[nagdu] howling was RE: Amazing dogs?

Garry,
I've done this millions of times it seems. I'm hoping she will get better
and I won't have to do a lot of it. It is pretty awkward, but safety is the
only thing that counts in my opinion.
I went on a college tour and Princess walked me in to a pole. I corrected
her, and pretty much said "no" in a super serious voice. Some lady started
muttering under her breath about how mean it was and blah blah blah wich
made me even more mad that day.

Hana:

This is true. When Bogart gets particularly distracted (like those pigeons
again) I get him to sit and then lie down. People on the list have mentioned
doing several of these. I find one is enough to get the point across to
Bogart and we are off again. It can be awckward since once it was a person
who he went to, veerring left from the sidewalk into a sort of
courtyard/fountain area in front of a big building. He went right to this
woman. I corrected him and while I was making Bogart do the sit and down
thing I explained to her why I was doing it and she seemed to get it. People
think you are really harsh on your dog to make him do this on the sidewalk.
:) I only use it when I feel things are out of control and I need bogart to
re-engage. In the two years we've been together probably have done this
action five or six times.
