[Ag-eq] sheep and dogs

[Tracy Carcione]

The remedy I learned at guide dog school, and have since heard TV dog 
trainers recommend is:
Do all the things you do when you're leaving--pick up your purse, put on 
your coat, whatever.  Go out, and go out of sight.  Come back in a minute or 
two.  If the dog starts to carry on before you go back, go back and tell him 
"Quiet", then leave again.  Gradually increase the time you're out.
The theory is that this technique teaches the dog that, even when you go 
out, you come back--he's not really being abandonned.

Jody, I think it's so funny/cool that your horse moves forwards backwards 
left and right, just like on Clinton Anderson's show!  I often threaten my 
Seeing Eye dog with teaching him that.  He's not particularly respectful, as 
Clint would say.
