[nagdu] Impulse control first attempt

[Tami Jarvis]

That is so great! Glad you had fun and that it is helping.

Training is a lot like programming, from the planning on. Computers are 
slightly more predictable than dogs, however. /lol/

I do like the focus from using positive reinforcement. It works both 
ways, so I get better at engaging and communicating, and it's all just 
really fun. Well, using redirection and all that jazz to deal with 
unwanted behaviors can be frustrating at times, but the process of 
thinking my way through how to get the desired results makes me a better 
communicator and keeps me engaged as it does the dog, so it's worth some 
added hassle in the long run.

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Tami
