poodlefan Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Guessing everyone who suggested the dog shouldnt have jumped up all have perfect dogs who NEVER EVER misbehave. pffft...yes the owner should have effected more immediate to control to avoid the situation but Who the Heck walks down a suburban street with a knife! Ithink that is the more imprtant issue here... No, not perfect. But I have sufficient control to keep my dogs off strangers. Honestly, its amazing what a bit of training AND understanding that not everyone welcomes being licked by your dog can achieve. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason we train is to get that mind thinking "doing what my owner wants NOW is more rewarding than doing what I want". You can train for reliable behaviour - that's the whole point. We all know they ain't robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
