Breedia Dog Forum
Awwww. :049:
And maybe given time for further bonding while training, she'll become fully compliant, especially b/c you are reading what helps her to succeed...
I meant to comment on Helidale's reference to saying commands a few times.... Long time ago someone told me to never repeat a command once the dog...
@Malka I was caregiver to a man in a power chair and his little mixed breed knew that clicks = movement. Clearly, she was the smartest of the two of...
@CaroleC I use the word 'yes' as well...just in a different way that I normally would. My niece had a beagle, too, and said if that dog set her mind...
i use marker training. HIghly effective. I don't have to fumble with a clicker, wonder where it is, etc., plus markers help connect the dog / animal...
My "little mule" did it. Finally. He started "handing me" things but was so very selective about what he'd hand me, and inconsistent. We hadn't been...
Gorgeous. There's nothing like that special connection we get with a certain dog. Can't be duplicated, unable to be forgotten, and forever deeply...
"...to gain comfort for themselves..." as the article states, can make sense, at least in a human mind. In the situation of the golden retriever, the...
Haha--I'm hangin' on by a thread here. As soon as I understand the distinction you're trying to make, I blink--and it's gone. GENERALLY speaking to...
Uh...not out there at all. There are lots of examples of this. A good one is farmers or local people of an area who know the weather is changing or...
As others have stated, there's no way to tell just by looking at him. His hair type, for example, isn't specific to a single breed. Regardless,...
My heart goes out to you and poor Shania. You have double the hurt because you are hurting for her, too. I am so sorry. I put down my 14 yo Dutch...
I love science, but it's really just a tool, IMHO. Only fifty years ago we believed the Milky Way was the extent of the universe. And now we're back...
How was he being bad? You mean on the walk? Was he to be at a heel or loose leash? He wasn't pulling, which is very nice. He's beautiful. Bet...
:101: A couple years ago, Smithsonian did an article on canine cognition called The Evolution of Friendship. The slant is that while we've only...
Maybe I'm playing semantics; I see this more as an "Uh-oh..." or an "Oopsie!" than guilt. When I rough-house with a dog (who knows the...
Thank you!
Ding-ding-ding! Helidale gets the prize. Turid Rugaas. I teach nonverbals to most verbals. I love the days that flow with nonverbal communication...
I haven't read much at all about dogs and possible guilt, except recently I read something about the part of the brain responsible for guilt isn't...
