KathyMiller- That is such a good idea with the gates and treats, I can't believe I never thought of doing that before!! Im going to start that tomorrow with Sadie and Toby. She seemed ok with him being on the bed if he is there before she is, otherwise if he jumps up- bad news!!

Buckysmom- That is something I had been doing before but I wasn't sure if she was really learning anything- my mom kept saying " oh yeah, praise her for doing it in the house and you moving it outside" I would give her treats sometimes too. When I would so " Bad" she would always have a look on her face like she knew, even when we were walking over to her poop. I will continue to do this and hopefully she will keep being good- the warm weather is here and she is learning faster and faster!!
Does anybody have advice on her not coming to me when called? She responds to her name but when you call her or try to get to her to pick her up she darts away- I am not sure what to do with her about this? Do I need to practice recall? |
