He had one in June. He can hear my tummy grumble, so his ears are fine. He can see small birds, and my shadow clearly, and likes to watch the fishtank, so I assume he sees great, and I keep the hair clipped away from his eyes.
When the vet comes I can do a thyroid check.

CHERI SAID "Feeling pain anywhere can cause strong reactions".
This also goes for many dogs' response to a prong collar.
Getting the dog used to a collar can also be worked on with marker training.
old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks |

How do you do marker training for that.
I have taught him collar grabs, by hand, and marked, he is whiney but doesn't explode.
Where do you mark for prong, and do you ignore the vocals?

Walk us through an outburst - from first moment to end. Include all corrections, rewards, etc.
Video would be better.... I just want to be able to visualize it from start to finish.... I feel like I am missing something....

.... I feel like I am missing something....
Me, too, Kelly. I am at a loss to come up with any other suggestions at this point.
One other thing I'm wondering about -- and maybe Becky has covered this. I can't remember. How much time is he spending in the crate each day? He is a year old now. Has he reached the point of being trusted loose in the house for periods of time, or is he still in the crate any time you're not actually working with him?

He is not in the crate at all, unless I have to go to town. Until this tues, where he slept in it at night. He loves the crate. Instead I had him tethered, before tues, on a 6ft lead, on his Kuranda pet bed. We had tried loose in the kitchen, but he would pace at night.
That's my big problem. We never get to the correction unless on the road with car outbursts. He throws thevtantrum before I have a chance to correct, and if I pop for the tantrum, it does not change the tantrum.
Say I am taking him out from his bed, to potty, as we pass the kitchen, he turns and attempts to go to the kitchen, I say no, outside, but he sets his mind to the kitchen, plants his feet, starts barking, yelping, rolling, clawing , biting the leash.
Until I had this cast, I kept walking to my destination. Dragging his tantrum arse outside.
I 97% do not get a chance to correct his tantrum. When I do it's a pop, let's go.
Any leash pop when he tantrums, amps up the tantrum. That's why I continue dragging him until he eventually settles down, than I do 180s, sits, etc, Mark with okay, and reward.

Just to be difficult I am going to ask if there is any particular reason he can't go in the kitchen....
I had a teacher in first grade that would say "because I said so" whenever we asked why we couldn't do something. I am now 46 and I still hate her.....

It was because we were headed out for a potty break, otherwise he has access to the kitchen all the time.
