GREETINGS FROM SOUTH A...Hey there Cabana's mom,<br />GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!<br />...and thanks for the visit to our blog. It's always nice to meet new friends.<br />You have an awesome blog! We love your pictures (especially the 'muddy' ones of C!). We are rather pleased to see that Cabana will be yours for a lifetime (and not just the year). What an awesome committment you guys took on though - we are in awe!<br />We laughed at the cowpat and barbed wire story...it just reminds us that we actually do need to allow our pups that opportunity just to be dogs!<br />Good luck with all your training. You really seem a wonderful doggie-owner.<br />Lotsalicks<br />MAXDOG & MOM IN SOUTH AFRICAMaxmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352085013260757004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991878347710358809.post-72745150004241190452010-01-09T17:27:20.828-08:002010-01-09T17:27:20.828-08:00Even at 8 yrs old, Chelsie still sometimes "f...Even at 8 yrs old, Chelsie still sometimes "forgets" her recall. Usually a change in tone an volume produces the desired behavior. If I have to walk over to her when she "forgets", I make her sit, an we practice "come" all the way into the garage...typically ending with a scolding "you need to come when your mom calls you". Yeah right..in one ear and out the other, most of the time...don't forget about puppy push ups for you to regain control when she ignores you and give her the opportunity to get praise for goo behavior.OSU 98https://www.blogger.com/profile/04770022596782695331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991878347710358809.post-22963805854452766882010-01-09T00:35:31.750-08:002010-01-09T00:35:31.750-08:00OMG liver is doggy crack!

I have to get my kiddos in the middle of it! <br /><br />Another great treat to use is made by Feed This - local company with all natural ingredients (and REALLY great eggs! ;) ) They are meaty and moist, easy to break into smaller pieces. You can get them at the local feed store and the local froo-froo dog store just down from the feed store.Cassie & The Dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512978333088603794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991878347710358809.post-82943765832899406482010-01-08T18:43:13.025-08:002010-01-08T18:43:13.025-08:00Your weather is so delightful -- I would love a Ja...Your weather is so delightful -- I would love a January like that.

It comes in many flavors- lamb, duck, turkey, chicken, beef. And you cut it up, keep some in the fridge for recent use and freeze the rest for future use. It keeps in the fridge for about a week and the freezer about a year. It works very well for those dogs that don't seem turned on by many other treats or find other things way more interesting and distracting.Katrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764862508335450379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991878347710358809.post-25445999009844344932010-01-08T11:33:54.845-08:002010-01-08T11:33:54.845-08:00Oh man, you sound like me!

I detest working with Kira on her recall because she's just not so bright so I don't. I think, once you find that patience, can ya send some north? ;-) Sometimes it takes some figuring out to find out what your dog's most motivating reward is, at this point for Cabana is wandering and mud, you need to find a reward that's more enjoyable than mud. Does she like tug? Rather, does she goes crazy for tug? You can try different types/flavors of treats too, although I'd start with buying sample sizes if you can find them to find her most motivating currency. Try different things, when you hit her sweet spot, you'll know :-D Keep up the good work (unlike me, I've missed two days of walks already from exhaustion. I think I'll take it a week at a time *grin*)Ally and Eclipsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353928230130764060noreply@blogger.com
