It ain't around here. Kids, Daughter in Law,, Son in Law, Girlfriend,

AAARRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Six dogs. You said six, as in 6. Six dogs.

Six as in two Border Collies, two Australian Blue Heelers, one English
Bulldog, one German Shepard. At the moment, they are playing keep
away with each other in the play pen in the back yard.

Shortly, they will be brought in and the kids will help me give them
all baths, wash/dry and then to their crates for a couple of hours
while the dinner table is set up. One dinner is finished, they are
let out to join in the celebrations.

It's kind of charming actually. They all get together and take over a
corner of the living room and just sit watching the activities.

I trained each and every one of them and they are all excellent dogs.

Keep your dog opinions to yourself.

Even the border collies behave? How on earth did you accomplish that? They
always seem to have a natural internal source of methamphetamines.

Training, training and more training. Both of them go through an hour
every other day, we run through all the obedience commands, then we
train a on a skill like tracking or herding (the farmer in back of me
lends his heifers for that) and then it's play time. Play can be any
number of "events" - mostly high energy events like chasing balls or
playing soccer.

They are great dogs.

This is a serious question: What's the most effective, yet socially
acceptable way to get SOMEONE ELSE'S dog to stop jumping on you, if the
someone else is a person you'd like to speak to again in the future, even
though they're sort of clueless dolts when it comes to their dog?

Knuckles on the forehead or a kick in the nuts will usually work, along with a nice,
loud, "NO!"

Doug,
A gun to the forehead seems to work.

Either that or a strong "Sit". If that doesn't work, as the dog starts to
jump up bring your knee up so he bounces his chest into your knee.

If those don't work, try a gun to the forehead.

Other than getting the other person to control their dog?

Simplest and most effective is to grab their paws and not let go -
untrained dogs hate that.

Tom's gonna yell at your for the gun suggestion. :-) Either that, or you're

I'll try the paws thing. Maybe if I give it a cigarette, too, it'll stay
occupied while I get my coat off.

Six dogs. You said six, as in 6. Six dogs.

If you can get them near a window, I could help with that. I'll even pay
for
the window repair.


Doug, you're hopeless. If *you* had a couple mean-assed dogs, you wouldn't
have to
put up the concertina wire to keep that fat guy from coming down your
chimney!

Yeah, but then I'd have dogs. There's absolutely, positively no place on my
1/4 acre I'd want used as a dog outhouse. Not ever, not under any
conditions, period. And, there's no way I'd walk a dog in some of the
weather we're going to have here over the next 4 months. I have a cat that's
very good at tripping people who don't know her antics around feet. If
there's ever an intruder here, I'm sure she'd create at least 30 seconds of
mayhem, which would give me time to load up. :-)

Get yourself a taser.

You're crazier than I am. That's not good. I'm gonna have to actually work
to take back the crown.

Tom,
Is it possible you want the dog to bite Doug
