It's eye drops with Tatze? Rather than ear drops? If so, I'd have her at the side of me, laid on a bed or something, so you can reach behind her...
Tatze has the most beautiful face! Sigh.... Anyway, what Tatze has learned so far is to put her head on the towel. So once I had that with...
It's absolutely standard practice to use a crate so a puppy learns to hold on to wee. This is how most puppies learn toilet training. In between...
Agree - she needs to be in a crate, just like in the beginning. Plus make sure all the areas where she has had a wee are completely cleaned up...
Charlie always cocks his leg to poo. He has been known to do a handstand while pooing, in his efforts to poo up a tree. He says it's a boy thing. :D
I meant if Dexter has been castrated I can't see how it wasn't successful. Same as you said. :)
If you paired treats and a ball, the treats would become a marker for the ball (for Charlie who finds the ball massively more reinforcing than the...
That's what he thinks all the time anyway! :D He doesn't find food reinforcing really. It's not a bribe if it's in your pocket, out of sight....
Oops - sorry, Joy, we should take our got-nothing-better-to-do debate off your training log! :D:D:D
I'm tempted to just agree with you for the sake of it not being at argument. But....no. :D You said: Then you said: All you are saying...
Yes, I agree with you - you need to reward in position without it being a release for it to be efficient. Sure, a ball at the end would reward...
I think that takes too long, and is impractical (but ok in theory) particularly when distractions vary around you. It's what I've been trying so...
Why would that build duration in a heel? I'm trying to build duration up to 30 minutes plus....
So I tried rewarding Charlie's off lead heel with a Chuckit ball. It really has its disadvantages. First, he walks like a crab, craning his head...
I think if Dexter's plums are missing, I'm not sure how unsuccessful the operation could have been....? I quite like the explanation in the...
Yes. Most positive trainers use 2 quadrants: R+ and P-. I don't think that it needs to be an aspiration to remove the use of P- because it's a...
Gosh, haven't posted for ages! Mainly because Betsy ate my Go-Pro charger cable and I like posting videos (not as bad as blowing up a Laptop by...
I bet loads of older, reasonably well trained Labradors would be perfect as PATs dogs - I'd give it a miss for the first few years though, unless...
It could be - as Fiona explains above. I think the withdrawal from the puppy (that is, that standard instruction is yelp and stop playing) is...
Oh thank you! :) How nice of you to say. :) (He is quite calm these days, but he was the worst hooligan going in his puppy days).
