My Shar Pei licks me excessively to soften my skin up before it chews off parts of my legs. JK. Wont deny that Ive thought that was the case once upon a time.
This video is a few years old at this point, but I adopted a 5 year old shar pei/husky mix a couple of years ago (she's now 7 years old). She liks to be in the same room as me but is quite independent. While most days, she only spends a few hours by herself (my sister and I have alternating work schedules), she is perfectly fine if she spends a long afternoon by herself. I just need to make sure she's had a good amount of exercise, around 2 hours thanks to her husky half. She's crate trained, but is honestly just fine chilling out on the couch, on her front room bed, on my bed, or in her open crate. This is just her and I did luck out in adopting a dog with very good house manners already.
Peis are smart when it suits them. I trained mine to understand a hand signal for going on a walk. Only took one time for him to realize what it meant, likely because it is his favorite activity.
I adopted an adult Shar pei. She is not a horrible puller but she can be leash aggressive. She is stubborn and not treat motivated. When something has her attention she won't be distracted with treats.
I have a Shar pei German Shepherd cross breed. Got her from a rescue when she was 1yr old. She is a sweet dog and so well behaved indoors but she is also super stubborn, strong willed and resists training. She has been the hardest dog to train that I've ever owned. At first I thought she might be a bit daft, lol, but I've come to learn that she just doesn't like being told what to do. When I first got her at 1yr of age she loved every dog she met and was wary of humans. I took her around lots of people and other dogs and considered her well socialized. Nonetheless around the age of 2yrs she started showing aggression while on leash. Mainly at other dogs but sometimes at strange humans too. I have hired a professional trainer and we are working on getting her to ignore strangers and dogs while walking on leash but it's been an uphill battle. She knows all the basic commands like sit, stay, come, lie down but chooses when she will obey. She is not food motivated. Oh she likes to eat but when she has her mind set on something she will not be distracted with treats. This also makes training difficult because she will even ignore steak and chicken when something else has her attention. I love her to bits and wouldn't trade her for the world. However I would not choose this breed again.
Hello Caine lovers ! I have a question ? Maybe your team may reply 😊 We have saved an sharpei... See is absolutely beautiful ❤ She was tormented, neglected,beaten... She has entropion which was left unattended ! She only ever went to the Vets Once whole life 😢 she is getting the love and attention she needs how ever i have a question please ? If i say here name come back its thought about but im worried some what,,maybe i shouldn't be, yet if i say wheres her name she will immediately respond and attempt to get attention immediately ? Now i understand this may sound silly yet, is this part truma related ?
I'm definitely interested to do this ,Ours is a Shar pei X staffy .She used to love other dogs and people until she got to 1 year old.She pulls at other dogs and humans now.She gets 30 minutes plus a day and play at home.She is not interested in treats while on a walk atall.
I have a Shar pei German Shepherd mix. She was well socialized and loved every dog she saw until she reached the age of 2yrs. Then she suddenly started leash aggressive which shocked me. She is also not treat motivated. I make sure she gets at least 2hours a day of exercise. Usually an hour of off leash running and playing and then two 30 minute leash walks, sometimes more so it's not a lack of exercise. She is good loyal well behaved dog indoors, couldn't ask for a better dog, but she gets a mind of her own outside and willfully chooses to ignore commands.
I have a rescue shar pei. She's only reactive on leash. Shows 0 interest in toys or food even high value treats. I have her walking a good loose leash until dogs start barking then she wants to run away taking me with her. Any tips to help?
That's my Shar pei to a tee. She's actually quite friendly and sociable with other dogs when she is free to run and play. The moment she is leashed she is whole new and scary dog. When something grabs her attention she cannot be distracted with treats. I'll offer her real chicken and she will literally just let it fall to the ground while she fixates on another dog. I'm working with a trainer now and he is teaching me to prevent the fixation before it starts. Sometimes I'm successful and sometimes not. It's an uphill battle for sure.
I’ve got 4 pei’s 2 girls 2 boys not for breeding just to love, my 1 year old boy is a big- boy and is starting to show aggression, so tomorrow is day one of training, misses just left me after 14 years we had these together 2 girls 2 boys one of the boys is just turned 1 and is a big boy and is trying to dominate everything as my heads not been in right place but could you please give me first step guidance on what I should do?
We are having training problems with our little black one nugget. Attacking our other dog which is a pit German shepherd mix. We love her very much she's not even old enough for first rabies shot. We are really struggling with this. If anyone could help we would gladly listen.
Sorry you are having trouble. I commented above about my German Shepherd Shar pei mix. Both of those breeds can be challenging but I believe it's the shar pei in my dog that makes her so stubborn and resistant to training. She never showed any aggression to other dogs until she was over 2yrs old. She had lots of socialization with dogs and people so I was shocked when she started showing this other side to her personality. My regret was that I waited too long to enlist the help of a trainer. I have a trainer now but undoing her bad behavior (mainly leash aggression, she's a sweetheart indoors) has been hard. I was trying to deal with the problem myself and getting nowhere. If your puppy is already showing aggression I would recommend that you seek professional help sooner rather than later.
