Stop your dog's mistaken thinking in only a few moments and permanently cancel a behavior. Correcting it takes the entire lifetime of your dog. So you can solve behavior problems permanently quickly, by correcting your dogs behavior problems each time they occur, for all time.
When you run out of energy on whining, nagging, and arguing, just go back to the beginning and read this manual again, and change your view. Change is difficult but worthwhile.
So lets go back to the prior example using the other room command. As you prepare to exit the room after having shown him the meaning of your request, create a sound just before your dog reaches the exit or doorway. As always, instantly praise him. Continue to exit the room yourself, and if he continues to try to exit, create the sound behind him, and praise again. If he successfully exits the room against your command, simply repeat the original command go in the other room good boy. Of course, this will be treated as a new request, to be performed according to the progression of events as required.
Pay attention to the last time sound was used, and try to make sure that in the next instance, the sound comes from the appropriate source, i.e. if your dog went into the other room without sound, perhaps strictly as a coincidence, then, that time would require you to make the sound with your next request.
So First request, go in the other room, ; second request; go in the other ROOM good boy; third request go in the other room, good boy. Heres the rest of the secret: The sequence of events never starts over again, but always continues from the last instance in which the sound was used. It is critical to remember the last occasion in which your dog was given a command.
Lets say, hes out in the back. Call him in. Should he fail to respond, reach for the can, and repeat your request with one hard shake to create sound. Naturally, your dog will respond on this occasion. So next time that he is out in the yard, -even if its the next day, and he does not comply, remember when it was you last needed to re-enforce the command, using sound.
You may take a moment to think, wasnt it last night I asked him to come inside, and i needed to create the sound on my second request for him to come in? Now did the sound come from my hand, or from the can? Follow through with this thinking, and make the right choice.
Do what you can and set yourself a time to do the Family Pack Leadership exercise when you plan to re-train the conditioned reflex to come. Itll take about 10 minutes.
