HE IS STILL A PUPPY!!! HE LOVES PEOPLE!!! I find myself saying....

Hello everybody.  Spazz is coming up on 6 mo on the 6 of July.  I will definitly post some more pictures here soon. 

My lil baby is growing up so fast.  When I look at Spazz I still see a little innocent puppy.  He really doesnt look big to me at all.  Maybe because he is mine, and I LOVE HEEEE.    Im in Germany, and most restaurants allow dogs.  It is very comman to see a dog laying next to his owners chair in a nice restaurant. 

Spazz is still in his puppy-I love people-phase.  So he wants to run and see and talk and get touched by all Everybody and everything that moves.  When spazz was small everybody wanted to touch him and see the little puppy.  Now he has put on a couple of pounds and a few inches and people are actually afraid of my Little Puppy.

Where I see a little harmless puppy people see a big scary dog.  Am I the only one?  Is my perception all messed up, or does this just come with being owned by a Big Paw.  ;-)

Also Spazz is almost 6 months, should i be able to have his full attention when there are distractions like people and or dogs around or is it still to early. 

Sounds like Spazz is behaving just like a 6 month old puppy should! There are probably some good techniques you could use to teach him to sit by you and be less distracted, though. As far as people, though, they will always run screaming from your sweet puppy because they are clueless dorks. I may have posted this anecdote on here already, but here ya go: I recently was visited by a friend that I had'nt seen in years. She came to my house, and was greeted by Tani (aussie/boxer in my avatar) who came flying down the stairs to say hello. Tani doesn't even jump on people, but this girl, as soon as she saw my well behaved pup, screamed "OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A PIT BULL!!" and jumped back out my front door onto the porch! I put my dogs in my bedroom so she could come in, but I regretted it the whole time she was there, and I wish I hadn't done that. My dogs, my house. She should have just stayed on the porch and gotten over herself!

I have had the same issues with my IW pup Morgayne. She is a baby, but as tall as a lab. I actually had someone ask me if she was an old dog. LMAO I guess because she is grey? Who knows. Anyway it seems like kids see she is a pup, and want to come pet (when we are at a park etc.) but parents look at her like she is going to eat them. So I say she is just a baby, 5 months old you can pet her if you want. Once they pet her then they have all sorts of questions and love her.

Hmmm.. I have to try that with Sierra...  I swear my poor pup has ADD...

I loved it at our old house when sales men came to the door...I would get my 2 Danes all excited with "who's here? who is it" then when the doorbell rang all heck would brek loose (bark bark woof woof). Then when I opened the door a very shocked person would be standing there...Once an older man looked at me and said "never mind...you don't need it" and walked away. LOL he was selling home security...hah aha

BSL group???  Is there an Acronyms List or something. Im still pretty new.

The watch me command sounds like a good idea.  I need to try that.  Spazz is actually a good boy (most of the time)  his training is comming along good.  Lil man (my fert) fert=Ferret, and Spazz get along pretty well.  Spazz Loves to play with Lil-man.  Lil man likes it to for the most part.  Spazz gets excited and forgets that he weighs a couple pounds more than lil man does, Actually lil man forgets that he too weighs a little less than Spazz does.
Spazz loves to chase and pounce on lil man.  He also likes to take lil man in his mouth and toss him.  Its hallarious to watch but scary because i worry that lil man will get hurt.  But lil man always runs right back and jumps at Spazz.  Sometimes Spazz will whine when lil man gets a hold of him and sometimes lil man gets a little to much paw on him.  So I watch them very close but they enjoy their little time they get together.  Been trying to get Spazz to sit-stay and or down-stay while lil man runs around.  Out of a good 150 tries he's managed twice.  . He is improving

It's their loss.  They don't know what they're missing.

I REALLY need to check the dates on posts before I try to be helpful. 
DUH!    !!!
