Lotte - Harley - Brett

Harley's Story

In June of 2001, Harley was posted on a website for an animal shelter in Georgia that is a kill shelter, As they have no true means of humane animal control in the south, his picture was shown with an expiration date next to it. The expiration date was the unthinkable. A dedicated young woman that we worked with at the time made arrangements to have Harley and seven other puppies flown up from Georgia on United Airlines. All seven other puppies were placed. Many people half-heartedly claimed they would give Harley a home only to back out at the last minute.

Australian Shepherd

Temperament: The breed is an energetic dog that requires exercise and enjoys working, whether it is learning and practicing tricks, competing in dog agility, or any other physically and mentally involving activity.

Dogs with strong working instinct may show more reserved, guarding behaviors along with a tendency to chase or nip at strangers. Its protective instinct and behaviors can be frightening to children, strangers, and small animals. They are kind, loving, and devoted to those they know. They are very loyal to their owners, and are rewarding dogs if treated well. Because the breed was developed to serve on the ranch, a job which includes being protective of its property, it is inclined to bark warnings about neighborhood activity, but it is not an obsessively barking dog.

The Aussie is intelligent, learns quickly, and loves to play. This means that a bored, neglected, unexercised Aussie will invent its own games, activities, and jobs, which to a busy owner might appear to be hyperactivity: for example, an Aussie may go from being at rest to running at top speed for several 'laps' around the house before returning to rest. Without something to amuse them, Aussies often become destructive. Aussies also do best with plenty of human companionship: they are often called "velcro" for their strong desire to always be near their owners and for their tendency to form intense, devoted bonds with select people. Recent studies have also shown that shepherds work well with special-needs kids and babies.

The Australian Shepherd has a reputation as a highly intelligent and versatile stock dog with a range of working styles. A good working Aussie is quick, thoughtful, and easy with its stock. The ability for the breed to adapt to the situation and think for itself makes it an excellent all-around worker. For this reason the Aussie is often chosen to work unusual livestock such as ducks, geese, and commercially raised rabbits.

The Australian Shepherd, though a great dog for a family with an abundance of time, can become extremely destructive if left alone, or in small spaces. They are known for digging holes, tearing up lawns, and chewing anything in sight if they become restless. These dogs require a minimum of 2-3 hours a day of play and exercise and need constant attention. The dogs thrive in rural, ranch like conditions, but would be a nightmare for any busy group of people living in a city or suburb. When restless, they will often try to "herd" their owners which may include excessive jumping, snapping, and biting. Read More

Boxer

Developed in Germany, the Boxer is a breed of stocky, medium-sized, short-haired dog. The coat is smooth and fawn, brindled,white, or even reverse brindled with or without white markings. Boxers are brachycephalic (they have broad, short skulls), and have a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws and a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the English Bulldog and the now extinct Bullenbeisser and is part of the Molosser, mastiff group.

Temperament: The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most solicitous attention. He is renowned from olden times for his great love and faithfulness to his master and household. He is harmless in the family, but distrustful of strangers, bright and friendly of temperament at play, but brave and determined when aroused. His intelligence and willing tractability, his modesty and cleanliness make him a highly desirable family dog and cheerful companion. He is the soul of honesty and loyalty, and is never false or treacherous even in his old age. Read More

So You Think You Want a High Drive Puppy - Leerburg.com

Temperament: Like many working dogs, Australian Cattle Dogs have high energy levels and active minds. The breed ranks 10th in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, rated as one of the most intelligent dogs ranked by obedience command trainability. Cattle Dogs need plenty of exercise, companionship and a job to do, so non-working dogs need to participate in dog sports, learning tricks, or other activities that engage their body and mind.

