    Should I Let Him Back On The Bed?

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    I suggest no bed privileges unless invited by you. I've had 2 incidents of growling/snapping with Trolley & both were bed involved. She thought she could take over my space. She was very wrong. :angryfire Each time that she has tried this I go back to reinforcing NILIF. No bed snuggling unless I initiate it & it's only for a few minutes & then she is off the bed. Works for us & no growls since. Good luck...

    How To Keep A Hound

    i take advantage of a dog who has such a keen food drive and keep them w/ me in the kitchen. yup, with me and teach them basic skills such as down, sit, wait,back(moving backwards) leave it. i also teach them NOT to stick their head in the fridge, garbage or countersurf while they are with me. i have had wonderful results, it takes a tad longer to prep a meal but well worth it. the mystique of the kitchen and aromas of food become mundane and the end result is a pup w/ good food manners.

     

    i had one dog who stuck her head in the fridge and grabbed a bag of onions! i had to laugh to myself :lol . but w/ work and food rewards- always their own variety, not what i was prepping, i have had excellent success. give it a try, have a rug on the floor for the dog to lie on and stay as you work away.btw, one needs to contain the space and NOT let them leave the kitchen, jilly's chair lineup will work for that.

    Excellent suggestion! :)
