Same dirt here. Like concrete. I dont know how anything grows in it

I add rabbit manure and peat moss, as well as sand sometimes. Big difference

Just went out and cut a small ash tree for a roost. Need a few more. But just about supper time.

I used to add chicken manure .

My compost pile never gets turned.

I thought sure veggies would grow good where the chickens used to be but they didnt get enough sun there.
I planted my sun flowers finally where the cukes used to be. Sezs it takes 2 weeks to sprout but they are up 3 days later.

Cool! Timing is everything. Be sure you say Good Girl when she is NOT acting apprehensive, but is acting neutral, confident or friendly, or after the other dog has left, assuming it was an uneventful encounter. Often, just being quiet and neutral yourself is good, so the two dogs can just encounter each other without distracting input from the humans. Praising afterward, to let her know she did well, can be very reinforcing.

My feeling about treats is that they are totally unnecessary. The best treats in the world to your dog are: your Praise Phrase, your Happy Face, and above all, Your Loving Hands. I call these three the Praise Value Menu. You always have them with you! Just say Good Boy (or Girl) and watch your dog light up. Give him eye contact and a big, toothy smile and see how happy he is. Get hands on him and ruffle his ears for a second and he'll be ecstatic! Happiest dog in the world!

No need for treats. They're just a distraction. The pet stores promote training with treats because they are a money-maker for them, not because they work.

Try telling Curly Sue that. Or any yak, treats can't be beat in their opinion. And mine if I am honest. But for dogs very rarely.
