So you agree with the can full of pennies? |
If she is throwing up that not drama that anxiety....and it fear.... of dogs.
Humans she just just wants to have fun... which is great but not great if she sailing over gates....
No...I do not use interuptors the penny in can trick as it can scare some dogs ... you stop the action of barking and if you do not put in what you do want to happen you have a dog that will fill the hole with another bad action.
Can is not going to stop her sailing over that gate.
I rather try to catch them doing ans being good and reinforce that.
I think Terry Ryan has a great set up for reworking bad door greating behaviour... right now I am at work and do not have that book handy to check it and my memery is fogy from over work and lack of sleep.
I know the book is called culture clash and is avalible at dog wise.
I be more inclined to work her relax skills... teacher to sit on greatings also work on the nothing in life is free protocal so that she isnot taking things in to her own paws. I wonder to if the protocal for relaxation would also not be a good idea... if you want both let me know I have to be home to pull them off my computor.
I have my trained to bark or grr and I say thank you for telling me and shh now.
