Elise,

I think your trainer has good advice, but I also think it's important to figure out why she is hesisant.  Was she like this during training, or is this a new behavior?  Does Becky seem to be afraid of the traffic?  Is she shaking or whining, or just not wanting to move forward?  Are light posts near her a temptation for sniffing/scavenging?

Hope we can help.

Daryl

I need a little help with Becky again. We made it through our first month doing pretty well. For some reason, she is having issues crossing busy streets. She barely wants to go down the curb. Usually, she will plant her 60 pounds and will not budge until I coax her. My trainer said to give a little praise on the down curb and give her super duper praise on the up curb. This will give her a target to get a lot of praise and an extra treat. I have been doing this for a week or so. She is a lot better in residential streets (not really the problem.) But, the busy intersection crossings at a light is her problem area. Does anyone have any ideas other than what my trainer told me? Thanks. Elise and Becky (soon to cross streets easily) _______________________________________________ nagdu mailing list nagdu at nfbnet.org http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nagdu: http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/crazymusician%40shaw.ca
