He appears to be on a path to righteousness and I'm prepared to encourage and support that so long as he doesn't backslide.

Perfect! How's your lab doing?

He is doing OK but he still has a running away problem.
We have an appointment with a therapist tuesday.
(free from Lab Rescue of Florida but I am going to give them a
donation)

Please let us know what he (she) says. My pointer bolted half a dozen times, but
appears to be getting better about it. She doesn't go screaming out the front
door if it's left open a bit too long. And, she doesn't bolt out of the front
seat, over my lap, when I open the car door.

The problem is not simply the running away. Mr Ed seems to actually
have a total change in personality. He doesn't even look the same.
There is a desperate look in his eyes and he seems totally deaf to
anything you say to him. Usually he is very well behaved. The trainer
says that is not unusual in Yellow Labs. Some are worse than others. I
am curious what she comes up with.

Ask that therapist for any quick recommendations on helping a dog overcome fear
of automobiles (*not* motion sickness - fear). This stuff - Cerenia -
http://tinyurl.com/buncyn*- *was prescribed by our vet, and works well to stop
the vomiting. But it doesn't get rid of the fear. And, it's not for use on a
long trip of several days or more. And, it ain't cheap!

Ed doesn't have that problem at all. A car ride (or even a ride in my
golf cart) seems to calm him down. That is how I go get him if he is
really "off"
Sometimes he will just come in the back door of the screen cage but he
immediately jumps in the pool and won't come out. I get the same look.

When mine bolts, it 's much the same thing. She responds to nothing, just runs
as fast as she can. The last couple times, she actually returned. Time before
last was at a campground, and we thought she was gone. She sailed around the
outer perimeter of the campground and then hit the woods. I gave up chasing her,
which did no good anyway. But, after about ten minutes she was found by my
brother-in-law about 50 yards from the trailer. She was cowering on the ground
in a 'don't beat me' mode. I think maybe her previous owners must have beat her
every now and then. She's weird.

Ed just got back from his morning run. I am not sure where he went but
these days he has a whole circuit of gopher tortoises he has to bark
at and I heard him working his way down the FPL easement. A few
minutes later he trotted in through the garage and jumped in the pool.
I can almost live with that, *;-)

He still would not get out of the pool and acted like he was in
trouble. I finally got him in the house and he is pacing around. I did
get some video for the trainer. The change in personality is really
pronounced- Hide quoted text -

I would be real interested in that process. Has your trainer done any
specific "drills" with the dog, or changed your behavior or way of
communication/what message you send the dog?

You seem to be the biggest instigator of trouble in rec.boats. Now go
in the corner for the next 30 minutes and when you are ready to stop
stirring up ****, you can come back out.

In other words Paul, no one is going to tell the spoofers what to do.
Careful or they will be spoofing you next. It's happened to the best of us.

Tomorrow is our first appointment. Mr Ed has some history tho. He was
surrendered twice at the pound before I got him and he seems to know
about shock collars, choke collars, knows how to open a slider and a
regular chain link gate (with the U shaped latch) but he can jump over
a 36" fence. He also knows how to open an in swing, lever handle door.
I can see why they use labs for service dogs and I am wondering if
that is where his lineage is.

I had one dog like that. We were in the country so I didn't worry much
about it, just tried to keep her happy and out of trouble;)

You hear stories all the time about troublesome 'rescue dogs'.
We weren't prepared to deal with that so we went out of our way researching
breeders.... dropped down for a visit at the 2 or 3 week stage etc.
Seems to have worked out so far... except my Springer freaks out at night
when I walk him on a leash. Barks at everything.
During the day at our off-leash park... nothing seems to bother him.

I haven't seen anyone else using it as I do, including Krause. Lighten up.

I can see why you would think that asking adults to act like adults
would be offensive to someone who posts with the name of another
poster's wife.
