urblock would love to take a small dose of tranquilizer to take the edge off!

What if his job is to keep the house/family safe? Nice dogs don't do the best job of that.

One of the friendliest large breed dogs i ever owned was a 110 pound Rottweiler. I actually wanted another Rottie but was discouraged by my homeowners insurance agent if i was to get one. Said if i get a Rott, or Dobe,Akita,Chow,Pitbull and a few others my rates would go up a few hundred dollars a year . Said German Shepard and Labs were ok. Didnt want Shepard or Lab, so i got the BoerBoel. Insurance agent asked me what is a Boerboel? I knew it was good to have .

Well trained dogs do, and they follow commands, and chill when good peeps are around. I had a 150 lb Newf who would scare anything away, but the biggest suck when he was instructed to chill with company or when visiting. My brother had an English mastiff, about 200lbs, and was much the same. Although both breeds do have a naturally mellow temperament. Both were extremely protective and watchful of children.

I always tell the kids if they want to play outside to take the dog. I'll watch them from the window , and notice the dog will circle them then sit. Get up circle them again then sit in a different spot. All while looking in the woods. I didnt train him to do that, i guess it's just in him to protect the kids.

Amazing creatures. I miss having a dog. I just can't do it while being an inner city dweller in a high rise. 5 more years, and I'm out, to the country in Alberta to build my retirement lodge on a piece of land I bought in the 80s. I'm jealous of you right now Lou, but my time is near.

He does not see you as pack leader. Go watch some Dog Whisperer reruns.

He does but not at the vet. I yell and he hits the floor and shows me his belly. All that goes out the window at vet time.
