    In its most basic form the coming to you should be a way of attaining a reward , build a chain of behavior The dog on line by your side , tel it to "Wait" throw out a piece of its dinner a few metres away , Put your hand out for a "Come " Get the connection , the dog must touch the hand Give that a "yes" yes been the reward is imminent sound , and let the dog get reward , If you chain the come with the reward , you'll be rewiring the behavior Give "Yes " and reward for any good behavior and your more likely to see it again Don't give much freedom until you start seeing social beh

    How'd she go at the weekend ,, Has she hunted that ground much , she moves like she's expecting a bird (searching ) rather than scenting She looks a right sort

    If chaining 2 exercises I'd drop a reward then, but not before , if I give him a YES, he knows100% that a reward is coming with the feeling of the reward coming to him ,I get other behaviours in that excited mindset , sit , down , heel fetch , gradually extend the command timelenght from seconds to minutes but always giving the reward at the end , dropping a reward is more confusing , the feeling of getting a reward in the near future is an eager mind to work with and easier to built a chain of events

    Your 3rd paragraph is the most insightful , sorry I can't express that highlighted or fancy , making a sensory connection in a very primal manner( oral is the most basic and first impulse to connect ) connects the dog back into the group mind A natural connection which gives dog a target for contact , dogs need to be show how and where to connect and huge for retrieve , dogs will see hands as positive because there is no way round a hand shy dog Top class advice

    In reading dog behavior resistance to owner and external distractions are the overwhelming issues for a dog dealing with how it feels when given a choice llike this If there are no distractions, the dog has developed a pattern recognition which can be worked on by changing the behavior of the owner and making it worth the dogs while by establishing a reward system thus rewiring how a dog feels about a behavior

    Don't use a shock collar on that pup , its completely focused on the negetive in its environment coming from bad treatment reading between the lines , Unless you leave an e collar on 24/7 and that's not going to happen you going to have a very reactive dog in relation to human contact , so no matter where the correction comes from the dog is going to place blame at the handlers door , Long long line , all food in pocket or whatever , feed only when pup makes contact , when outside on long line, no changes from that , the dog won't starve only feed in your space No corrections an

    Can anyone buy a mink over there, are they sold to the public as pets like some ferrets have become over here ?

    You can use food in a number of ways, It can be used to oil the cogs of a reluctant dog to focus and overcome fear with food as a desire I only use food while out I don't feed at home but I live in the sticks so it's not an issue A dog can't hold on to 2 feelings at the same time , hunger promotes desire , it can't hold onto fear when a desire is overwhelming and in return fear has to be given up, I feed all grub out walking the pup , no bowl, get behaviours, mark it , then feed a bit , no free lunch , it just become habit forming and the pup will start giving you behaviours

    No doubt about it training the mutt is far easier than the owner , You can train a dog something and not really be able to voice just how it happened because when a dog tunes in , it seems to second guess what you expect from it , none of it is rocket science but try it with a strange dog and the f****r will sit there licking his sack , the bond is the key , get the trust built and the rest of it just follows

    Your not doing to bad there sir with your advice The dog should have no resistance in or around its owner, a lot of little niggles with the dog are ironed out by a feeling of trust in that space Don't go grabbing shit off the dog, let it come into the space first, the item hand over can wait

    Is she a shy type, yourself her and the rabbit in the same space is not working for her, Feed only in your space , sit on a chair and get her putting her feet up on you to feed A dog can play all the games of ball and tug but still harbour some resistance to its owner Did she ever retrieve ??

    That English 'celebrity' dog trainer's dangerous,she's got people bitten on her show,imagine how many accidents there's been from people following her advice. There are stories out there about Cesar Milan's APBTs killing his client's dogs. Those TV trainers come in, get a dog to relax for a while, get that recorded and edited then leave and pretend that half day of 'training' makes the dogs like model citizens for the rest of their days. It's the same with them all, they all have a product to sell, originally they may have had best intentions at heart but both sides are so entrenched

    Dogs can be so tuned into us that they just want what we want, Thought plenty of dogs things over the years and if ya asked me now how I did it , I couldn't explain When an animal tunes in its almost like telepathy

    I'd rather have a dog make contact in that form with sheep rather then the alternative When a dog is stimulated he has to act which can take many forms , it's all just an urge to make contact When my father was taking out a young dog introducing it to cattle , he had no problem with the pup ingesting their shite , ingestion grounds the feeling of stimulation produced in the pup by the sight of them

    What's the temperment like bud

    Line becomes habit forming leave line on while out when i start venturing a pup out line is always on until i see the constraints of the line reflected in his behaviour everywhere , so she can't just f**k off and do what see wants , Get her carrying the dummy beside you don't be in a panic to grab it up its coming into your space with it is the clincher , food is also good for the dog feeling at ease in your space , feck away bowl and look for behavior for everything , no such thing as a free lunch

    Id get that dog on a long line and see how it is , line while out and out of its run , different space different state (of mind) The dog becomes stimulated by whatever environment it's in, it's not the dog thinking it's the dog feeling how it felt last time in that space , if ya get my drift A bit like how we can go right back to how we felt when we heard about 9/11 or John Lennon been shot , it's an emotional snap shot , we can be very very clear about our surroundings Different space different state, throw the line on and always be positive when it's on ,the feeling of the line

    A dog like him needs a focus don't worry about the socialisation now He will only build up a charge for other dogs Once he knows his job you'll have no worries, that sort of conifidence carries into all aspects of his environment , your part of the bargin is to build trust in the relationship , with trust the dog feels in control and is more likely to keep himself social because it feels better

    You can see a lot of commitment in him I like that he looks a confident sort the type that won't be found wanting , nice animal

    It's basically obvious now at this stage the way dogs are been kept and hyper stimulated in modern society is failing Nobody raises a dog to harm children but until we address the latent oral driven energetic behavior of large dogs these cases will keep according We have bred large capacity of energetic stores into some breeds with no real understanding of where the tipping point lies The tipping point is where a dog must offload , it must purge his system, it's caused by constant stimulation , other dogs people noises and lack of Natural canine behavior, the next time you hea

    I'm argueing that dogs are social by nature , pups are born social , they just need to be kept that way by assessing their prey making facility The hunt is what keeps wolf life social not the pack , the pack is fractious with a lot of infighting , the hunt brings harmony , Neither the positive or dominance side address this as a way of having a social dog, they can't get the link between the hunt in whatever form that takes and a bonded state of being in the dog He doesn't become social because of dominance/ positive he become social in spite of it , a lot of dogs don't make it

    It's interesting to watch dog behavior Chook but the dog is just portraying how he feels in that particular moment , his behavior is immediate moment He not showing another his feelings he is his feeling , he can't pretend He can't bluff, there is no intent it's about what the external stimulation make him feel

    It's all part of the positive claptrap ," there are many types of aggression "what I'm saying there is one aggression but just different temperaments that's how it's going to be expressed in a different mannerSome dogs implode some explod depending on temperament , why complicate things , trying to blind people with science How complicated do you think dogs are , what's the bottom line bud Try explaining the nature of dogs , it's not difficult but then I suppose you'll say there are many different natures Your doing home checks on people but you don't really understand the nature of dogs, y
