[NAGDU] Tips please

[d m gina]

Hello to everyone
I have half a heart when she starts jerking her head around to let me 
know she wants nothing to do on her nose, my heart after a struggle slows down
If there are others on the list with this same problem, please speak up.
Please share what you do.
I know the day will come when she will decide this isn't worth doing 
this any more.
I don't have the halty if she wishes nothing over the nose I don't want 
to lose money.
I have done gentle leader as well as can't think of the name.

I received a message from a person last night that was not called for.
It was private, they would have been scolded if it hit the list.
I know how I was trained, where when the tricks of the trade don't 
work, then you trade tricks.
She is in a spot where it is will against will.
Smile,
we call er Molly because we leave a long leash on her letting it drag 
in the house so we know where she is.
Or I have it on my arm where she is under the desk.
This has helped some.
I just found a cord she thought might work for dinner.
Glad she didn't chew it all the way threw.
She can't climb on the desk any more because the leash tells on her.
I have lots of patients with her.
Again please heart patients come forward, it is ok to share what to do next.
We want to live as long as we can.
