Click training my dogs has helped me pull them out of unwanted ring behavior.

Another thing that pet owners are not aware of is the fear factor time frames.....8, 12, 16, 21 weeks.......Nothing, nothing should be done out of the ordinary during these timeframes. Anything that creates fear will be embedded into them.

Thanks for that info. I wish we could have stickies in our User CP. There are so many posts from people that know more than me that I like to go back and reference.
