Actually it works well we have a jumper and she licks not my brat will kill you dog but a tough girl anyway to change behaviour.
Everyone was telling her off and down and no and pushing her except me.
Now the family caught on very quick ( her family) that with me she lay down and I rewrd her with what she wanted which was lots and lots and lots of cuddles and pats. The owner started doing the same as soon as she saw her think or stop action just before she jumped up she praised the stuffing out of the wee girl... she drop to her tummy and wiggle like she just been given the moon. Now without a cue at all she drops infornt of yo uand waits for you to fawn on her.
Another dog big boy and with the tendecy to grab your hand and get a little aggressive. again everyone noing landing on the bad and never noticing he is just confused.
I turn my back on him or I hold my hands so he could not grab. once he planet his butt he got a pat not on hte head as he reach to grab but on the shoulder to which he leans into you.
Same dog afraid of going up the ramp into the back of the truck, big blow by others. me no clicker just treats and praise up he goes in steps first no the ground up nad down then just on the stairs into the house then up the ramp. Now it simple I just say ramp and up he goes. This is shaping.
need more.
