[nagdu] Food refusal

[Lyn Gwizdak]

I had a shepherd that yelped when corrected.  She did it BECAUSE it was a 
correction.  I knew this because she has yanked herself alot harder in play 
and no yelp.

If it happened in public, I'd do a real quick correct of whatever type - 
real fast and next to no undue body motion on my part.  then people would 
just assume that someone accidently stepped on the dog!  Worked for me! LOL!
