Regarding my parents, yes they do dog sit. But Kimchee doesn't really show much separation anxiety any more unless we lock her in her kennel.
I think the main problem there is they let her do whatever she wants 
This probably plays a big part in hindering her training.
I guess we'll just have to work a little harder on training Kimchee and my parents!  |
Dogs do not genrealize so train at your parents home and with your parents around so she understands that the rules are the rules.
Or do what I do give my dog a break and let them have time off from nothing in life is free and fun time at grandmas or in our case aunties.
Again dogs do not genralize so getting good stuff one place should not unless you break the rules when with the parents should not effect anything.
My girls hang out and run wild and are safe as tehy are not set up to fail they get tucked away if guest come and do not understand that one is special needs when at Aunties house.
The down time is wonderful and gives them a vacation and freshens their want to learn and gives me a break too.
Karrie treat and train does not mean being permissive so your are not being alpha you are being a good parent and leader if sometimes you stand your ground and say no you can not eat that gopher even f you really really want to and if you come away I will find you something as good as I can to replace it. Alpha would be get off that gopher or I will drag you kicking screaming and foaming at the mouth cause I am choking you on the choke chain as in the fellow on TV.
There is a usual mistake made that positive means we let our dogs do as they please when they please and or always for a treat. My guys rarely see a clicker or treat now as they are all trained and on radom reinforcement which is a goal of any good clicker trainer to get away from bribing thier dog.
I do drag it out to shape something new or in times when I want to freshen something or just for fun for all.
