Finally got a couple of photos of our mutt...
Looking good.
Mine is having some time running with the working dogs to let them put him in his place.
Going through a teenage phase at the moment and choosing when he wants to listen.Oh my they are both beautiful 😍

@Catogrande
A couple of hours in the crate on the back of the Ute made him understand that he wasn’t quite as shit hot as he thought
He’s pretty good, just being a teenager and breaking the rules every now and then. Makes you feel like the training has been useless but I have been told it’s just a phase and he’ll decide himself what makes an easier life.But then he’ll be cutesy and you forget what a shit he was 30 minutes before

Yep. Our wee bitch did a teenage phase and the wife fought her all the time (lots of shouting) but she has completely calmed down now, and the dog is also much better.
The dog has never fought with me and when we took her to training the bloke running it said that dogs are "sizeist" and the bigger that you are they are more likely to listen to you, or be aggressive if you are a threat. I had never heard that before.

So if the dog listens to the wife over the husband is the dog saying she's fat? That's a risky ole line to walk for any creature.

Tall mate, tall. Never, ever fat. Then there is the aggression thing, probably from both parties.

He’s getting more social interaction with other dogs now which has calmed him down a fair bit.
Really important apparently. They need their pack, you, but they need to see more of their own as well.
They are very social creatures, hence the anxiety when left alone and I don't understand people that get a dog and do that.
