[nagdu] Fisher went to School

[Vanessa Lowery]

That is usually a tool almost of last resort.  AT least with TSE, they are careful about when they issue those.  I use one with Griffin in very specific situations.  But it was drilled into me how to use it, and I had to state my case to even get an OK from them.

Cindy,
Have you used the pinch collar? Princess does pretty well with it. I don't
correct her much these days because of it.

Well, I'm glad he could help, too. He was a little frustrated because we
couldn't find many dogs to fool with. LOL. So the best laid plans ...
Anyway, though, I will just have to get out with Fisher in the cooler parts
of the day and practice avoiding dog issues. It may be very successful.

corrections can be administered with the leash attached to the GL.  And
isn't it always the case that when you need dogs, lots of dogs, they and
their people go into hiding???

<Giggle> We found some dogs, and by the time we went to Pet Smart this
afternoon, he was no longer growling/barking at the dogs, though he was
interested. He respondes to corrections way better with the GL on. John said
they had determined that mostly you couldn't hurt a dog with a GL unless you
had a wicked strong correction (not his words exactly) and I don't. Fisher
responded much faster to the GL even in the sniffing department, so there
was little more to do. I will just have to go on some walks in cooler
weather and see how he does. If that seems to not be working, I'll just have
to call again.
