three cheers for NDT pro's

rudy (er...Lacey),

So glad to hear about your progress and your visit with Kevin. Kudos much appreciated - although remember that it's YOU who has really put the techniques into action - and seen the results on account of it. Good work!

I'm not sure how I missed the responses to this. Sorry donnie, Neil.

Donnie - I started pushing with Lou in February. Both meals every day. I started with pushing only and when he got ok with it I mixed it up. Push for food, a little heel work, and on the box. Lou took right to box work and what really escalated his Stay on the box was when I started trying to pull him off a little using his leash. The more I pull the harder he stays.

Then we added Speak.

Then I added distraction - my neighbor's barky fearful Dane, behind a fence. We pushed for food up close to her, far away from her, by her, etc. He would give a good push when she was around.

Neil, you are right I AM doing the work. But, I was doing the work before NDT and got nowhere - the right philosophy is crucial
