[QUOTE="Star*, post: 427264, member: 4964"] The problem is going to be ------(and I say this with the utmost concern for Tesla) She is NOT a typical dog. If she is a Dingo - or a primative? Regular training is NOT going to work with her. She will be more of a challenge than any domestic dog. As far as the spray bottle? OMG - HUGE no, and newspaper is an even HUGER NO NO. The coke can with rocks? Not a huge fan of that unless you want gun-shy dogs. (noises only distract temporarily) This breed isn't going to be rattled by much. Talk to the Dingo lady. I'm sure you are going to get an ear full. There is also a behavior specialist that took in a Dingo and one that took in the worlds oldest breed (from PNG) and was doing her best to live and raise it. I just saw a special about that on television not too long ago - it may be History Chanel or Animal Planet - Look up wild dogs of Papua New Guinea - they are their OWN breed of dog. Not even related to Dingos they are so old. This woman took one and tried to raise it and she's been an animal trainer and behavior specialist for eons. She said people who have not had dogs/trained them/ etc should never keep primative breeds - and went on to talk about why. Their mind sets, how they think - it was absolutely fascinating. You should really try to find that show - it was incredible to me that anyone would take in these PNG dogs - only 15 exist in the US because they are so difficult to care for. They did talk a little about Dingos etc - but I think your shelter had no way of knowing what they had. I hope you get good advice from the Carolina Dog lady here. She's renound in her field, and I'm hoping she can direct you how to help Tesla. [/QUOTE]
