As much as I'd love to say I have the best dog in the world, truth is.. I don't. Haha.
Koda (my year old **** hound, heeler, collie, pointer mix) is submissive around other dogs, which I really don't mind. Makes meeting some dogs a little easier, no aggression in first meeting.
She is VERY stubborn, with a ton of attitude. Sometimes (not as often as before) when you call her she'll just kind of lay there and look at you like "you've got to be kidding right?"
When she gets to chasing another animal it's very hard to break her focus, and she doesn't like to retrieve her toys. She has no problem doing it inside. But when we are outside, she'll bring them 10-20 feet away from us and then lay there. Expecting us to go get them from her... That's not how fetch is supposed to work.
BUT HER BIG PROBLEM IS... If we are outside, and there are toys (fribees, bones, balls) she becomes super possessive and even aggressive. She's been in a fight or two at the field over her frisbess. Its mostly with dogs she doesn't know. But... WHAT CAN I DO TO BREAK HER OF IT?? ANY TRICKS?! I'm to the point where I won't let her play if other dogs are around, and she really enjoys playing with other dogs... as long as they don't get ahold of her toys.
