I totally agree with Erin on treats in the crate. ..Now, I know you are thinking they are getting worried because mom is leaving the house - NO, they all know right before I leave the house they get treats and they do not want to miss out  They all line up and get their treats and I easily walk out of the house. I consider this positive training as I can positively get out of the house without a problem.
Erin - you always have great advise  |
LOL, Cindy that's great, and when Dreama first started with the "No I am not going to bed, and if you try to pick me up I will bite your hand off" I kept a towel by the bed, too. Using "Be Nice" I have progressed to just my hands, which still get mouthed a bit when I first pick her up. She's getting there!
Erin, I do use treats in the crate, but I don't do the conditioning during the day, which is another excellent idea!
Thanks, ladies!!