When on home ground, Australian Cattle Dogs are happy, affectionate, and playful pets. However, they are reserved with strangers and naturally cautious in new situations. Their attitude to strangers makes them perfect guard dogs, when trained for this task, and family pets can be socialized to become accustomed to a variety of people from an early age. They are good with older, considerate children, but are known to herd people by nipping at their heels, particularly younger children who run and squeal. By the time puppies are weaned, they should have learned that the company of people is pleasurable, and that responding to cues from a person is rewarding, bringing a friendly voice, a pat, an interesting activity, or food. The bond that this breed can create with its owner is very strong and will leave the dog feeling very protective towards the owner; typically resulting in the dog's never being too far from the owner's side. Aggression in Australian Cattle Dogs is more likely to be directed at strangers than owners or dogs.

To relieve the urge to nip, the dogs can be encouraged to pick up and chew a toy or carry objects such as a ball or a basket, and they can be taught bite control from an early age. They are 'mouthy' dogs that will use their mouths to attract attention, or to occupy themselves. Any toy left with them needs to be extremely robust if it is to last.

While Australian Cattle Dogs generally work silently, they will bark in alarm or to attract attention. They have a distinctive intense, high-pitched bark which can be particularly irritating. Barking can be a sign of boredom or frustration; however research shows that pet dogs increase their vocalization when raised in a noisy environment.

Australian Cattle Dogs respond well to familiar dogs, however the establishing of a pecking order in a multi-dog household can result in a few scuffles. If a Cattle Dog is put in any situation where it feels threatened or challenged, it can respond with aggressiveness towards other dogs.

Wee-Chon

Bichon Frise - West Highland White Terrier (Westie) Hybrid

The Wee-Chon is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Bichon Frise and the Westie. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Kelly Freed, M.D.

My family and I have two mixed breed dogs that are one year old. They are great dogs with a lot of energy who often ran after deer while on walks and jumped over our four foot yard fence at home.

My husband wanted to try electronic collars but I was very reluctant. However, the excellent training with e-collars with Dick Bernard has completely changed my mind. Our dogs can now walk off leash in full control and we rarely use the e-collars except for environmental training purposes. The dog walks, which became stressful, are now completely enjoyable.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dick Bernhard and the e-collars. I do believe you need an experienced trainer like Dick if you are considering an e-collar for your dog or, the experience may turn out to be completely different.

You owe it to yourself and your dogs to hire a top rate trainer like Mr. Bernhard.

Cairn Terriers

Temperament: Cairn Terriers are adventurous, intelligent, strong, and loyal. Like most terriers, they love to dig after real or imagined prey. Cairn Terriers have a strong prey instinct and will need comprehensive training. However, they are intelligent and, although willful, can be trained. Training of the Cairn Terrier has the best results when training as a puppy, as they become unwillfully stubborn. Although it is often said that they are disobedient, this is not the case provided correct training is applied.

Cairns are working dogs and are still used as such in parts of Scotland. Cairn Terriers generally adapt well to children and are suitable family dogs.

Cairne terriers are also found to be nervous and frightened when brought to a new home but with correct training he/she will finally break out of it. Read More

Hello Mr. Bernhard,

Just a little update on "life with Sage". We continue to train her for more obedience competitions and now are preparing for field events. Most recently we had her evaluated for her CCA ( certification of conformation assessment) no easy task for a gal like Sage. To have to put up with extensive evaluation by 3 judges. Not sages cup of tea! She did an outstanding job by tolerating the entire process. I thought you be entertained to know she got a perfect 10 by one of the judges in temperment. Sage and I have come a long way. I thank you for giving me the insight and direction I needed to trust myself and my life long companion Sage. I will keep you posted on our accomplishments.

Thanks

Alicia

We thought we would give some background on remote training collars, their origin and abilities. The remote collars we refer to today are collars that allow you to handle a remote hand held device that emits a vibration, or a mild electrical impulse much like the tens unit usedby your physical therapist. This is under your control, much like a leash is used.

This used with correct leash direction in the beginning stages helps the dog learn very quickly because his right or good behavior is marked immediately as is his wrong or incorrect behaviors are.
