Roni Hoff Moderator Reg: 02-24-2002 Posts: 256 Loc: Offline	Steve; With fear reactions, it depends on the age of the dog,(could be going thru a stage, in which you need to ignore the behavior)and how much the other drives that the dog possesses play into the tempermanent. That's a finasse thing, that I feel much better viewing. The handler themselves can cause issues also. That is why I asked Carol for a lot of specifics. This I feel is best solved on a case by case basis. I sure like to try without corrections first in the teaching phase. I also like a ignore command, very useful, but again taught with alternate focus, meaning focus on me, food or a toy, or movement!

Ember now ignores a car going VERY VERY VERY slow down the drive way from about 35ft, stays on the tug or continues to take food and watch me.... I am so happy that I cried each time she got better........ Sorry guys, but progress with this little gal just makes me REALLY happy..... Until The Tale of the Lioness is told, the Story will Always Glorfy the Hunter
