kizkiznobitehe will develop into a ‘normal’ pointer …promise ;D
for the other skinny hairless gunners that come on here….such as mudgie ….it been a long long time since i saw a breed of this type that was too scared to cross the threshold to the outside….and it not the outside…and it not the door…it THAT threshold…he been punished for ‘going’ first..for ‘lunging’ through the door…thats what happens when someone is too hard on a lively dog and doesnt teach door manners nicely….uses punishment before reward ( the reward being the going out)….not sure if either of you noticed in the first attempt? (’twas very early) …but he actually looked at his rear end when the door was opened…he was looking for the leash being applied or threat of…across the rear….he hasnt been yanked back…it wasnt a neck end reaction…he been lead whipped….he also only been on a flexi….so lord knows what the whack was done with…he doesnt yet know lead around legs stuff…he used to the tangle of a flexi and he hasnt learnt the ‘pointer’ type stepping action to distangle because a flexi grabs/wraps and holds whereas a normal lead relaxes…he did good…he was making the choice to be back at my side in order to go forward after about 15 mins….he will learn…time love patience…. 🙂
