[nagdu] walking in to objects

[Cindy Ray]

How do you correct Princess? Also, I don't know how much vision you have, but have you used that vision enough that the dog doesn't think she has to work around things? That could happen, so I'm not asking it as a way to criticize at all. Do you always correct when she runs you into things, even if it is just a brush?

When you correct, you might want to make her work it again; make her take you around it and don't just give her a leash correction or verbal one. Make sure you even correct her if she grazes your arm on something. Don't save it for the larger infractions.
