preparation. Cotton loose leash---- small cookie set aside-- confined area some how—one or two rooms ...
sitting quietly-----
************
carl come---naw, I don't feel like it---don't move
Carl come---get lost--- pick up leash and walk to Carl put leash around his neck and pause
CARL COME---NO----- YANK HIM ONTO HIS FEET AND LOOSEN THE YANK STAND--- PAUSE..
IF HE TAKES ONE STEP FORWARD. Which he may do because he knows damn well what he's supposed to be doing
then very sweetly good boy--Good boy--good boy and don't tighten the leash at all and step backward one step yourself and say
Carl come---He will probably stand very still and say to himself “this is not going as I planned but I maybe better rethink it.. and give her another small step” and maybe I can teach her not to yank.”----- repeat til your rear is near a seat and the cookie and.....
then very sweetly good boy--Good boy and give him a big head hug- ear scratch 30 seconds—
then give him the cookie let him go to end if loose leash if that happens....---- he will stand there and say “what the f#$%$^&* was that all about”
wave your fingers in front of his face and say ok.. go way lie down...---W..H...A...T ????----waving fingers repeat. go away lie down
sitting still if he does not move---say back and touch toes with your toe...... this woman is nuts...
At this point he will do one of two things he will either go away from you. TO POSITION “A” or he'll just back up a little further....
Either way... carl come..... Let me try the one step forward again and seen WHAT she DOES-----good boy good boy good boy head hug. NO COOKIES. HEAD HUG----- darn I Thought that might have produced the cookie--- stop look and think
good boy wave fingers backup more finger wave go away and lie down- I'm supposed to back up?--- Good boy 5 seconds of pause
Quietly Carl come and watch for the slightest movement forward which gets the good boy head hug, ear scratch and then hand wavego away and lie down
and watch for the slightest movement backward. which gets the repetitive head hug ear scratched
10 seconds oh good boy and pause and repeat come to get a step forward and a good boy. and the hand way and go away and lie down that's another good boy.. and all of a sudden he will say ---- I GOT IT----- LET HIM TOTally loose in the house
To be repeated from “A”. maybe ½ hour later—and he will test to be sure the rules are still the same so have leash and cookie ready
Tapering this to practice in real life. A shorter time between carl come – have cookie--- and go away. And eventually.. no cookie... just good boy’s....
EVENTUALLY GET TO THE GAME OF FORWARD AND BACK WITH SUPER GREASY HAMBERGER AND YOU SHOUL D HAVE A TRAINED DOG. NOW PRACTICE SOUNDING ANGRY.... BECAUSE THAT MIGHT HAPPEN TOO.
