I have two terriors Bindi (1-1/2 year) and COdy (7 mos.), I am presently teaching them that when someone comes to the door, they are to go to their mats and stay there until I release them. I am beginning with my husband coming home from work each day. My question is, when my husband comes home and I send them to their mat, I was wondering if it would be helpful for them to receive the treat from him? I usually give it to the dogs as my husband goes into the bedroom to change his clothes. I was just thinking about this but would not want to start any problems that I might not be aware of. Do you think it is a good idea for my husband to give the treat?
I was thinking my dogs might key in more to the fact when he comes to the door (or anyone comes to the door) they will get a treat if they run to their mat and stay there. Would this tie the visitor and the treat more so in their minds? Or would it be better if I just gave them the treat? (I hope I made myself clear) Thanks for your help.
God bless you
Dear Sandy: Thanks you for your reply. I thought of those things too, but was just wondering what others thought. I want them to make the connection that when someone comes to the door, (a guest and not an intruder) they are to go to their mat. But I think you are right, I will just continue to give them the treats.
Thank you
