I love working with dogs and handlers on these kinds of issues as you can always see that they have a MAJOR hole in their foundation. Some of them have even done Crate Games, but as you said they quit the games. People don't think of this as a foundation GAME for life. They believe that if you work through the steps, then POOF - you magically have Impulse Control. Thanks again for the great post. And I'm really glad to discover your blog. That's the cool thing about this blogger Action day is that I am also discovering lots of talented bloggers.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15198575841113168249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952279853979072226.post-45752113923031488342012-03-07T18:52:26.738-08:002012-03-07T18:52:26.738-08:00Great reminder of something really important.

I still try to reward boost at the start line after leading out (in practice at home and in class) by tossing the toy behind her and then releasing, by coming back and playing tug, stuff like that. I'm so glad that I did a ton of that at the start line early on and that I've continued to do it. I love having a reliable start line stay.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952279853979072226.post-88322519883977318972012-03-07T15:47:02.264-08:002012-03-07T15:47:02.264-08:00Very good post and very true.

Selfcontrol is definitely something when I started that I had no clue about....I remember thinking WHY would I care if the dogs sit when I open the door, I can totally manage it and what was the value of a dog not darting out of a crate, yea it seemed like helpful at times but I had no clue how that all fit into the big picture, but definitely a great lesson!Kathy Mocharnukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029142726866533193noreply@blogger.com
