Kojak, I did use some food in the beginning (the first year). Only to close friends who were helping me with door manners. He's 9 now and I haven't used it in a long time. Like I said before, it has not negatively affected his behaviour when the doorbell rings. He is still the same "tough guy". Looks very impressive when you're on the other side of the door.
Wow 5 questions all at once <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

you said if i tell her the command and she is not obeying then she does no know the command.... why do you say that? she could not just be being dis obedient?
I have a hard time believing that a 6 month old with everything else that is going on and being taught can already without a shadow of a doubt know quiet.
Quote:
one more question i have for you is, you said that people like to solve the problem not the cause.....
(i hope i quoted you right)what do you think is the cause for what she is doing?
It sounds like she is getting mixed messages. On the one hand things she does is ok. Telling her where she ranks in the world. On the other hand shut up! She sounds confused as to what her role in the pack is. Creating conflict. There by creating a 'I don't have the confidence to deal with this situation, so if I scare it off I won't have to' attitude.

Todd, if she is really bad,
should I get the hose out? Or should I just stick to the bottle?
Are you kidding? In my kennel we have a pressure hose!

What does that mean? Can you please elaborate?
If as squirt bottle will make the dog afraid of water. There is more going on than can be fixed on a discussion board.
WHEW!!! I know I know, not supposed to answer that many on one post. So shoot me.
:rolleyes:
I would use 2 seperate commands. On to greet, one to "out". You want different things for both so use seperate commands. Also both commands should be different than the obedience release command. You are not releasing him for an obedience command, but giving a command/information about the situation.
If you can't be a Good Example,then You'll just have to Serve as a Horrible Warning. Catherine Aird.
Todd, what would you say is the best thing to do to hellp her understand her place in the pack and not confuse or make her scared and nervous in certain cituations?
because like i said, i do want her to protect the house with her warnings but i want her to know what quiet means also.i dont want her to think barking at the door is a bad thing. but once we invite some one in and i tell her quiet or down she should do it.
by the way now that i have all of yoru attention for a sec. i have asked this question a million times and still to this day have not received an answer......
ok here goes.......
WHAT IS A GOOD AGE TO START PROOFING HER OBEDIENCE WITH CORRECTIONS???
bet ya nobody answers that one :rolleyes:
