[nagdu] Do you ever get angry with your dogs and how tocontroleit?

[cheryl echevarria]

My maxx is  very sensitive, so when I raise my voice he just wont do anything and so I turn it around and put a high happy pitch in my voice and then he is so eager to do better.

also one or 2 crunchy green beans his favorite treat gets him around as well.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  I think there has been good advice here. If I am frustrated for some reason, 
  say lost, and I get angry because the dog won't find our way, I stop, take 
  deep breaths, put him at sit, and think, and praise. If he's done something 
  like yours did I don'tget over it very fast, but the next time he does 
  something right, I praise him profusely. I don't do severe corrections. If 
  my dog is distracted by dogs and I can't get him to stop, I stay back, put 
  him at sit, and make him do "doggie push ups", down, up, down, up, until he 
  seems to be attentive again. But mostly, more praise than anger and they 
  soon forget the times you were angry, I'm just sure of that.

  Cindy
