she saw the greyhound and poodle and booger...she growls..starts barking and lunged even though they were 1/4 mile away.
I just did that chhhh sound and pointed her and told her to be nice and she settled.
its going to take some work because she did it again when she saw the dog walker with 5 dogs.
I feel in my heart if I remain consistant she'll learn |
I've thought about it, and talked to my trainer about that method, but truth be told, while he is an amazing trainer, I'm not too keen on his methods. I used to train horses, so when I watch that show I know a lot of why he's doing the things he does and it just doesn't jive with the way i've chosen to train. There are a few things he does that I like, but I'm going to give the positive training a try and see if I can nip it in the bud.
