Pam,
You should have told her to get off not down. This is human error on
commands! Smile!
Norman.

ont he bed a couple of times with him when he's been laying on it but she
got a wallop on the bum from me and ordered off. Not hard you understand,
just a light slap, but I really just dont want that starting thanks. Its not
fair either as the poor dog then gets told off by its handler for doing what
the rest of the family think is funny.

hi nadine
i know all about partners teaching the dogs bad habits. mine taught callie
to jump up on him when playing. but when she started doing it to me and my
kids too we had to nip it in the bud. she has pretty much stopped doing it
altogether now.

I am curious if you were old enough to remember eating these a la carte
treats, just how old were you?

all sorts of horrible things are possible!

Well, my dog ate rocks, bricks, etc. I would think wood is better. (grin)
Never broke her of it.

well my dog has a bad habit of eating sticks which make her sick a few hours
later and can't be good for her. she only does this on a free run never when
working. i've tried giving her toys to play with to distract her but it
doesn't really work she just goes back to eating the sticks. my instructor
said the only real solution is to find another free run area but where i
live is all woods so that's not really possible. so if anyone has any tips
for me on how to resolve this i'd b very grateful. other than that she's a
very good dog. happy new year :)

Nadine,
I can't exactly call them resolutions, but I want to work on a couple of
things with my dog that spoil an otherwise happy partnership. One is
scavenging, and the other is improving his recall, which has improved then
got worse again.
With the scavenging, I suppose I'll have to go through the food refusal
stuff we did in initial training. As I haven't got spare food to throw
around very often because I eat it too fast for it to go off! I'll have to
use bits of his kibble. If I can get him to walk past some outside, he can
have a treat. Hmm, food-related problem, rewarding him with food, wonder if
there's a better idea?
And his recall was getting really good at one stage, then one day he ran off
and although there were people about, nobody could tell me where he'd gone.
He did wonder back towards home eventually, but this was really worrying,
and I'd called the police and the dog wardens. I'm glad to say he was
brought home within a few minutes, but it worried me so much he hasn't had a
free run properly since. I take him around the field on a flexi-lead, and
he's got the idea now that he can run about quite a bit even with the
restrictions of the lead, but it's not as good as a real free run. I don't
have a pair of eyes available to me at the moment, and no longer employ a
Personal Assistant as I did before, so I'll have to do loads of obedience
stuff while he's on the flexi-lead in the hope that I'll be able to let him
go eventually. The other answer is to find a safer place to let him go, but
the only one I know of is miles away. No doubt we'll have a lot of fun with
whistles and treats and all that.
Apart from that, he's such a good worker, I just want to keep the good bits.
We went to town yesterday and went all around Sainsbury's with Zym waiting
patiently whenever I stopped to faff about. He was really excellent, even
among the mad crowds rushing about to the sales or whatever they were doing.
It was a long walk in and out, well, long enough at about 3 miles each way,
and he's got a very good idea even knowing which paths to take through the
park to go in the right direction. When he's good he's very, very good.
Vince.

Hi to all a happy new year if you recognise the calendar change at this
time.
Well it being the first few days of the new year now, I wonder has
anyone made any resolutions to include furry friend- such as more
walks, more grooms, fewer treats etc?
Had a wonderful Christmas and New Year in Lanzarote with Quartz, he
met all his friends, remembered his routes and had a lovely lazy time
with plenty of love and treats.
