VERY VERY VERY different then walking a 3 month (ish) old Mal around on an oversized flat collar and a flexi lead. Thanks, Kelly, I PMed him that it was a harness. So I hope and believe that error has been addressed.

You have to be fun. Not just food bits and tug -- but YOU as part of the package. You'll see what we mean in the M.E. videos.

Jenny Arntzen Webboard User Reg: 12-06-2010 Posts: 721 Loc: British Columbia, Canada Offline	Hi Nick, Here is the crux of the transformation that I think is going to make a world of difference. You said, "He's our family dog now and will be trained properly no matter what we have to do." If you switch this to, "He's our family dog and we are going to do everything we can to \\train ourselves properly// to become the best handlers and trainers he could possibly have." Do you see the difference? In your phrasing you are putting the onus on the dog to "get fixed" (another phrase of yours from an earlier post). In the second statement you would be taking responsibility for YOUR training, which will include providing appropriate equipment for the age, size and weight of your puppy; taking responsibility for all dog bites, barks, and lunges (handler error); and ensuring you have professional advice on what, when, and how much to feed. This responsibility includes setting your pup up for success and rewards, rather than failures and inappropriate corrections.

So I would start gradually upping the percentage of kibble. Not the amount of the food per meal yet (not two changes at once), but less rice/chicken to more kibble. For example, I'd start tonight to give a few tablespoons less rice/chicken and a few tablespoons more of kibble. Then observe the poop results.
