I wonder is there a correlation between smaller women and bigger
dogs? I am 5'-3" as well (although I will often try to stretch it to
5'-4") and have had Pyrs, Labs and Great Danes. I refuse to have a dog who
shorter than at least my knees. I apologize to all the little dog lovers
out there, but I am not one.
Charlie loves to run full speed across the yard at me, but 95% of the time
he veers around me. I feel the breeze but do not get hit. He will
still jump up on me when invited. This miracle occurred when we started
some extra training during his most recent "adolescent testing period" - he is
just 16 months old. He is a beautiful sight running across the yard
with his fur flying -- as long as he veers at the last minute -- so I praise him
a lot when this is successful.

LOL Sure can tell she's coming, it's just like
standing in the path of a freight train!! I have a wonderful picture
of her coming at me full blast through the snow.
Your advice makes a lot of sense and
we'll work on it. I am hesitant to turn my back when she's running at
me because she throws a good shoulder block into my knees once in
awhile. I'll brace myself and hang onto a fence post or a tree or
something. :) I really want her to quit knocking me down. I'm to
old to get knocked around so much. If I break a hip she'll have
to pull me around in a cart so I can get the gardening
done. :)
Thanks for your
help.
