What a clever idea, which I will have to keep in mind for training with things I need dogs to ignore/leave. <br /><br />It's lovely to know I'm not the only one who likes to do and talk about problem-solving through training and crafting new ways of training specific things! <br />Of course my training problems are not as unique as yours, but training dogs that Melonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096024678243322835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-8739504912522701782015-12-21T11:43:49.486-07:002015-12-21T11:43:49.486-07:00Wow - this is incredible!

It's hard not to scold when it's something that is genuinely dangerous, but I love your new positive approach. Your pictures are amazing, as always. I'm not sure I could get Ruby or Boca away from such a treasure trove.

In a conversational tone, I told her, "no no darlin, we don't do that...you can get hurt." The correction...if you can call it that...sent her pouting to the back of the car. We also have a dog in our hiking pack that takes off when deer are near.CreekHiker / HollysFollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987597104795294851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-70367315203437353522015-12-10T16:51:24.024-07:002015-12-10T16:51:24.024-07:00don't be too hard on yourself, KB.

When I caught that I was doing the same thing I used positive methods and made it a fun game. See fiona, I have treats and the cat doesn't. lol!<br /><br />I love learning new things with the dogs and they love learning too.

Tremendous. And so glad it helped you recover your fun.<br /><br />Hope you can find some relief from pain soon. The big challenge is that fear of pain increases the pain which makes the sufferer not want to move which increases the pain which increases the fear.
