[nagdu] howling was RE: Amazing dogs?

Tue Apr 24 19:59:30 UTC 2012

Lea,
I'm not so sure that will work. I think the only thing to do would be to
correct her and get her attention that way otherwise it'll be like talking
to a wall. I'm sure this would work with some people, but not Princess. She
is very very stubborn and has a mind of her own. So if she sees something
she wants, then she's going to try to get it.

Hannah, my understanding is that doing this is an older style of training. I
am not sure if this is so yet or not. But maybe instead of being so
agressive to her, try more of a possitive reinforcement. This might get her
attenchen better. It is to me like, if you have a kid and they smart off to
you, instead of popping them in the mouth and yelling at them, stay calm and
talk calmly to them and they will be more likely to listen. These are my
thoughts, and if anyone gets their feelings hurt, that is not my intenchens.
