Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

My solution for new, badly behaved dogs (granted, that experience is limited and so far, my 1 and part-time 2nd are really not that badly behaved) is to keep them contained - that means tethering to a person when "loose", crating in the house or tethering outside when not tethered to a human. Then decide on the one behavior that is most troublesome and address that intensively.

For me, with both Archer and Ami, it was the 1000 mph plow-into-me-like-I-was-a-husky thing.

With Chloe, it sounds like her play is too rough with the other dogs? I guess what I would do, is let her play with Flex until he says "enough" and then back to tether. While on tether, I would allow a bit of interraction with the little dogs, when Chloe starts to get rough, I would say, gentle, simultaenously with stepping back a bit (not jerking her, just a step or two) and petting her at the same time. Really sounds like Chloe just needs training and socialization - maybe an obedience class? I would work towards calming her, keep my voice low, play low stimulation, not getting her super excited.

As for keeping your sanity and not killing your fiance? Smile to yourself and keep telling yourself what a wonderful, compassionate, kind-hearted individual you chose - the knight in shining armor who will be savior to those in need...

And long walks/runs by yourself to blow off steam.

Or, as DIL does with my younger son..."OUT...OOOUUUTTTTT!!!" with a loud voice, a pointed finger and planted feet. Which is why Josh so frequently shows up here unannounced lol!
