Then you physically and verbally restrain the keen young dog. Over time and with enough reps. the honor just becomes a way of life without loosing any of the keeness. First you can give up the physical restrains and then the verbal is no longer needed. And before you ask, no I don't use the ecollar for this sort of restraint. <BR/><BR/>Second, while I would love to blame Joisey for Sanity's lack of manners in this area, I must confess it just ain't so. Sanity was already trying to rush other dogs and steal the bumper or toy before Joisey came on the scene. <BR/>margotMargot Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183491858427197526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14982702.post-1137966197882109462006-01-22T16:43:00.000-05:002006-01-22T16:43:00.000-05:00"she had the nerve to actually steal the bumper ri..."she had the nerve to actually steal the bumper right out of an older dog's mouth."<BR/><BR/>Bingo!
