When we're far enough away from the dog that Buster is not barking I ask him "Where is the doggie?" When he looks at the dog, I click and give him a treat. We're both having a great time.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451132815804002971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-82782655436323198292011-02-24T23:03:52.590-05:002011-02-24T23:03:52.590-05:00Awesome strides - I was especially impressed with ...Awesome strides - I was especially impressed with the new people in the basement. This is a tough one for my Nyxie - she wants to interact and be a part of things, but her fear and anxiety rear their ugly heads. If everyone's calm and being dog-smart, treats win out. Then she'll bring her ball to them for the rest of the night. <br />Great job!

Take care of yourself. It actually landed me in the hospital once... primarily because I'm too stubborn to slow down.<br /><br />I read the Layla update. And, I'm sure that you know this but the B12 might help with the wobbliness. That would be great outcome.<br /><br />It sounds like Marge is really doing great in all aspects of life. I've seen the kind of barkiness in my dogs that I think that you're describing, and it always has been a sign that their drive is getting really high. When I did canine search and rescue, we'd purposely make a dog watch another do an easy search while holding the watching dog back but saying stuff into her ear to get her revved up. Now, I do the same thing with my dogs when practicing recalls, making them watch each other. They get so intense while watching (and often bark) and develop a huge drive to do their own recall.<br /><br />I hope that's what's going with Marge!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-12239146560069823232011-02-23T11:33:12.860-05:002011-02-23T11:33:12.860-05:00Yah Yah Marge- woo are moving up the ranks in agil...Yah Yah Marge- woo are moving up the ranks in agility.

I'm sure she will be fine.<br />About barking, Eva lately starts barking when we walk her out in the neighhourhood. She didn't do it when she was a puppy but recently there is a dog always barks at her and she will give one or two barks back. Eva only barks at this particular dog and I have no idea why she doesn't bark at others even thought the others do the same thing to her. <br />Sorry about your sinus and pink eyes, they are no fun!!!Hope you're feeling better now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770349713578695608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-31465398265589778372011-02-22T22:19:13.681-05:002011-02-22T22:19:13.681-05:00Good job Marge..

Glad to hear Marge is doing even better though with the agility. I love reading about your dog reactivity situations, as I have this with Kirby. I have not taken him back to a pet store since this past fall (when he totally lost it over a dog). I am hoping that it will start to get better with rally starting soon. <br /><br />Kirby actually has stopped barking at certain dogs and he cries when he sees them, is it excitement or worry? I'm not sure, although he seems fine when meeting them. It is something I sure wish I could figure out! But your postings on this sure help with my confidence.<br /><br />Hope you will be feeling better soon,<br />Kirby's momKirby, CGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845583293526183881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-41809058472689433652011-02-22T18:49:23.972-05:002011-02-22T18:49:23.972-05:00I was sitting here, reading, saying, "yeah, y...I was sitting here, reading, saying, "yeah, yeah, yeah" to everything until I came to the pink eye stuff. No fun!<br /><br />But gooooo Marge!! The barking at excited dogs is something I'm doing some foundational work to address with Kona, although she can lose it a bit beyond the barking. Like you're thinking with Marge, Kona's issue isn't fear either (woohoo!). She "just" has a low tolerance to excitement. This carries over with play with me as well. <br /><br />I'm using relaxation protocol work but asking her to chill while I do all sorts of crazy things. Also working eye contact..I'll eventually ask her for this while other dogs are around.<br /><br />Always something to work on! I'll be interested to see how you work on this with Marge. It sounds like it's not a biggie with Marge, but it's progressed quite a bit with Kona since she's gained confidence over the last year (go figure!)AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851263591445841749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-72108893688211596452011-02-22T18:26:56.476-05:002011-02-22T18:26:56.476-05:00What a fantastic post about Marge!
