What would you do - Page 1

What would you do If you sold a puppy to someone and they ask you your opinion on some ways to raise said puppy and then don't do what you tell them, in fact you think that what they are doing is not helping with socialization. What do you do when you talk till your blue in the face and they still don't do anything different then what they are doing. And you feel is wrong. Thanks for helping.

LOL Only had this happen 1 time...but... I repossesed the dog. I have it written in my contract that if I ever find out that the dog is being neglected I am going to take it back. I did not refund their money...I went to her house with the contract and told her we could do it the easy way....she gave me the dog.

Well the puppy is not being neglected with abuse wise just not the way that I think that it should act. Owner wont take my advice on socialization that is all the dog is happy and healthy but a freak.

glad it worked for you Palestar. was probably best for the pup. but if it was someone who wasn't intimidated you would be leaving with nothing. unfortunately many have found out that their contracts really don't hold water. the law will do little to nothing in these matters. Robin: unfortunately you have done all you can. some people just won't listen. keep your eye on the dog if you are close enough. if it is being neglected use the humane society to have the dog removed and let them know you are the breeder and that you will take back the dog and care for it. but if the dog is in good health and taken care of physically all you can do is cross your fingers that the dog never cayses a problem due to not being socialized.

Robin, If you don't mind telling, what is it the puppy owner is or isn't doing?

Robin! Apparently you have sold your pup to idiots! AND_after your pup has been sold it becomes property of said buyer, which means even if you wanted puppy back you would have to fight for him, why not fight in his behalf BEFORE he goes to his new home, and don't let the idiots convince you they can turn this cute fluffy innocent puppy into a great GSD by spoiling it to death and ruining it! With enough said, please do better screening, Have you ever owned a GSD in the past? What are your plans for MY PUPPY after he or she goes home with you? Do you have a fenced in yard? Will the puppy be home by itself for more than 6 hours? Do you have other pets at home? Do you have children? How old are your children? Do you have a cat? And Robin, I have sold pups to idiots before, and even the best screening can maybe sometimes not be enough to see flaws in the prospective owners, you just have to try your best to screen people, and when it comes right down to it, You tried your best,

I work with her and I see the puppy all the time it is just the dog is so unruley for me. It buck and turns in circles when on a leash and I know it make the owner upset but it's like they think that it will grow out of it. I say get ahold of the problem now and make her mind bring her out more often let her run some of that engery off, do something. Other then that she is well taken care of, I can't complain there but her manners are awful.

Give them a book on training for the new year. I've seen people who you couldnt tell to stay out of the rain. But if they read it they think it was they're idea and that seems to make a differnce.

How old is the puppy now? Does the owner feel that the puppy's behavior is unacceptable? If you want have the women email me so that she can hear from someone else. I'm a trainer and also have my own GSD. By email is billthedogguy@yahoo.com. Good luck.
