As those of you with reactive dogs know, training is a day-by-day situations with progress and setbacks alike. Last week, I was making a lot of progress learning not to bark at Britta. My mom was using a leave it command, and I was going out several times each day where I didn't bark at all.
However, there was a flaw in Mom's training. She didn't teach Dad to participate. Since he wasn't giving me the same commands or rewards, I wasn't listening to him at all. Thus, when she went out of town for four days, the system broke down, and she had to do more training today than she had hoped.
However, you will be pleased to know that I am returning to my old, well-trained self after just a couple of sessions. And now she realizes who really needs to be trained. Sorry, Dad, it's your turn now.
Love, Muggsy
