[NAGDU] I think Belto finally gets it

[Jordan Gallacher]

Tracey,
Try using an excited voice and lots of praise.  Belto was doing something
similar to that, and then it got worse where he would start looking around
me for treats.  So, I have not used treats in a long while.

Hi Jordan.
What method did you use to get him to move up smartly to the curb?
Krokus often pokes up to curbs.  I've tried clicking and treating, which
solves the problem for a while, but, when he sees no more treats are coming,
he slides back into creeping up.

Belto is turning into a really great dog.  I have been working on getting
him to be more confident coming up to street corners, and that has paid off.
He now pretty much charges straight up to them, and then he hits the brakes.
Street crossings are now better as well than they were.  Not sure why, but
he had a habit of hesitating after a couple steps when it came to street
crossings, and that often threw me off.
