[nagdu] Dog is marking

[Kristen]

Bobette,

I've seen some of your posts on here before about marking and 
detachment. If it were me, I would contact either Annette or Deb 
at KSDS. You may need more training or a respacement dog. Hope 
things turn around with Brisk, but I just don't think it is 
working right now :)

Alleha,

Have you tried using food rewards to give him something positive 
to
focus on? Viva doesn't like trains so I give her lots of treats 
and
encouragement whenever we ride one. Whenever you coax Dallas 
under a
seat, give him some treats so he can associate  it positive 
thoughts.
As for the pulling into the grass, do you take him out on a 
schedule?
I take Viva out on a pretty constant schedule so if she pulls 
into
grass, then I definitely correct her for that. He's probably just
sniffing around.

 Hello all,
   I know I haven't written in a while. It's been quite the 
busy time here.
   Good news: Dallas did fairly well at our state NFB 
convention last
 week. He didn't have an accident in the hotel, but he was a bit
 constipated for a couple days. The biggest issue I saw was his 
dog
 distractions. He likes to twist around in harness, making things 
very
 difficult. Most of the time, nothing but a high collar will get 
him
 even close to past a distraction.
   I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a couple of 
problems I'm
 having with Dally boy. He's a wonderful guide, but these issues 
are
 somewhat annoying. The first of them is his hesitance to go 
under
 chairs. I almost have to drag him under the chair, which makes 
both
 him and me uncomfortable. A sighted person says he shows some 
fear
 when I try to get him settled.
   Second, Dallas has a similar behavior on busses. He seems 
very
 fearful and, at times, cowers under the seat, leaping up at 
every
 stop.
   Third is his irrational fear of vacuum cleaners. I can 
handle this
 at home, but when one is being used, in a restaurant, say, I 
literally
 cannot keep ahold of him.
   The last issue is the most serious. Dallas likes to pretend 
he needs
 to park, pulling off to the grass and not going. He also has a
 tendency to stop in the sidewalk and stand there, looking 
around. No
 amount of coaxing will get him going again.
 Any suggestions?
 Thanks,
 Aleeha and the little yellow Dally boy
