Mattie, No the dog would get within 3 meters and freak out but I am pleased to report the dog now gets IN the car and goes quietly around the block for about a 20 min drive. I suggested they take the dog to a nice quiet drive thru and get a plain burger with no bun or something less 'junk foodish' s...

Ohhhh terribly sorry about the double posts, please pardon them.
Thanks heaps

I can sympathize with your situation because my Border Collie was the same, either freezing or bolting. I realized that I would have to work on this a little at a time and like your dog she loved her treats but wouldn't give them a second look outdoors when walking. I started in the yard and would d...

Ok so Cara and Honda now have a reputation around our one traffic light town as coming so far so fast thanks to Victoria and you all, but now people are ringing me for advice on their own dogs. It is all fine but I ran into something I have never encountered. A dog scared to death of riding in the c...

3 breakthroughs in 24 hours!! Yes, two pups from a neighbor came over whilst I had the girls out with me feeding and tossing hay to the horses. Before I knew it I heard barking and the pups were in the yard. Cara took off like a shot and I remembered to set her up to SUCCEED so I knew calling her wo...

No no the flowers go to the girls for tolerating me LOL. They are such good pups........now, if I could JUST train the hubby !!!!!!!!!!!!

... and she proved not only that but she reinforced that I am on the right track. I went out this morning and of course we did our walk with Cara and Honda and then we played with the agility weave poles and a few small jumps (4 and 8 inches). Well she has been 'off' the last couple of days on some ...

Well I can speak from experience on the Cesar subject because I went head into it after a horrible encounter my dogs had with another in which my pup went right after another dog. I knew it would take baby steps and therefore I started by purchasing the 4dvd, card set and Illusion collar. Well, in a...

You know, it did dawn on me last night that I am not so sure which I like the best. The new things I try and the dogs pick it up straight off, or....... the times that I try and try and try, learning more about them then they do about the new task. Is this normal? LOL Cara the BC mix nearly 9 mos pi...

Ah things are going SO much better. Well today hubby and I went to coffee with some friends. It was rainy and yuk so I had him ring the coffee shop and see if they are dog friendly which they were. We took the pups and wow, this seems to be 'sinking in'. LOL. Of course I took my belt pack (being fro...

Well I was faced with a challenge today and I wanted to share it with everyone for feedback, good OR bad, all accepted. A friend came by with her dog, a little chow something mix very well behaved dog. Cara of cousre with the dog aggression issues was my main focus. Well I had the chicken bits on th...

Oh they all had strict instructions LOL and she has been around them before, but at OUR place so on HER turf. I do see what you are saying and yes I do occassionally work them seperately because they have such different personalities. Honda is SO SPOILED and the hardest thing to do is to train hubby...

Well the 3 yr old is off to be spayed March 3rd and the 8mo old is going the same day for her bi-annual check up. I am having to drop off the 3 yr old and can take the 8mo old when I pick up the 3 yr old, they will give her her wellness exam and then bring Honda out. Question is this. I am building ...
