Before you get your pup, join a couple Griff Facebook groups. Griffology is a good one, and there is a ton of good information on there from dedicated Griff parents. For example, potty training can be especially difficult for Griffs compared to other breeds, and they LOVE to eat socks! Also, you may already know this, but don't cut their hair!
Griff Nation is another good one.
In my experience, you basically can't discipline a griff, really at all. It hurts there feelings.
Agree with this.
The bell works, we did that too. Good tip!
I think it would be the same thing.
The UPS guy for us too. The sound of that brown vehicle and ours thinks her longest lost friend is coming back to see her and play. Goes completey nuts. I don't get it.I think it would be the same thing.
Work on a command "focus" or something.
Only reward if they are paying attention.
Lol but yeah its a whole thing.
And the ups guy
Our guy gives them treats.
Yes it is those treats they have. Has to be, not sure what kinda ingredients they put in those treats but dang its something else.
Oscar has terrible separation anxiety. I can’t go outside without him whining, pacing, and raising hell. He won’t stop unless I actually leave, and then he still whines until I get home.
Mines not to bad about that.
get some mushers secret stuff for their feet. wax based product that help shed the snow off their feet. biggest issue weve had to deal with as far as snow/fur. great looking pup too btw
Thanks.
I've had good luck with a steel rake that tapers from coarse to fine teeth. If you comb down "with the grain" on brisket and legs, the snow/ice balls come off prett easily.
I spoke to Dave when I was looking a year and a half ago. Good guy. We had a good conversation. I actually had a deposit with him if my first choice didn't have enough in the litter.
Potty training was rough. It just takes time. Dog doors help. But it still takes time.Before you get your pup, join a couple Griff Facebook groups.

It's just learning. They get distracted by the tweets bird. They eventually figure out that's not what you're after. My dog still wants to chase some. He'll be 2 in February. He chases for a few seconds and then he starts hunting again.
My Oscar was hesitant to go in water to say the least. Once he learned its the only efficient way to cool his hot blooded butt off he launched in full bore.
