Question:
Now the icing on the cake - Masha's allergy seems to fade.
She still avoids contact strange dogs but her reaction is
getting milder even to known irritants like Simon's GR.
Boy, is she happy.
We would spend hours chatting on the lawn in our park with
dozen of dogs swirling around.
They joined agility club and Chessie started well.
At least she loves the game, the rest will come.
Happy X-mas, you can say, but that's how it was...
There is a thing to consider in this story:
"a dog is human allergy to dog natural cure"?
Answer:
This is the ONLY intelligent post you've ever
written here, nick. Seems you're a bit of a
FRUITCAKE. You mean share with the community of lying dog abusing punk thug cowards and active long term incurable MENTAL
CASES, nick. That's because dogs learn on the basis of four repetitions. That's not to say they can't learn
some things faster, but for breaking habits, it usually happens the fourth
time we repeat a lesson. Then we need to repeat the lesson at three more locations our time in each to generalize the idea.
Let's say your dog gets excited when you take her lead and go to the front door. She would probably do the same at the back door, but to not such a degree. Likewise for any other door.
It would behoove you to repeat the exercise with several other doors and it would be easiest to start with a door that had less excitement involved with it.
You know that working the dog in the back yard is not preferable, because that causes
them some anxiety because it's their free area.
But with your dog and with the difficulty he is to handle, I don't see any reason you shouldn't
do the Family Leadership Exercise and the come command several times out there, and then you'll
have the control to do it in a more neutral area.
