Re: Specific agility situation and negative punishment problem

ooh he does love his agility doesnt he!! I also do agility with Dylan which he loves. When you do obtsacles like the A Frame, dog walk, see saw etc, do you get him to 'touch' at the end so he either sits or lies on the white area with his paws on the sand? I just ask this because if your dog is used...

Re: Please Help.. separation anxiety, chewing, refusal to go out

I dont know if this will be anyhelp or not, but I did overcome separation anxiety with my dog....he was a rescue and it did take me a good couple of months! I basically started off leaving him for literally like 10 seconds....walking out the front or back door and then waiting a short while and comi...

Re: Aggression to visitors in home & some people outside

Oh those are really interesting points Emma - thank you! I hadnt thought about if guests give him treats it may be making him out of his depth in order to get the treat. Makes sense though!

Re: Aggression to visitors in home & some people outside

Oh thank you so much everyone for your posts - its warmed my heart! TTouch sounds an interesting concept but to be honest, I am really not sure Dylan would let a stranger touch him like that - and I would hate the person to get bitten?

Re: Aggression to visitors in home & some people outside

Hi! Oh thank you SO much for your reply! SO really....was your boy displaying much the same behaviour? How did you get on top of the behaviour when people visited your home and is he improving now?
