'Lo and behold as I made this clear to him he began to soften.</i> <br /><br />We had this same 'ah ha' moment last week when it finally sunk into my herding challenged brain that reinforcement at the right time is more effective than any amount of correction in the world. When Bonnie finally got into balance a nice quiet "there" followed by "walk up" meant more than flag waving or "knock it off" than anything else in the world. Talk about a light bulb moment in moronic land. The flash should have knocked me unconscious - but my head is too thick for that. Bonnie was so relieved I 'got it' that she has quit her zipping and zooming around and is now giving me some room on the sheep - and not taking the skin off their legs. Always a plus.BCxFourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913197081466508005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-37134250052417087832009-12-04T15:03:55.377-05:002009-12-04T15:03:55.377-05:00I have tried to read this post in its entirety a c...I have tried to read this post in its entirety a couple of times now, but I cant seem to get past "farting in colors" then I am giggling to hard to read any further!!!BCxFourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913197081466508005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-87112019852487948182009-12-04T10:33:13.288-05:002009-12-04T10:33:13.288-05:00I love this, Laura!

If the dog is consistently not doing what I ask, he doesn't know what the heck I want and nagging won't help him figure it out. Simple, consistent corrections and talking nicely where appropriate really helps clarify things! <br /><br />But I think maybe Linc is being a little too hard on you ;-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118131996152150797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-89584010743680131542009-12-02T22:40:17.541-05:002009-12-02T22:40:17.541-05:00Oh geez, LOL!!!!Oh geez, LOL!!!!Robin Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621708016412756722noreply@blogger.com
