RE: Rabbits

Not Zem, but if you get the National Geographic channel, check out a
program called 'The Dog Whisperer' with Cesar Millan.  It will surely
give you some hints.  This man is so amazingly in tune with canines -
must have been a dog in another life.

Hi Zem,

   Did you have any problems with your dog's aggressiveness?  Romeo very
   much wants to be the pack leader in my house, so we've had quite a
few
   battles of wills so far.  I don't want to break his spirit, but he 
   obviously needs to listen and be respectful of things in the house.

   I've read that chows are very intelligent (which I see in Romeo) and
   very set in their ways.  They'll tolerate people as long as they can
   do what they want.  Romeo sometimes acts that way too, but I
   hope it's just because he's still in a period of adjustment.

   On the other hand, this is my first time caring for a dog and I
really
   have no clue what I'm doing.  So we're both learning as we go along.
:)

   I do have him trained well enough now to ignore any creature when 
   we go for walks, but he loves to chase squirrels through the yard
   whenever he can.  Since there's a big old oak tree out back I'm sure
   he'll have a blast when the acorns start maturing!
