***Speaking of training, since the elevation to "orange alert" I've been looking for "attack dog" training for my Cairn Terrier. Any help?***

Yes, the local Lunatic house ought to be able to "help" with that!

Or, perhaps, I could lend you my magic "Honey I blew up the kid" ray gun.

hehehehe!

Serious, though, it has been my experience that Cairn Terriers are pretty viscious to begin with. They move so fast it is hard to hit them with my pistol and they do an excellent job of making your ankles bloody. Thus, they make excellent home security systems.

I remember that during WWII we Americans tried to turn Labs into "attack dogs" with little success. The breed was more disposed to lick your face than it was to take you down. Though, my female was the alpha of the litter and she is very possessive of her house and her truck. She has never bit anyone, but the growl is a serious sounding threat which I have not scolded. Instead, I'm training her to listen to my commands to cease and be a friendly dog with a tail like a whip.
