Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

@black_cat did you teach Finn free stacking yet?

My dog (Lulu) has all ways pulled at other dogs, it’s not aggressive she just really wants to say hello. She has been getting better, now she only really pulls at dogs on leads (especially black dogs) she used to bark and now doesn’t most of the time. I have been trying with treats to get her to look at my instead of the dogs. First walk I tried it on it went amazingly, few walks later she’s not that interested in the treats and just ignores them if there is another dog. Any ideas what to do? I am not sure treats will work because she is not that food driven

what is she driven for? toys? praise? what treats are you using? try something high value, like boiled chicken. Seems like whatever you are doing is working, use patience

She isn’t really driven for anything. The thing with the treats is they are slowly not working, she is getting less and less interested in the them when there is a dog. the treats are chicken jerky dog treats

Just curious, but why?

idk, it's the rules
dogs can't be neutered and bitches can't be spayed

Which age range? I most likely can...

You can compete age 9-18
I think that you can start practicing if you're under 9, but you're not under 9, I'm sure

I wonder if we will get in trouble for saying that when referring to a female dog.

nah, we won't because it's proper show terms
it's like getting in trouble for saying cock when talking about showing roosters

hnnng why is it so hard to pick favorite dog breeds
I have berners at the top but then all of my other favorites are a jumbled mess, I don't have a nice list, which bothers me
