Re:OTTAWA DOG SOCIAL Posted: 4 Months ago Karma: 12  
ok - now that we've ruled out a whole bunch of issues, we just have to help turn her into a little social butterfly!

She's the girl-dog who just hangs out watching the other dogs dance. We'll have to send in the troops to bring her out of her shell !

I think meeting on neutral ground is good for her. She is a very Alpha personality. She does this little huff thing through her nose when she doesn't get her way..it so reminds me of my daughter at times!! She also is very smart and needs a lot more interaction then my other dog.
Anyway, I wont give up on her...

Re:OTTAWA DOG SOCIAL Posted: 4 Months ago Karma: 4  
Definately on board with that!
I dunno 'bout the alpha personality though. Husky/Border Collie? Ya, boredom for sure. Cocoa needs a job!
As far as the health issue goes, I don't want to say it but...I was thinking brain tumor. However, since you mentioned the imbreeding, that could very well be the cause for unusual behavior.
(I have just erased paragraph after paragraph. Too much info for post. Wendy, perhaps I can come over sometime and we can work on a solution for Cocoa.)

You people don\'t know how lucky you are to have each other close by to help each other.
I\'m so jealous.

Wendy,

You could teach Cocoa to "find" stuff, give her a job ... I could show you how I did it with Abby with the Search and Rescue ... it's quite easy, and it's very very stimulating both mentally and physically for them

Michelle,

I typed up the instructions in here at one point, I can't look for it now b/c I'm at work ... LOL

But if someone else can find it and post the link before I do ... feel free ... (By the time I get around to it, it won't be until later tonight or even tomorrow!)

I'll check then, if it's not up here, then I'll type it all out again ...

Marion
