Hello ,
I need help I need an answer to this,


I recently started to date a gentalman...he has a American Bull, 7months old... her name is Rascle..I will call her (Raz).The onwer has alot of property needs to be protected ..I smoke.. .. I have to go outside while Im there...so Rascle greets me and of course I show affection.This Gentaman allowed me contact with Raz such as petting , playing etc. for several weeks now..The owners main concern is protection of the ground and porperty..this is vital due to the area...Last night we were inclined to believe someone was stalking the gorunds.. This morning I went outside had my coffee and smoke , Raz always comes to me and plays and huggs me..I took a walk around the property with Raz and played with her a bit....I returned to the porch , the owner confronted me and asked me not to asscociate with his dog....I ask how do I do this?He said, I was to tell Raz to GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!.....I have a hard time with this as I cannot see how this is gong to work for Raz's benifit as well as mine, being I have to go outside and be around Raz..I have a very hard time Denying her affection of uncondtional love and when I tried this Raz looks at me as if I just cut her heart out very hurtful TO ME AND HER...Im animal sensitive,Im not a trainer.. I have done my share of communicating and working with all animals , I have healed and done numorus wonderful things .... some may find this strange or more lack of understanding. Anyway" Im lost" , ..His concern is, he does not want Rascle to get familar with anyone ( but he allowed it with me) until after this morning.. Raz did do her job last night ....he wants her strictly a guard dog...I was also invited on a trip and we were going to take Raz ..Im so confused .
I dont see how this is going train her....What to hate me???? I left aburtly wiith tears and so much confusion..I started thinking for a solution as I was on my way home- Not sure if this is the right one....I was thinking the owner should get a big playpen for Raz.. and during the night to allow her to roam...
Im sooooooooooo confused
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Have a nice day

i have three german shepherds they are guard dogs .i have never herd of this before .my girls will protect whats theres .but i have people over all the time and they are around people all the time ,they still let me know if some one is there long before they get here even if they know them .seems he wants a mean dog and thats what hes gana get .sorry but to me he sounds like a but head that shouldnt have a dog .thats just me

I think it would be unfair to Raz to keep her penned up in a playpen all day long... especially since she's been allowed to roam the property for so long. It's not right that the owner allowed you to get attached to the dog and then told you to yell at it. I'm sure the dog has bonded with the owner as well as you. Isn't it a good thing that the dog likes you? You're on the property constantly, why should you fear it? Isn't the purpose of a guard dog to keep strangers off property?... not the people who belong there. Try talking to the guy you're dating about it, see what he thinks of the situation, then talk to the owner again.

I agree with Kelly. I also don't think it's right, especially since you are on the property. Why didn't he stop it before the bonding between you and the dog began? I would feel really weird and uncomfortable yelling at a dog when it did nothing wrong after you both have been nothing but friendly to eachother.

I would have a talk with the dog owner about this. :???:

I think that is so wrong. That poor dog. Why can't a guard dog still have love and attention? I am not familiar with training for guard dog but he surely doesn't want her to be mean to visitors does he? Dogs were made for love and attention and I don't know how you can stand to be mean to her like that. Makes me wonder about him....

I feel bad for this dog. The owner of this dog is your boyfriend correct?And he wants you around but not around his dog whom he is going to take on a trip along with you? Hmmmmm odd to me. He cant expect you to be around raz and ignore as if she does not exist.

There is no reason that this dog (or any other) should be restricted from human contact, he has not done his homework. This guy has no idea what he is doing, and this dog is not a trained "Century" dog. All he is doing is inviting a lawsuit. If this dog is made to be aggresive towards people and then bites any one (tresspasser or not) he can be sued. Although, it is his dog and if he has changed his mind about you petting it then stop- go about your buissness ( I would refuse to yell at the dog ) just ignore it, or move. Unless you see him abuse or neglet the dog there is nothing you can do.

Sucky situation, Good Luck with that one, BiggerDog
