How can I train our German Shepherd Dog and Old English Sheep Dog to quit running our fence line?
Q. We have a German Shepherd and an old English Sheep Dog that get overly excited when things (primarily other dogs) come close to the fence line. The GSD is 14 months and the OES is 16 months. How can we train them not to bark crazily and run the line like heathens when other dogs come around? We are first time dog owners.

A. Are they really fighting or is the older dog just putting the puppy in its place? If it is true fighting one of them would receive some serious wounds. It's more likely that the older dog is teaching the puppy what behavior it will accepted and what behavior it won't put up with. If this is the case it is best left for the dogs to settle among themselves. There is a pecking order that must strickly left up to them. I have 2 9 yr. old dogs and a German Sheppard Pup about 15 months old and the two older dogs will put up with some of the puppy play but when she gets too rough they will take her down.

A. The company that makes this product, "Reckitt Benckiser" has it's orgins in England, going back to 1814. A series of mergers, joint ventures and partnerships got them involved in household cleaning supplies, including a merger with the Mason Brothers to form the "Chiswick Polish Company" in 1913. In 1990, they aquired "Boyle-Midway", an American company that produced Woolite, Easy-Off, Sani-Flush, Wizard and Old English brands. The "Old English" line of products was invented by Mr. Lee Expert between 1964 and 1978 when he worked for Boyle-Midway (also knows as American Home Products) So...about the oldest it could be is about 40 years old. I know it looks older!

What brush,s are best used on an old english sheep dog?
Q. my old english sheep dog is a year old now, but am having trouble keeping his fur from getting matted, does anyone have any ideas on what brush to use and where to get one from ?
Asked by north wales chap - Tue Oct 2 09:00:02 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Horrified by some of the answers you have received - obviously from people who have no idea of the breed! Here's a helpful site: My friend who used to breed/show OES always used a "human" hair brush, Mason- Pearson which is natural bristle not synthetic & so doesn't split the hair. To keep him knot -free, you really need a comb to tease out the small knots before they start getting too big to do anything with. At 1 year he is at his worst for grooming because his adult coat is coming through but he still has his puppy coat too. It will get better - in a year or so!

A. It sounds like you are doing the right things. I would expect a young puppy to pee if not constantly watched -- unfortunately! I think you'll just have to keep the pup in her crate unless you are constantly watching her. The more times you catch her before she pees, or catch her in the act and quickly bring her outside, the more reliable she will become. Since you say she won't pee in the crate, this will be your greatest tool. Short periods in the crate followed by walks outside should do the trick. Since she is four months and you said you've had her for a month, do you know anything about her life before coming to you? Was she paper trained? Did they try to housetrain her at all?

A. The first poster made the mistake of assuming the Early Modern English is Old English. For true Old English words (good luck writing a whole book in that, it's like learning a foreign language, you'd have an easier time learning Dutch), go to this link.

A. I think the answer is simple - through usage (which tends to 'laziness', as evidenced by much of the English typed here). By the way, it should be 'Why has Old English lost the inflections?' (You are obviously not English, so I point it out to help you learn! English has a very difficult word order when it comes to auxilliary verbs and past tenses!)
