I'm brushing a lot to keep her ...

Re: First time chow/dog owner...

A chow out of control? No a chow that was not correctly trained and still hasn't been. A chow that only stops biting YOU because she is afraid of you...what happens when she is around someone else and you're not there?

Re: First time chow/dog owner...

Oh wait, i do have more. You can take several bites??? That is a training method? A chow is not anything about dominance. It's about leadership.

This is called a dominance roll and you never, ever, ever use it on a chow. There are two reasons why; many dog breeds will fight a dominance roll, not just ch...
