I bought my last car from a nice man named Tennessee Rock Adams. It even had a picture of him stuck to the passenger visor.

The car has gone on in its epic lifecycle to belong to "Private" Mike Albano. Great things await.

Therefore, I endorse naming the dog Tennessee.

Update:

We picked up the new pup yesterday. She is a really sweet dog and is settling in very well.

I compiled all the names from the list, printed it out and read them to Mrs Mang. Although she didn't want to use any of the names, at times, she laughed so much that tears streamed from her face.

The adoption company named the dog 'Ellie' which I liked and seemed to suit her. The decision was finalized by Step Mang #3 who said that there was a Donkey Kong character called Ellie.

So yes, I let a total stranger name the dog and used a video game to back up the decision.

I think "Towser" originates from the Japanese Mastiff, or "Tosa" breed.

And all proper champion working Collies are called either "Fly" (pronounced "Floy"), or "Gyp".

Nobody names their dog Fido anymore, and that's kind of sad.

True. A friend of ours suggested Spot for the same reason.

They're still around, just hard to spot.



I always liked Spot as a dog name.

But then, the dog's gotta have a spot somewhere, otherwise it makes no sense.



But that might be kinda fun. Well, maybe at first when introducing the dog to someone.

Towser is an old English name and is related to the name Tozer. (I knew a kid with a last name of Tozer).

The word is related to the modern 'tease' as in 'teasing wool'. At the time it was felt that a dog's natural tendency to tear and pull things apart was not unlike teasing wool before it was spun thus, a dog was a 'towser'.

I always thought it was a fun name for a dog and then decided to find out where it came from. Ever since, I use the name 'Towser' as a generic term for any dog because it's ye olde & exotic.

I used to have a dog named Speckles.
Man I miss that little bastard. He was a Cocker Spaniel, fun as hell, loved mashed potatoes and made bizarre noises at the moon. Also used to get so excited to see someone, he would knock himself over.

This is the Doggie that I want.  Unfortunately they are illegal over here, in case they frighten old ladies. Or eat
unwanted visitors. Shame, because their temperament is gentle and very family friendly.  Good for hunting wild boar too.

I'd call him Tweeky, and feed him well, walk him twice a day, and teach him to pull drunks out of canals. (Before they drowned)

BadBeast wants the correct Dogo Argentino. Looks like they're not illegal over in the States. Maybe I can get one, eventually.

There are Dogo Owners clubs in the States. They hunt Boar and Raccoons with them.
I'd put a saddle on his back, and ride him around the park.

Sorry, but that is one fugly dog.

Also, I don't think we have breeds of dog that are actually illegal as such, but there are breeds (like pit bulls) that are widely not allowed in apartments and other rentals, and are more likely to be put down just because they are that breed if they come into a shelter.

It does, however, look sufficiently dog-like, which cannot be said about all types of dog.

I grew up around pit bulls. I was never bit or attacked, and none of the dogs ever did such a thing. They're wonderful with kids, actually, and are usually just big playful mooshballs.

Statistically speaking, most dog attacks are (apparently) carried out by Dachsunds.

Anyway, we kept the dog's original name (Ellie). Mrs Mang thoroughly enjoyed the suggestions. In fact, she was streaming tears of laughter when I was reading them to her one night after dinner.

One of our clients at work was a dog trainer for 15+ years. Her experience is that the vast % of bad dog behavior is caused by the owners. This the reason she quit being dog trainer because she got so sick of dealing with people. The dogs were always amenable to learning and being re-trained, most owners were not.

Then it'd be good to take away dog ownership rights from people who own violent dogs, and to retrain the dogs and put them up for adoption...

Certain breeds like Pitbulls have gotten a bad rap because they are rugged, muscular dog unlike say, the Shihtzu or Yorkshire terrier. This leads to douche bags thinking that owning a 'tough dog' will likewise, make them tough too.

These dogs are then not trained at all or trained using dumb methods and voila - neurotic & violent dogs are produced.

I've been learning about training dogs with positive reinforcement. Thus shouting, smacking, punishments, choke collars, prong collars & shock collars etc are all off limits.

This leaves you with rewarding the dog with things that it likes (attention, food, toys) when it is behaving well which includes when it's laying around doing nothing. When they do something you don't want them to do, you either ignore (remove attention from them) or distract & redirect followed by praise/treats the moments they adopt a more positive behavior.

This approach takes a good long time, lots of consistency and the patience of a Zen master. However, we've only had the dog about 3 weeks and she is responding very well to this type of approach. It means that Mrs Mang & I have had to train ourselves as much as the dog and that also includes training family members and people who visit the house.

Another great misconception I've discovered is that lots of people think that they are really 'great with dogs' and the obliviously violate the dog's boundaries and personal space. It's a wonder more people don't get bitten.

The toughest part for me is discovering that my late dog (Tia) had behaviors that I did not understand or know how to deal with positively. She loved people, hated other dogs and really hated being in the car. All of the negatives could've been moderated over time but I didn't have the information. So, I do still feel a bit guilty because her 'bad behaviors' (so called) were entirely our fault.

Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on July 06, 2010, 07:24:48 AM
A lot of dog owners are really put off by the dominance play that most dogs need for effective training, and also by the concept that many dogs need a job in order to feel happy and accomplished.
