Great Pyrenees needs a home FAST!

Another vote for don't drop him off in the country. From the sounds of it, you're just making someone else stay up so they can shoot him after doing more damage to someone else's property.

Most dogs look to the alpha male of the pack to know their place. I have seen energetic dogs by nature perfectly happy parked in a chair or on a couch as long as they are physically touching their master. A dog without a master or a weak master might try to become the master or alpha of the pack.

baboon,

Actually, if you "fully buy into" the prevailing "pack theory" (I at least HALF-way do.), the "CENTER" of each pack is the Alpha Female, i.e., the mate of the Alpha Male, as ALL of the other members of the pack will KOW-TOW to & feed/groom/protect her & her "young" with their very lives.

Presuming that the Alpha Female "knows animals" & their behavior, she CAN control/handle the family dog(s) IF there is an Alpha Male in the home (at least some of the time).

When I was married to my late wife, I had a PAIR of spayed "Protection-Trained Dobermans", that even went to work with me at the PMO.
When I was out of town/on TDY, I was sometime asked, "Aren't you afraid that 'the girls' might hurt your wife? - I've seen them with you at a crime scene."
I always said, "NO. But I wouldn't suggest that you try to put your hands on her or on my 5YO niece.", as "my girls" see Vickie as their Alpha Female & "the little princess" as Vickie's child. - IF they persisted in questioning me, I also would say, "The real problem is that Vickie or 'the princess' couldn't pull the girls off of a person IF they decided that either one were in danger."

yours, satx

To be honest with you, your first post I looked to see where you are located. I'd love to be able to take that dog, but that's not a reality. I will suggest a breed specific rescue a viable choice.

Dogs are no different than people. Sometimes the only answer is lead to the head.

Edit: He's your responsibility. It's f#$%ing tough, but sometimes you gotta see them to the other side.

I’m gonna try locking him in a kennel at night - defeats his purpose but won’t destroy my car.
I may try parking outside the invisible fence, even though it’s my damn parking spot. It seems like there’s something in the car that has the interest of all the dogs, but the GP is the only one climbing on the hood. I haven’t found any animals, snakes, mice, etc. under the hood - who knows?

As much as I want him gone or shot, I’ll probably just beat him for another year or two and he’ll be okay - like Labs.

Odd... your not the only case I've heard of the GP breed doing these kinda of shenanigans. Odd they wanna get on automobiles. I just saw one last week on a sweet 280z. I thought as I drove by "what a sweet 280z, what the hell is that dog doing standing on it." Goat like.....

Has killed every chicken we own and two of the neighbors' dogs that got into our yard...

Came out to this this morning:

Something must have gotten onto my car during the night. It took everything I had this morning to keep a bullet out of his head.

$85 surrender fee at City of Waco, $.60 for a 125gr 300AAC, or a couple bucks for gas to drop him off in the country.

He's running out of time and I'm running out of patience, chickens and cars.

Completely house trained, crate trained, neutered, great with children and larger dogs.

Terrible with small dogs, chickens and clear coat.

I hate those dogs.

Don't forget to mention they sleep all day long and BARK constantly from dark to dawn.

 

[hellishhorses]

I hate those dogs, my neighbor has two and it sounds like the one across to the south has one to.

That’s their MO, up all night, sleep all day. That’s what makes training difficult, they’re only assholes in the the middle of the night. They’re perfect little angels during normal hours.

They are very goat-like.

 

[Whistler]

Raised, trained, rescued and showed Rottweilers for quite a few years. Its a lot of work and commitment.

Dogs don't think like humans. That may sound like an obvious statement but watch people with their dogs and notice how they ascribe human motivations to their behavior.

I highly recommend reading some of the works of the Monks of New Skete, particularly 'How to be your dog's best friend' for a little more insight into pack behavior.

When you understand why they do what they do its easier to put yourself in a frame of mind to address the behavior instead of react to your feelings.

Your posts about dumping them, shooting them or beating them don't do much for your public opinion here. Take it to the pound or rescue or breed rescue. You do need to be free of this dog, but do it in a way that benefits you and the dog instead of the cruel ideas you have espoused so far.

hellish horse,

Pardon me for CHUCKLING. - Offhand, I can think of NO animal, human or otherwise, that's much of a problem when they are sound asleep.
(Unless they snore loudly enough to keep others awake, as my late Uncle Wayne sometimes did.)

All of our dogs have been raised/trained on the Monks of New Skete principals.
I also recommend their book, The Art of Raising a Puppy.

Probably trying to get on high ground to better keep an eye out for threats to the flock.

Have you tried any of the rescues?

So do you beat your women & are you a dead beat dad? I'll bet you give gun owners & hunters a bad name too.

Male dogs can be a real pain in the ass to raise too. How old is he?

 

[Brains]

I think the dog is just questioning your choice in automobiles.

Little over 2 years old

Fortunately for him, this is my daily beater car with 160k on it. Had this been my truck, I probably wouldn't have controlled my anger so well. Something got under the car but the other two dogs didn't react quite so hastily.
