CJ
cjaneMemberThanks Sweetypye, yes I’ve seen Yvonne for a couple of sessions, it was very helpful but she said we needed regular sessions and she was unable to take on any new clients due to other commitments. I have another contact I’m following up, will be meeting him soon.
CJ
cjaneMemberI’ve thought of doing this with my boy too. Received mixed messages when I asked people if it would be a good idea or not. Some say it would give him an outlet for his instinctive drive, help him to focus, help me with my control and be good fun. Others say once you awaken that instinct there’s no going back, it would be unfair to let him try it if he’s not going to it regularly, it’s not a good to thing to encourage a behaviour which it some instances you’re trying to discourage (ie cars). Confused I am, yes. :confused:

cjaneMemberJust thought it would be good to get away for a few days. Away from environment that may be causing pooch (and me!) to stress out. Away from roads and cars where we can work on basic skills, building our relationship and maybe tackle his aggression issues in a controlled environment. The Wagmore weeks look interesting.
Also, I’m still looking for a behaviourist/trainer I can work with locally. I’d like to find some-one who has their own dogs we can work with, to have one-to-one sessions with, on a regular basis, and who can follow-up after giving us stuff we can do ourselves. I have a contact I’ll be following up this week, fingers crossed.

cjaneMemberSomeone I visited with T used a rattle bottle to stop him chasing some sheep. He only needed to use it once and T stayed well clear of the sheep after.
You see the techniques used frequently on TV programmes like Dog Borstal, Cesar Milan etc., just wanted to get the opinions on people on the board. Do they rule them out completely, or is there a place for them in some circumstances for some dogs?
CJ
cjaneMemberVery subtle difference between the two terms then.
So is a punishment an ‘effective’ aversive? ie an aversive that is delivered at the right time, that has the desired result of modifying behaviour in the way that was intended.
An aversive may be ineffective, and therefore not a punishment, if it was badly delivered/timed, causes avoidance or modifies behaviour in a way that was not intended.
cjaneMemberHow would you describe the difference between an aversive and a punisher?
cjaneMemberI think it depends on how close or similar the animals are genetically, like having the same or different numbers of chromosomes.

Also having a scout around for workshops in my area. What sort of things do you do at the workshop, do you take and work with your own dogs?

CJ
cjaneMemberThanks Fox, I’ll give it a try.
CJ
cjaneMemberWhich recipe do you use Foxisle?
cjaneMemberBut Diesel, you see something you like and there’s 10 of them in the rack, of various sizes. Which ones do you take to try on?
I don’t why they don’t size women’s clothes like they do men’s, ie using waist size, leg length, chest size etc. How are we supposed to know what size 8,10,12 are exactly! We have to use trial and error to find what size fits us from which retailer.
