Abby was really scared by the bells hanging over her but not by them laying on the floor, so we started there. Everytime she touched the bells I gave her a treat. She was only a puppy so I just did it before dinner every day for a few minutes over about a week. Then I moved them to the corner by the garage door (I actually thumbtacked them to the baseboard) Everytime she touched them I gave her a treat and opened the door. Then I stopped treats and just opened the door (that was like a treat to her) then I spent two weeks opening the door Many times a day! We ended up just using two bells attached to a string nailed to the baseboard and she kicks it to go out. |
