Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Mishka likes negative attention, so verbally correcting her is something that she enjoys. She hates being left out. In a true "errorless teaching" or 100% positive reinforcement, corrections aren't given. The negative behavior is ignored or redirected. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

- We don't even need to do timeouts with my pack. Verbal corrections are all we need, they know from my tone and body language when they have done wrong. All I have to do is let out a stern "Hey!" or "No!" and walk toward any of my dogs and all three will roll over and show me their bellies. It truly amazes me every time. That's for all you who doubt positive reinforcement...I never alpha roll, do timeouts, or physically correct my dogs ever and look at the response I can get from a simple verbal correction!
This worked so well for our first husky. You should have seen us trying to train Sabaka like we trained Sandy! During one incidence of bad bahavior, both of us just stopped what we were doing and said, "This is crazy...obviously this is not working." Even now after he has been with us over 6 months, he still goes crazy if we raise our voices sternly to him at all. He must think he needs to "yell" back at us if we yell at him. So he barks and will eventually start jumping and plowing into us if we were to yell and come toward him. I just say calmly, "Okay, you have to go to time-out." He hangs his head and goes in the bathroom... He will actually sit in time-out for his full 5 minutes without fussing at all. I think he sees it as a "re-set"! Most always he comes out a different dog. |

| I wish the bathroom thing worked for time outs because I hate making her associate her crate with time out, but Ghost learned very quickly how to open doors and let herself out. The bathroom thing worked for about a week here... _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014 |

There's no way I'd expect this to work on a puppy or even for it to work within the first year or two of having a sibe. Just saying that with time and patience it is possible for some. _________________ |

I've been practicing a lot of the trials and stuff with the dogs. Getting myself into a habit anyway of "Good sit" "Good waiting" as well as prompting and fading. It's so WEIRD how alike it all is!! _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?! Join our facebook meetup group! |
