In Elo's reactive dog class, the first couple nights were basically me distracting with food. When I decided to give him a little room to make his own choices and reward them, he got a lot better a lot faster! For Jun, our auto-watch/LAT/BAT hybrid is working well to help her realize she HAS a choice. I don't think she feels any less nervous, but she is starting to make better choices about how to handle it.<br /><br />And for all you said about Ruby making bad choices . . . sounds like she made a LOT of good ones on your walk!! I think at some point they HAVE to start making choices, but when it is so hard to get them under threshold, like it was with Elo at first, you have to help them make those choices at first until they start to realize it is a good idea.Ninsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926615638315977082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-364510902774440038.post-9428196052199808302011-08-24T21:26:14.837-07:002011-08-24T21:26:14.837-07:00How lucky that it was a dog that reads and deliver...How lucky that it was a dog that reads and delivers signals clearly! And good thinking to turn around and not let the dog surprise B as you're trying to escape. Probably what I would have done on impulse and definitely not going to help anyone.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102334381905174767noreply@blogger.com
