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

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Cheryl,

Mitzi's like that, too.  As far as she is concerned, there is no excuse for
rude behavior from me, so if I don't mind my manners, there we are.
Standing around randomly with an aggravated poodle looses its entertainment
value pretty quickly.  /lol/  So it's all smiles and sticky sweet cheery
tone for me!  /lol/

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
