Setters are unique. I had never had dogs like them, and I love every minute of it! My girls sleep in my bed, go everywhere with me. I never used any alpha training with them, and they still know I'm alpha and obey my commands better than most "very well trained" dogs I know! My method of raising order out of chaos works perfectly (to great despair of some of my friends) They get lots of love and atention, we play a lot and do an endless list of things together, and they know exaclty were the…
Setters are unique. I had never had dogs like them, and I love every minute of it! My girls sleep in my bed, go everywhere with me. I never used any alpha training with them, and they still know I'm alpha and obey my commands better than most "very well trained" dogs I know! My method of raising order out of chaos works perfectly (to great despair of some of my friends) They get lots of love and atention, we play a lot and do an endless list of things together, and they know exaclty were the line is. There is never the tiniest bit of toenail trying to cross it EVER! They do what they are asked when they are asked, I have never had meaningfull conflicts between them or other dogs, and even the little things were solved quickly and without a fuss with just a word. I have other dogs that require more assertive methods of training, but I never went to the "extreme" of the alpha methods.<br />
I the end, I think Setters are just amazing, and perfect the way they are... And they know it :) I love my girls the way they are, and I'm sure they love living they way we do. That's more than enough for me :) Lots of normal love,lots of m…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2010-10-06:865021:Comment:3962522010-10-06T09:54:32.107ZVojna Medvedechttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/VojnaMedvedec
Lots of normal love,lots of mutul confidence and calm approach always made my dogs a joy to live with,but they must know who is who,as I know who is who among them!<br />
As the well brought children must respect the older people my younger ones do respect the older ones-<br />
When I call all of them in their park:Where are my babies!? they are running all together leaving all other human and doggy friends!<br />

I never say come to mummy as I am not their mummy but they know I love them to bits,I protect them in everyday life,simply to say I stay behind their backs in all situations that the life brings and they understand and appreciate it!<br />
Living all day long together,but no bedroom as we all have to rest properly during the night.<br />
During so many years with these special dogs the irish are,we had never had any problems with any kind of agression or misbehaviour.<br />
They as the breed what we all know are not agressive,but again as by human beings not selfconfident there can be found some cases by the irish as well.Whose guilty is this???

Hi everyone, yes i also have a totally spoilt Irish friend called Mia and yes she goes wherever she like to sleep. When i got her i said to my husband and kids that she was not going to be allowed on my sofas and chairs or access to our bedrooms, what do you think has happened, yes you guessed all rules went out the window. But she is worth it.<br></br>

I can pick up her toys and she watches me do it, then once i have finished i see a red phantom creep out to her toy box and bring them one by one back in to the lounge. It is quite funny really.<br/>
Oh yes, she also has a bed of her own but insists on going to bed with my son and falls asleep on a chair in his bedroom.<br/>

Lovely discussion, Sounds like we all agree why we have our setters, they are our best friend always there when we need a hug or a laugh to make our day better.

My IS Reuben knows who the "pack leader" is, but he is on a mission to change things, constantly pushing the boundaries and being cheekier than any child possibly could be. Thing is, he gives himself away when about to do anything "naughty", by sneakily staring at you, making sure you are not watching him, then he creeps off to do whatever it is he's decided on doing (usually hiding tea spoons in his bed.... don't ask). Not so subtle.<br />

He also has a bad habit of wanting to sleep wherever our Border Terrier sleeps - found him the other day crammed into poor Buddy's tiny basket, legs spilling out everywhere, with Buddy desperately trying to escape from under him! However, I am in no doubt that Reuben knows who's boss - a certain look or tone of voice, and he's putty.

Finn, you have a red and white, that comes down from some of my dogs (VBG) You should see my house at the moment after a month of nearly continous rain, and a sea of mud outside. I'm seriously thinking of painting my hall dark brown<br />
Chair covers and dog bedding have to be washed every day,<br />
And when the dogs dont get anough exercise because of the rain and mud, they turn to activities like emptying the trash can and spreading the contents around the house. A good supply of bones to keep them…
