View attachment 58764This is a very funny picture to share. Gretchen is spoiled and she loves nap time. when the kids lay down for a nap she has to have her own nap mat and pillow and sometimes blanket.

This made me burst out laughing...bullies are such divas!

Thank you & GOD bless you for adopting her and hanging in there
so long, I am filled with respect, admiration & pride as I know how
much it takes to do so. She looks wonderful...great job!

What an amazing job you have been doing with her, she is beautiful, yes just love the photo of her napping, she is so lucky you found her, what a terrible life she must have had beforehand, no wonder she is so unsure how to act. I hope for future progress.

Been a while since I have been in. Hopefully someone remembers me and my problems with my rescue Gretchen. We were finally able to come up with money for a training session. It didn't take long to get her going on the right track. She suggested a training collar and our $30 investment has been the best investment ever. She only had to use the sound/vibration setting. She still won't leave cat alone. That's my next step. That may never resolve. Seems its her natural instinct not to like the cat. We still have house accidents. Training a puppy is easy but a 3 year old dog isn't so easy. I think alot is spite. She doesn't bite me any longer when I take stuff. Her aggression is 99% gone. She doesn't chase the kids on bikes or bite when when swinging. She comes when called and leaves stuff most time when asked once. She hides under table still but I can get her out if I am calm. Huge improvement in a month. I'm sure I will be posting in here again. Still have so many bull dog questions. Thanks for all help thus far. She actually has gained a healthy weigh and looks good. She's healthy but keeps getting UTI. We had some very strong medicine and got rid of it but it comes back. She still likes to eat everything she sees which scares me. Is this normal? I try to keep stuff up just as I would with a child but she always finds something .

What kind of training collar? Shock?

Yes it's shock - very light but I don't have to use that. I just use the noise vibration

Gretchen sure is beautiful I absolutely LOVE the pic of her on her mat with her own blanket. Sheldon claimed one of my son's old comforters and won't give it up I have to wait till he is outside to wash it because otherwise it ends up a tug of war with him.
