Buckley is fine with people running and things like that. the trainer had me make him sit when he started to growl. this has helped. some kids he sees he wants to play with. he doesn't do this on a regular basis we don't have any friends that have kids. in the past I would try and get Buckley's attention when he was growling and give him a treat when he stopped. not really any similarities between them. and it is always at two places one is a bar where my friends and I hang out and drink soda's and the other is at the church where I go on Friday nights. it is also the church I go to on Sunday's but he never has trouble with the kids there on Sunday's. but the kids normally aren't running up to him or running in general on Sunday's Ridge and Buckley Guide SD ----- Original Message ----- From: Infinitepaws@xxxxxxx<mailto:Infinitepaws@xxxxxxx> To: vi-clicker-trainers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:vi-clicker-trainers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2007 11:08 AM Subject: (VICT) Re: Buckley being aggressive......

Ridge, what did the trainer do that helped?What have you done in the past if Buckley growled? Does Buckley interact/play with kids? Do people running up to him scare him? Or just kids? What do you do now to control Buckley? Has he done this before? Are there any similarities between the diffferent situations? Are they in the same places?