I had 4 dogs, one of them is a sharpei, she always come, lick my hands for like a minute, then walk away for like 30 seconds and come back to do the same like 3 or 4 times, is the only one who do it, pretty funny 😂
I have been watching all your vids about high level canine leadership. I've noticed you rely heavily on a sliplead fir corrections. Unfortunately my 19 week old shar pei has brushed his throat from pulling on his lead ( standard not slip) and struggles with the slip lead because of his folds he can shake it into the wrong position lower down his neck which would cause more issue. What can I do for correction whilst I wait for him to heal. (I'm going to have to get him a harness for now also)
Me and my wife got a shar pei cross bull dog at 4 year old she’d had 4 homes we’ve had her 8 years and she’s never got outta the fixation with other dogs she tolerates a few dogs but the majority she can’t be off lead we’ve been to behaviourists but she’s not improved tbh. When she’s home tho she’s very nervous and not very confident in herself.
Dude I've always told people my dog doesn't like belly pets.. she just thinks people really like to rub dogs bellies so she lets you do it because she gets a good response.
What?! I’ve had 6 Shar peis in my life time and have never had a problem with barking! 🤷🏻♀️ ear problems sure but barking??? They were all kinda silent until warranted and pretty lazy…WTH? UK Shar peis more talkative and needy?? 🤷🏻♀️
Shar Pei is an absolute handful but a type of bond you can't get with any other kind of dog. They are like wise ancient beings and they never fully submit. They are more like partners then owned property. You have to respect their stubbornness and accept it is their personality.
I have a shar pei cross cane corsa and he is the most loving and protective dog we’ve had, brilliant guard dog yet so gentle with my daughter if we go out on walks and my daughter pops into the park he won’t take his eyes of her and the strangest thing is he loves to go on the trampoline with her in the garden not unattended obviously but they are the best of friends.
I need help with my shat pei I have tried everything. He literally pulls like crazy with even lizards. I can't take him anywhere, but still force myself to take him everywhere to attempt to socialize him.
I adopted a rescue and he was well potty trained. Stays on the couch or his dog bed and very soft dog. Glued to my side when I'm in the room with him but very out of sight out of mind he's cool to ignore my absence after moments of whining. But I bond with him all day my days off we go hiking and hes my bro. Think he gets sick of me by the time I gotta go to work. He's a very introverted guy. His bark though. When he wants attention he doesn't have a volume other than "LOOK AT ME LOOK".
Give them the boundaries and good guide lines, because there will pick and choose what there going to do. Definitely stubborn, they will be the boss if you let so its a shared venture. So smart and loyal... Just an adorable creation... God is good...
Yes exspend physical energy and then teach the BRAIN. Limit the commands and repetition . Time and patience and love is all you need. Along with a high protein diet.
My shar pei gently bites my hand to get my attention and then releases my hand and motions with her head when she wants to go out. Out of 4 us I am the only one she does this to. She licks my hand when she is out of water.
Thought we were getting a golden, got a dna test done, turns out she's a shar pei Irish setter mix, so she's twice the anxiety. Training at the vet has helped but at home it feels like she explodes when she sees *anything*. Thankfully for exercise it's a straight shot from one end of the house so there's definitely room for indoor exercise until I'm more comfortable taking her on walks any other time besides the wee hours of the morning..
Mine really doesn't lick me too much. She does seem to lick herself a lot. I don't know why or if it's from stress? I'm pretty new to her, she's 3. She's not full blooded, she has pit in her. She's just different... No aggression so far at all, seems to like everyone. I'm just iffy about that. I want aggression if I need it. She's tough to train, unfortunately we think she was abused. Yet she'll sit and lay down on command for the most part. I can't get mad at her if she does something wrong. If I do, she covers down. Which leads me towards the abuse. She'll play but it's by herself, she won't catch or fetch. I just don't understand? She can go hours and hourS without going to #1 or 2. Is this normal for these breeds? Are they tough to give a bath? Although I have never seen any aggression. I don't think I'd want to piss her off. She has some WICKED TEETH! I personally think it's Shar pei not Pitbull teeth. My sister even noticed.
I had my Shar pei for 14 years and the only part of fetch she would do is run after what ever was thrown, literally never brought it back tho. Think it’s a shar pet thing. The bath thing......Yeah that was always a challenge. Not once in 14 yrs was there an ‘easy bath time’. Not a fan of water. The best thing I did for her was socialise her as soon as I could, I’ve met other shar pies who are cautious around most other (unknown) dogs and people, however mine was friendly with every one and every thing (except German Shepard’s for some reason). I think this is because she was used to being around a lot of new people/animals from an early age. She also had a mean set of teeth. Angry AF looking front teeth and Scissors for back teeth. The best advice I can give for toilet time is this; set a regular, short but often walking pattern. As I understand SP are a typically clean breed that prefer not to make a mess in their own home (including the garden) if they know there’s 2/3 -30 minute walks a day they will also form a habits. Licking the paws: I cannot stress this enough, it’s most likely a fungal infection GET ON TOP OF IT ASAP. Mine started licking her paws really badly at about age 6. And by age 7 she had demodectic mange which she would get in the neck, chest, groin, paws, legs and ears. Which led her to scratch till she bled and all her fur would fall out. Raw coconut oil was the best thing I found to help with the skin. Rub it on the affected areas it’s anti microbial and helps with the swelling. It’s better than any chemical medicines the vets will offer and it’s cheaper too. Watch out for twisted stomach, another reason it’s good to have a regular and regimented walking time. Helps release of pressure before problems arise. Mine had a twisted stomach at age 12 and it was f****** horrible, she did pull through but was never the same after, it really took its toll. Hopefully the pitty cross in yours will dull some of the negative health aspects known to pure bred shar pei. Hope you have a great life with your dog 👊
