Hi @Bud Light/Dilly Dilly In order to clear something up I wasn't trying to explain LAT training. I had in mind desensitisation. You don't...
Very good question @Adamf I would initially teach in roughly the order set out below. 1. a conditioned reinforcer (yes or clicker) 2. name...
Hi @Ryan Murphy It's unusual for separation anxiety to manifest itself a long time after you've been good. It usually startsduring your...
You might be correct. Make sure she approaches the area with the deer in her own good time. Let her determine the pace of interaction. Treat for...
the figures were just examples. First time approach the distraction, when he no longer listens then walk away from the distraction until he...
Hi @Bud Light/Dilly Dilly You will need to train him to walk next to you when people/other dogs are in the far distance. Then gradually train...
Hi @mom2labs Unfortunately it will not pass. Jumping fences is self-reinforcing. You will need to start teaching the dog a boundary. The...
Hi @Bug0926 Sounds like a bit of separation anxiety behaviour. I would go back a step or two in the crate training, i think you may have...
You should be proud @Bud Light/Dilly Dilly . I imagine you are using shaping to teach the trick. If there are too many unsuccessul repetitions...

Hi @Rhian I am sorry to read of you plight. It's fairly common with the advancing years. I don't know what can be done physiologically. But on...
Fair enough too. One can't let that pile climb as high as an elephant's eye and touch one's behind. My Lab in my avatar used to be always on the...
Then you have to learn to stuff them in more devious ways. Use treats that require you to use all your strength to get them through the opening....
Patience @Bud Light/Dilly Dilly all dogs are different. Some learn a skill quicker than others, but then again take relatively longer to master...
Hi @Marley ❤ Okay, can you fill us in on your current level of interaction with your dog? 1. Will the dog sit on command? 2. Sit stay for how...
Hi @KrisM okay I understand and agree with your reasoning. Dogs are social animals. She wants to be around you. So what to do about the...
Hi @KrisM, if she is reluctantly going in the crate, then I'd re-train crating. Please read Jo Lauren's article found at...
Hi @John Smith I would think about finding another day care. It is not good for the dog's health to be over-aroused to the point that a Lab will...
