That's so true and partly my fault as well. I forget to give them the "training regiment' before they come over and then sit there embarrassed while she mauls them with that huge tongue of hers.
Yep love treats.Answer>yes, My sister has 2, attention span of gnat....LOL, but will work for rewards
They train better is you let them watch another being trained and getting the treats.
Found that out while training a Walker Hound.
the Walker was a rescue. He failed the gun test.
Poor thing would just shiver and drool during thunder storms.
Even your company has to be on the same page as you, have some one do trials at your door and reinforce the calm behavior with sit stays or go to your bed drills and anyone that you know is coming over, ask them not to engage the dog at all, no eye contact no petting, after a few wins, reward that but only after they have listened to your commands and remained calm. be assertive.
Absolutely 100% correct
it will when she downloads it!
awwwwwww that's so cute!! Mornin hun!
Jup! He just has so much energy that he can't get out. when I can I go in the yard with him when he goes out, and try to get him to run around the yard. We did that bout an hour ago. I can't chase him, but I can clap and crouch a little like I'm gonna chase him. He's very food oriented. I've started showing him a treat then hiding it, to give him something to do that gets the nose and brain engaged. I think Lynn or someone mentioned that. Mighta been a friend who has Tervs on the other place.
I've always said that the only 3 tools a woman needs is duct tape, a hammer, and a big flat head screwdriver.
The screwdriver is for pryin stuff open!
If it moves and shouldn't........duct tape it
If it don't move and should...... beat it with a hammer til it does!
I've wondered bout all the gorilla stuff.......good to know it's worth the price.
this is exactly it! They need to be calm and ignore her til she settles, then love on her. But it's hard to get folks to do that.
JUP! I do wish they'd get another dog.......he could play with it in the yard, and get a lotta energy out. Get one with a calmer demeanor and hopefully he'll learn to be calmer. Or he'll get the other dog to go bat shit crazy! hehehe
Hiya
I've done this one with her since I got her and it is absolutely the hardest it seems. She's a gobbler, she walks with her nose to the ground looking for anything to eat which may contributed to our issues we are having(if we indeed having one). So I am ramping it up a little by holding up firmly on her leash/harness coupled with the command and a reward when she moves past what ever she had her eye on. But I am really starting tho think the harness is working against me so I am looking into the training leads, not the choker crap but something that sits right below the jawline comfortably.
I will say this though she's incredibly smart and I think most of our issues are because of her trainer and not her. Which is also why I am considering "professional help", I want her to be an advocate for her breed and show just how great of a dog they can be if they're with the right people.

Yeah I highly recommend the gorilla stuff I have several of their products in the house at all times. Super glue, duct tape, wood glues, etc.. And I love your description of how to fix anything I think I went to the same "Texas College of Fixing Crap".
Have you ever tried the easy walker harnesses? They are amazing for training , Google them, I think they have a demo showing how they work and why they are effective on pullers and head strong dogs.
Yep I attended about 40 hours of 'Train the trainer' training about 15 years ago in Tampa.
I think I might get another dog, mine passed away this year, especially now we live right on the beach. Probably get another whippet.
Awwwwww, well that's gone an done it....
get cats a BIG sandbox for them
Energy burned off? Spaniels....
True but I loves me whippetsget cats a BIG sandbox for them
Amazing how quickly a trained dog can regress when paired with an untrained one
Yep they do have human tendencies.
Ahhh, the old "way to a man's heart is through his stomach" trick.Ohh and Kad she will not teach you how to make gumbo. A bit of leverage to keep ya comin back

What breed is she? If you said, I forgot.
Jup. I have the time, but can't walk very far, son just doesn't have much time but does what he can. dil doesn't give a crap about training him and undoes what we do.
Love whippets! I was lookin at a rescue IG (italian grayhound) similar to a smaller whippet.
Ok........I gotta go pick up my son from school since I dropped him off and stole his car. then an appt at the pain clinic, so will talk to y'all later! hugssssss
Aww... responsibilities.. always responsibilities.
Absolutely agree with this, takes them less time to "unlearn" training and revert back to pack mentality, if part of that pack has little or no obedience training.Amazing how quickly a trained dog can regress when paired with an untrained one
Yep they do have human tendencies.
She's a terrier mix been trying to avoid their "street name" so I guess she qualifies as a terrier
I know some people who refer to them as Pibbles. Maybe you could use that?
Shes very lucky to have such a loving owner
Well, at least the vampires will leave you alone...
My trainer says that when I go to do DIY jobs...

Luckily, it will not be firewood season when he gets here.
Yeah, Emily is stressing because I can see lots of potential home improvements that could be done here but she's having none of it. I think she heard about the paint pot I dropped all over the kitchen floor, the copper water pipe I drilled through, the TV that I mounted on the wall that somehow fell off, oh yeah, maybe she has a point. That chipboard tree house didn't work out either.Rixy, set the chainsaw down, and back away slowly. That's a good boy.
Rixy, me boy, are ya sayin' to us that yer little more 'an a walking disaster awaitin' ta happen?
HINT: Hire a contractor.

I have heard that and do say it at home from time to time when I tell her she's being a viscous pibble.
Thanks I appreciate it, it's the only way I know how to care for little furry critters.
After reading here can't say that I blame you!No DIY for Rixy
No LynnAfter reading here can't say that I blame you!
Rixy the Toolman?
Do the local emergency room people know you by name as soon as you come in?
Jup! Stable dogs can help unstable dogs become stable......but it can also work the other way.
ahhhhhhhhh Just call her an Amstaff. American Staffordshire Terrier.
