Yeah smkie, I just couldn't do it in the first place. I do snap that padded flat collar sometimes if she dragging me after a dog, but she doesn't seem to get my intensity.
Peyton is pretty solid on many commands even the food ones. If I give her a new soup bone and say drop it, she drops it without hesitation. Sit, down, wait, heal, look and all the rest she's just as solid. It's the dog thing she fails on and her #1 reason she can't pass CGC. More importantly than that, she could bolt out and get hit by a car.
I've also tried keeping her further away from new dogs and treating her for good behavior as we move closer. She loves the treats and still wants to run to the dogs. If she sees a dog a mile away, it's party ON!
She wasn't socialized at all as you know when I first got her. Thinking that dogs socialization was needed to help with her dog reaction problem I took her to the dog park everyday for a month. It didn't get any better and if anything, only intensified her play drive.
I still take her to the DP often but not everyday. She can run and play at the dog park
all day and when we come home, she STILL wants to run to other dogs.
I know I need to fix this, I just don't know how in the most humane way possible. Nothing I have tried has worked so far...dogs are a drug to Peyton, she needs rehab
The only thing I haven't tried is a permanent play buddy. That's one reason I'm looking for another dog.
