Thats a great idea. If he does get up, I wouldn't give an absolute. I would just bring him back without a word and give him the down stay again. He will learn to stay with the repeat experiences. He will also retain the confidence that if anything is really dangerious towards him that he can get up and move away from it. Like not liking kids, am sure he would rather get up and avoid a child, then feeling he will be corrected for getting up to need to snap at them. Hopefully that makes sense?

Yes my plan is teaching him to get up and move a foot or two away. That way he knows he doesn’t have to stay there if something is really bothering him, but he is still expected to stay in the general location.

He does already kind of understand this. When I have him in a down stay and I’m there with him and someone messes with him (like my sister, he doesn’t like her much) he always gets up and comes to me (while this is technically breaking his stay, I’ve always allowed it) Now it’s just getting him to understand if I’m not with him and he’s in a down stay to get up but not go far.

@Squawkers There is a couple that comes to our church occasionally with service dogs. One is a little beagle mix for PTSD. The other is a mobility dog. She's a Dobie. They came to church on New Year's and the dogs laid in front of me, so I had something to look at.

I just ordered EVEN MORE STUFF because I was redeeming receipts on the Fetch app and I went to the shopping section and saw Chewy on there for 25 points per $1 spent and I wanted the extra points. I actually saw that the other day but I KEEP FORGETTING TO GO SHOP THERE INSTEAD OF THE CHEWY APP (you have to buy it in Fetch app). So I thought I’d buy some more stuff and get points even though my previous order doesn’t count towards it LOL I got like almost $40 worth of wet food

I’m kind of an idiot LOL

I think I might be a little manic LOL apparently Benadryl can have that effect on some people especially if you have a history of mania or bipolar etc. LOL whoops.

Been meaning to post this for a while but finally got pics LOL

His ears are so weird!!!!!!! Got extra folds and that little notch LOL

Been like this since he was a baby, I noticed it developing but it never bothered him or anything so I left it. Not sure what I would’ve even been able to do anyway.
